I think it would be rightfully so. Why, because a dress is viewed by our culture as womans garment.

The fact is that at the beginning of 20th century pants were just as equally considered a mans garments. Someone had to violate cultural beliefs in order for pants to ever had become fashionable on women. I don't believe it was Christian women who begun the trend of women wearing pants. I think it begun with hollywood and then WW2 gave incentive by giving practical function for ladies in the job force.

Interesting points.

I have Scottish heritage, so wearing a kilt is considered traditional male attire, even if it isn't crotch-knit.

I too have Scottish ancestry, but I am not a part of that culture. I have been born and raised in West TN. I would feel inappropriate wearing one. I don't believe kilts are everyday attire for most Scottsman. I have read where it is more formal. (weddings, reunions, certain job uniforms, etc..) I wonder how the kilt originated, that would determine my opinion whether I agree with then or not.

I was born and raised in Ohio. I've only worn my kilt to our annual The Celtic Festival and to a couple St. Patrick's Day events (just to bother my Irish friends lol). Since having kids, I don't get out and about to as many festivals as I used to and so I haven't broken out my kilt in quite a while. Now, if I lived in Scotland, I'm sure I'll have worn it far more.
