Why do people feel the need

to make jokes about guys wearing kilts?

My 13 yr old son donned his Dad's kilt for a formal dinner at scouts tonight.

The scouts were fine - the worst comment was "really A, really???"

But one of the Mothers thought it was fun to refer to him as a young lady! X-(

By the way he looked absolutely stunning, but I am biased. 😉

The scouts were fine - the worst comment was "really A, really???" huh?

was he wearing jocks? was it windy? did he need to sit on a chair facing a crowd?

ok i'm done

[**meep**]

:^O:^O:^O

sorry but come on, how can you not?  its harmless imo

Cross-dressing is becoming more acceptable these days, isn't it?

As long as your son was OK with wearing the kilt who cares what the silly mother thought.  

Was the dinner nice?

Obviously the need is there. 😞

But next time you see a guy wearing a kilt, try and think how you would feel with smart alec jokes being made about your clothes all day.

My husband gave up wearing it as people would make jokes and actually run around trying to look under it.  Harmless fun to those doing it, humiliating and degrading to those receiving this "fun"

It was thanks.  A friend dropped off my older boy after his Taekwondo class and commented how nice it was to see young kids dressed nicely and well behaved. Given she is a high school teacher, I was very impressed with my scouts. 🙂

I'm glad he had a good time at the end of the day that's all that really matters.  Sadly Kiwi some people just don't think about their comments 😞 How sad your OH had to put up with such appalling and ignorant behavior. I hope both he and your son can be proud of their heritage regardless of what others do and say:-x

good on your son 🙂

My son and his mate (both have Scottish background) wore their fathers kilts to their yr12 graduation dinner. I was extremely proud of them both for showing pride in their herritage, and showing respect for their fathers.

my son is 6'2" and his mate is taller than that!.... dont think either of them got picked on! LOL

I have a lovely photo of them both standing back to back. 🙂

proud mum :-x

Not everyone who wears tartan is a tart.
