Historically in the west, the style of women's "power garments" have emulated men's fashion... be it kerchiefs and neck ties, pants, or even hose (which were originally the province Italian men)... Although I doubt any particular woman adopts kilts in order to emulate men, the trend of women adopting male garments in general will continue as long as the perception that men have a socially advantageous position, priviledge or power continues. Combine that with the blurring of gender roles (provider, protecter, wage earner, nurturer) that is occuring in both sexes and I imagine we'll be seeing both more men and more women in kilts... Just look at highland dancers.... Fifty years ago, tartan dresses were de rigueur. Now a kilt is REQUIRED for the ladies.

Que sera sera?
