Category #3 includes quite a few men. In fact the current world champion highland dancer is a MAN. And, almost to a man, the men of the dance world wear dress tartans.
Aside from the gender issue created by David L. Pope's faux pas, I tend to agree that most "dress tartans"-- particularly those with white backgrounds-- really are better suited to ladies attire and Highland dancing competition. That said, if someone felt they looked the biz in a dress tartan... well, that's fine by me.
