As I understand it, the so-called bra burning didn't actually happen, but it was meant symbolize the feminist movement. It was an idea concocted for a protest outside the Miss America pageant in Atlantic City. But the protesters were unable to secure a license to burn anything on the boardwalk. (Think about it - boardwalks and open fires don't mix well.)

Anyway, the bra burning thing - or the symbolism behind it - was not so much about clothes but to express the right for women to break free of the traditions that bind them to particular gender roles.

For men and kilts and our undergirdings - and people's interest in it - well, it's not the same thing.
