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.

They said the same thing about women in pants. Here's the thing, if you've ever seen a gorgeous woman in tight jeans, you know they made the right decision. Women wear pants all the time now, and it's not considered odd by anyone. It's not even a statement of masculinity. A woman can wear pants and be just as feminine as she wants to be.
On the flip side, I've gotten the impression from several of the lovely tilted ladies that men in kilts are quite something. I don't see any harm in it. They're way better than bike shorts or man-kinis, which are common enough.
Would I wear one? I really don't know. Not only does it take balls, but it also should probably be in a situation where you're not going to be jumping around or sitting across from someone. I can't fold my legs like a girl (there's something in the way), so there would be boxer issues, I suppose. What is the policy for under the kilt? Obviously tighty whiteys are out of the question (as they normally are), so I would assume boxers, but that brings up exposure issues.
