    Easy answer to that- Irish kilts (belted tunics) and the variety the Roman legions (the most successful and feared military in history) were solid colors. So were the greatest warriors in European history a bunch of cross dressing fearies? Somehow I don't think so.

    That's true for the most part Nighthawk. We'll just over look the Greeks.

    Oh, thank goodness. I was worried that you might be Greek. Just joking, nothing matters to me anyway.

    Cross dressing? Well, people who call it a skirt make me cross, and if they persist after being corrected, they just might end up with wounds that need dressing.

    I've posted this before but I'll edit it this time since it bother some last time...

    I was (sort of) accused of cross dressing once.

    I was at a concert and someone yelled "Hey fa****, nice skirt!"

    I calmly responded, "First off, it's a kilt. Second, I'm more of a man than you'll ever be. And third, I'd hate for you to have to tell your friends that you got your a** kicked by a fa**** in a skirt."

    As long as you are comfortable with your own sexuality what does it matter what others may think? Unfortunately our society has not yet come to terms with men wearing ostensibly female garments and the likes of leather kilts etc. appear about as ambivalent to them as going out in a floral patterned frock. Unfortunately unless it becomes a mainstream fashion it will always be thus.

    I agree. I've never been concerned what other people think, I'm just having a hard time understanding the mindset of someone who can take a decidedly manly garment and twist it's intended use like that I have seen any number of women wearing men's clothing, in particular, tuxedos, etc, and I never, ever considered it to be cross-dressing. It's just a woman in a tuxedo. But, then again, I'm not hung up like some people.

    That's my position. Personally, I would have no problem wearing, say, a pink kilt (pink was a masculine colour until 1940's); to be quite frank, I don't give a pair of fetid dingo's kidneys what the masses think of me. Same with my girlfriend.

    However, I find myself more often than not keeping the peace with my and her families. Oh well, it's the only family I've got, might as well not get thrown out .
