No more Kilts for me

[Raphael]

Wearing a kilt should not be seen as freedom as there is no law in our society that forbid men from wearing the kilt. I don't feel that I am more free by putting on a kilt because I don't know what I am freed from.

In order to feel free, a man needs to feel trapped by the society first. I have never felt like I am trapped. I don't feel that I am trapped that I have to wear a business suit for work. I feel good, comfortable and successful when I am in my suit. I bet either Colin or Todd feel like they are 'free men' when they wore their kilts.

Wearing the kilt should not be about freedom. Men do not need any reason to wear the kilt, except for the inspiration to wear it. We do not need to make up any excuse. I got the idea of wearing the kilt when I was a young boy, and I wasn't try to be free or different. I wanted to wear the kilt because I used to see them all the time during special ceremonies in Hong Kong. It was the Blackwatch and the Royal Scots who inspired me to wear the kilt.

If you want to feel free or brave, go wear a woman skirt.

Oh, the 'S' word ...

There must be a consensus somewhere. Lots of us enjoy a sense of occasion, and that's one thing a kilt can give you. Lots of us wear the kilt casually, and that's what this forum's about. Nobody here has a problem with full-time kilt-wearers. And I can't be the only one here who finds the notion of being tyrannised by trousers a little odd...

Anyone in a kilt is fine by me, whether they wear it once in a lifetime or every day.
