Fortunately, I've only ever had the discreet check from the back. I'm not sure how I would handle the brazen approach some of you have described. I do think we all need to remember that for now a double standard does exist in society between men and women wearing skirt-like garments. Is that right? Of course not, but it does exist and it will take a long time to change it, and certainly not unless kilts become mainstream garments. Maybe I'm more easy-going than some of the gents who have responded here, but some of their reactions seem extreme. But then again, I do recognize that for some people you have to go to extremes to get their attention. I don't think violence is warranted, except maybe for those times when the checks become actual assault. Let's try educating the public, but remember it's going to take time.
