    I find it extremely disrespectful and my reaction will be severe, even if it is just a friend going too far. Unless it's someone who I want to be accessing the goods (and since I'm single at the moment that's limited only to medical examinations) I view it as a violation of my rights and quite possibly an attack.

    But what is worse to me is the notion that I shouldn't be offended. If other people are ok with it, fine, good for them. But I am not and the idea that I should either just accept it or that somehow the fact that I am a man in skirt makes it acceptable when under different circumstances the same action would have the offender on a registry for the rest of his life, that just makes my blood boil.

    Luckily I don't spend much time around people who are likely to do this, and for the most part the biggest offender is the wind.

    Haven't been offended yet. Been lifted a few times and have no qualms about it. In my imaginings I've considered how I'd respond if lifted by an obnoxious brute. I've concluded that my response would either betray me or build me. To be offend or take umbrage will impede the wider general acceptance of kilted men. Simply responding appropriate to the activity and environment will promote greater courtesy's toward kilters and help foster less tolerance for ignorance by an informed public.














    :crap:
    Go, have fun, don't work at, make it fun! Kilt them, for they know not, what they wear. Where am I now?

    A Scotch blessing is when somebody gives you a bottle of a decent single malt whisky!

    A Scottish blessing might well be akin to a Glasgow Kiss
