The question was posed: "what's your motivation for wearing a kilt?"

I have several:

* To honour my mother and her family, since they cannot be physically present at my upcoming wedding.
* Gender politics - that is, as has already been mentioned earlier in this thread, I too feel that the standard option of "men wear shorts or trousers" whilst women can wear just about anything is bl**dy unfair. As a psychology student, I'm always espousing gender equity and often discussing some of the problems faced by men - I see kilts as a way of "putting my money where my mouth is", so to speak.
* To connect with my roots... after all, William Wallace is one of my great great (with some more greats thrown in) grandfather.
* Doing my own thing... I was raised to be an individual, and continue to do so.

Plus, I hear they're dang comfortable! ;)
