if you're of Scottish ancestry, and you're wearing it as part of honoring heritage for something, then by all means. But I think criticism is deserved when attempting to adopt it as an actual item of clothing for day-to-day wear.

Of course, the article is terrible and biased as all hell by some moron bigot, but that doesn't mean he's wrong when he points out that a kilt is exactly the same thing as a skirt, regardless of origin or who wears them or the manliness of the manly men manning it up in them happen to be.
