Here's me 2 cents. My wife refers to me kilts as "skirts". At first, it bothered me, but later on, when I started refering to my kilts "skirts", both she and I know what we are talking about. As for the clueless folk, well, there's not much you can do about them, except explain to them that there are other ways of wearing what's below one's waist.
I really haven't heard any bad comments when I'm out and about, sure, I get the stares and the wide eyes, but I also get the smiles, mostly from women.
Once, I heard a lad say "What's with the skirt?"
My reply was "Your insecurity is showing."
Skirt? Kilt? As long as I feel good about myself while wearing one, its nobody's business but me own.
