1. Imagine the thrill of going commando.

      You just wanna see Trump’s junk!

      1. Is GYM an acronym for Gay Young Man? Or Gross Yucky Man?

   2. And I won’t even wear a pink Izod shirt. Ohhhhhh mommmaaaaa … I’m so repressed.

2. Did he mention he’s a bottom?

3. I don’t want to see men in skirts.

   I don’t want to see obese women in skirts either. Long dresses? Yeah that’s acceptable. Even gosh awful pants suits are better than short skirts for most (mostly obese) women.

   1. I thought feminists fought for the right to wear pants. And now it turns out wearing pants is a restrictive burden.

4. One benefit would be (in the Scottish tradition of wearing nothing under the kilt) giving bold moon to the Liberal opposition.

      “Benefit”

5. If skirts are so great, why did women fight so hard against the stigma of wearing trousers? People used to whisper about women who wore pants instead of skirts.

   Slacks on women used to be verboten when I was a kid. No woman would dare show up at church, a PTA meeting, or go to the stores downtown in slacks.

   Thanks to WWII and women having to work in the factories, pants on women became ‘OK’ for those working women. Skirts were unsafe around moving machinery that, in those days, was often poorly or completely unguarded. Women in skirts working on aircraft or ships that required the use of ladders for access were a distraction, to say the least.

   And don’t forget the lesson about skirts and ventilator grates that Marilyn Monroe taught us all. Trousers eliminate that problem.

   Now that there is no stigma associated with women wearing slacks or shorts, we have poll results as to which is the preferred attire; skirts or slacks/shorts. Just go out on any street or to any store and look.

   Why would men want to adopt attire that even women eschew?

   Bonus! Once again, another jurinalist (Swedish pronunciation) proves that intelligence is not required in that line of work. WAFI

      Good post. I have noticed more women wearing dresses lately, and find it becoming and welcome. As it does make them seam more feminine. I like fluffy girls.

   2. right on all counts. Kate Hepburn very famous for bucking the trend, and naturally the source of all gossip hollyweird overflowing with rumours of her sexual orientation.
      for me the fact she was so deeply in love with Spencer nullified that notion.
      lm making no moral judgement here just observation.
      petite Audrey was more my type.

6. On a man it’s not a skirt, it’s a KILT.
   The trouble with wearing a kilt, is unless you know how to do it correctly, you run a serious risk of ending up looking like a trollop.
   Watch the beginning of Rob Roy and you’ll get a sense of what it’s supposed to look like.

   1. tell everyone in africa and india that

   2. It being worn by a woman will not make
      a kilt a skirt. It being worn by a man will not make a skirt a kilt.

   3. I wonder if The Guardian would have published that had they heard this?

      There is the story of a young man considering joining the British army and the advice of his worldly uncle –

      “Join a Highland regiment my boy. The kilt is an unrivalled weapon for fornication and diarrhea “

7. Billy Connelly called them “Kilty kilty cold bums” when he was a kid.
   And may still to this day.

8. the comments in the link are pure comedy gold.
   tq again sda for the service you provide.
   took me a long time to type that out lm laughing so hard.

   l got badgered by my brother’s friend to dress in drag for halloween school party.
   grade 4 or 5. early 60s.
   l was naive and didnt expect the reaction. never wore a dress again.
   l can laugh about it *now*

9. If you don’t know the difference between a skirt and a kilt, you are not a true Scott and shouldn’t be wearing one, unless of course, you work for a certain window washing outfit..

   Kudos to those who know that a proper wearing of one entails going “regimental”.
   Also, the old joke that sheep run from the sound of a zipper..

   As for originality, pah, Will Smith’s kid was doing the same, back in 2016. At least he got a gig with Luis Vuitton women’s wear!

   “So, you know, in five years when a kid goes to school wearing a skirt, he won’t get beat up and kids won’t get mad at him,” Jaden said.

   But, yes, there is a big difference between comfort, fashion and just being an insufferable twat..

   1. “unless of course, you work for a certain window washing outfit..”

      Thought it was just a Calgary business, they are everywhere…….

10. back in the hippie days when radio talk shows were abundant, the show host who was sympathetic to us young folks, is on with a very thick accent scotsman balewailing about long haired hippies looking like girls.
    so the radio host points out does he wear a kilt? makes him look like a woman.
    i’ nye a ddddress i’ a kilt etc in his brog tongue.
    cant make this up.

11. At least we aren’t “skirting the issue”.

    1. I’m going to bed now,bye.
       After the US-Finland game.

12. The Guardian…..too funny

13. As a newly wed who married into a very Scottish family I lacked a kilt for Robbie Burns night. My father in law was no help. His kilts were way too big for me. Fortunately my new wife had an old skirt that looked very kilt like and it fit. It was even her clan tartan. I wore it to the party and fell in love with kilts. I now own about a dozen and wear them regularly. It is a rare time that I wear one and am not complimented by the ladies.
