I hear ya on the skirt/kilt thing.
Heck, at work we’re officially not allowed to wear shorts according to the dusty old company manual that passed my desk many moons ago. I’ve never tested that rule myself, and never really see others wearing them either. Because you just KNOW that it’s going to get you comments from other colleagues. And that’s just shorts.
A kilt certainly seems like a very comfortable option during summer, but only if you don’t really need to carry a bunch of stuff. Cargo shorts always were my preference during summer as a kid and teen.
Society would certainly be better off if we stopped giving a shit about what’s masculine and feminine in terms of clothing and just let everyone wear everything they want without judgement. If a woman can wear a skirt, so should you and I if se want to.
Of course, you can always just start with a kilt to honor your ‘Scottish heritage’. If you look at a family tree long enough, there’s bound to be someone Scottish… ish somewhere :D And the Scots certainly don’t mind - anyone’s allowed to wear a kilt if they want to.
