Interesting point. I hadn't thought of that. More than a few of us wear the kilt for the feeling of freedom from societal pressures to conform. From there, I was led to heritage, but freedom still underlies my basic motivation. Even traditional kilt wearing is based in expressing the freedom to wear traditional Scottish garb, in face of historical, political opposition from the powers that were.
Thanks for your insight.
