FM (and Wife), I've worn my kilt quite often around Louisville (in particular when piping for the last several annual St Patrick's Day parades - the Saturday before the Day) and have yet to be accosted by anyone - male or female - even then. The most I've gotten is a smile and 'Nice kilt!'. No one (to my knowledge or recollection) has ever tried to kilt-check me in the 9 years I've been kilting.

Granted, I'm seldom kilting alone (usually at least one other band member around), and I rarely venture out in my personal kilt. Say, didn't you mention in my happy thread that we in Louisville are overdue for a kilt night?
I unfortunately have been asked the question in my wife's presence on numerous occasions usually by teenage or early twenty something giggly girls, and on one occasion actually had a young woman (lady would be too good of a word for her) actually kilt check me in passing in a busy public place (luckily no Wife around) after which I sternly scolded her and threatened a complaint of sexual assault, inquiring how she might respond if I were to try to lift her skirt in a public place without permission. Came within a gnat's whisker of purposely dumping a full glass of beer on her head for trying it, but thought better of it as I did not desire to waist good beer on bad manners.

Yes we are due for a kilt night and I will be working on it---the date you gave me at last discussion was a significant conflict for me, unfortunately. Will be in touch as my schedule opens up again. Apologies for not having fulfilled my offer yet. But soon. Promise.
