There was a time when pants were strickly for men. Now its more common to see a woman wearing them than a woman in a skirt.

I have also been to enough highland games that have women's competition to know that the female athletes wear kilts.

If my daughter asked to honor her father's heritage by wearing a kilt, I would not say no. Also, I have not found a kilted skirt made for a woman with my proportions and think that a pleated kilt style garment would be better suited than the straight cut skirts or extremly short mini skirts i've seen so far.
