It's not fair

Guys, do yourself a favor and get a kilt. You will never want to go back. I stopped wearing pants years ago.

Nah get a mini skirt and thigh highs to assert dominance over the other girls.
- If I just lookup some Rust programming tutorials will the mini skirts and thigh highs come naturally?
- I wish I could wear miniskirts, my balls hang too low when it's hot.
- Hawt
Give us kilt novices tips! Where to start, where to buy, what to buy, shave? Commando? High socks?
- You can find relatively cheap ones online. Damn near kilt em is one I can vouch for as a good first kilt. Or stillwater kilts for something cheap and more traditional looking.
  
  The number one thing to know when buying is that you need to actually measure yourself. Pants lie, kiltmakers generally don't.
  
  If you want something a little nicer, there are plenty of businesses that make kilts to measure. My last few came from alpha kilts, but I think they quit. Alt.kilt does crazy custom stuff. Utilikilt is probably the most famous one, though I've never actually tried theirs.
  
  There's whole communities online for this stuff. I used to get reviews and find new stores on xmarksthescot.
  
  If you get a contemporary kilt, meaning pockets and modern style, you just need a belt. If you go traditional tartan you probably need a sporran or some other kind of bag or pouch since they don’t have pockets. Traditional kilts also typically use a kilt pin to add weight to the front apron to keep it from blowing around too easily.
  
  Tall socks are good formal wear or cold weather. I am a very casual guy and an arctic creature, so I usually just wear closed toe sandals. But if you live in a cold place and need to stay warm, a full size "9 yard" kilt will do the trick, it creates a pocket of warm air, and the legs being together gives it a mitten effect.
  
  You can go commando (aka going regimental, because in highland regiments underwear is considered out of uniform), but I don't recommend it. For one thing, you don't know fear until you've been caught in a gust of 50 mph wind while walking past a school playground on a day that you decided to save time by forgoing underwear, and now you are desperately holding down all sides of a lightweight kilt and trying not to end up on sex offender registry. But on a much more mundane level, it's also just a lot easier to keep your kilt clean when it isn't directly touching your junk or your crack. I wear briefs but I go up a couple sizes, so that the elastic still holds them up but they hang off me when I'm standing, which feels like I'm wearing nothing at all.
  
  Of course, if anyone asks what's worn under the kilt, you have lots of options:
  
  Nothing's worn, it's all in excellent condition.
  
  If you want to find out it will cost you dinner and a movie first.
  
  Shoes
  
  On a good day, lipstick
- Remember, go up 2-4 inches from your pants size when buying a kilt. So, if you wear a size 32 pants, get a size 36 kilt. Their waist measurements are actually your waist measurement.
  
  Also, the patterns have specific meanings. No one in the US is going to care, but if you go to Scotland someone may address you by the last name the pattern represents (they're like family crests). There are generic patterns out there, though.
I wear a kilt every single day. I love them. I don't even own pants anymore. I'm almost 50 and my "give a fuck what other people think"is used up.
Fuck pants, tunics and kilts rule.
- What are fuck pants? If they rule as much as kilts and tunics I want some.
Yeah, society got it wrong when it made men wear pants and women skirts. Just from an anatomical perspective.
I really want to wear kilts, but decent ones are really expensive and I don't want to spend that money on something I might not like (or more specifically I might not like bad attention from, because I do sadly care about that).
- I live in rural Texas, and no one has said a word about my kilt so far. Not even any weird looks.
Unironically, kilt was actually originally worn by man. (Outside of england ofc)
- Yeah, no shit?
- Kilts are specifically men's clothing, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.
I already wear a jock strap. How much more comfortable can I get?
- Way more comfortable.
  
  Also, thongs are the solution to swamp-ass. Get some good wool ones and you'll never look back.
I feel like I'd get too cold with one

Give it time. At this rate, we're heading directly back to the days of "women ~~don't~~ can't wear pants".

I stand by my belief that society got gendered clothing wrong. Anatomically speaking, men are better suited for skirts and women pants.

Scotland tried, but the damn English wouldn't let things be
- They still put on the kilt for special occasions like weddings and such.
- Kilts are making a comeback, though. I'm currently shopping for a kilt to wear hiking/backpacking.
Right? As a transgender woman who has had the surgery, let me tell you pants are fucking amazing now.

The secret ingredient is 🌈⭐ misogyny⭐🌈

“Hey that made my dick move a little, and I’m definitely not gay!”

Stupid sexy Flanders!
- Looks like he's wearing nothing at all! .... like nothing at all!

The social construct that a certain way of dressing is "masculine" or "feminine" is stupid.

Clothes are uncivilised imo

Word. I'd be a nudist if it wouldn't get me arrested.

A lot of rock stars dress very feminine and have great success with that style. Glam rock? Another guy dressing feminine but having success with it is ziggy stardust.

Also a lot of recent rap artists that are popular with female fans dress feminine

the above image is lil uzi vert the image below is a hardcore gangster rap star called young thug Youngthug cultivates a hypermasculine image but dresses like this

this guy is a straight guy who raps and is alleged to have beein involved in homicides and part of a gang of hardened criminals. just he also has a unique sense of fashion.

there is also gay rappers like lil nas x but i omit him here as I show how far what is acceptable has come.

Hiphop is embracing feminine fashion

Not gonna lie the comedic value of seeing hardcore gangster rappers dressing in miniskirts does not elude me.
- We all have preconceived notions, but there is nothing hindering a hardened criminal from dressing feminine... Don't let the packaging fool you, the guy is as tough as they come :( he just happens to have his own sense of fashion... it's just like the glam rock thing...

When I kilted more often, my primary response was that women loved it. And I liked the attention from women.

It's the confidence!
- It's that women get thirsty too.
It's true. Makes a fella feel good. I wear a kilt every day. Any trip outside our little town...compliments from women. Something most men never recieve.

Do people really get upset about this kind of thing?

Depends on where you live. In my experience, yes
Yeah shit gets crazy outside

Or so I've heard
- Tried going there once, do not recommend.
In my experience wearing a kilt in the deep rural south, no one gives a shit.

Although, they may not want to fuck with someone who has the confidence to wear a kilt in the deep rural south.

And you should see the way people lose all sense when it happens. Society is wild.

All over imaginary boxes our brains try to place people in.

Is the last panel meant to represent people rushing in anger to hate on femboys or people rushing in horniness to see femboys? Because if the latter then I'd agree as I'd fall in that bucket.

Maybe they're angry they're turned on by femboys? Most probably.

Not even gay but I'll be damned if I'm separated from my short shorts.

I destroy my muscles for more than one reason, I'll enjoy the fruits of my labor thank you very much lol.

The feminist Revolution came and told women that they didn't have to be constrained to feminine roles. That they were allowed to Define themselves based on their own merits and desires, not just those of society and her husband.

The masculinist revolution.... never happened at all and I just made it up..

Socially speaking, women have it easier than men

- Yeah lmao women have it harder than men.
  
  Some people need to get off Twitter and realise that in the real world, women are still treated like second class citizen

I just don't care do what you want

Bizzarre to see for me. In Stockholm, half the dude's are metrosexual af

Trans post?

Sort of?

I see it as also applying to anyone who just wants to dress however they want without labels or resistance.
- Like, I'm a cis bi man, but I still own at least three skirts and I wish I could find a dress that fit me
Usually this kind of person is fashionable rather than trans.

What’s with the meme /c’s getting all the mensrights/redpill stuff all of a sudden?

I'd consider this more of a supportive post for people who want to challenge gender norms in fashion. This one just happens to be mocking the disproportionate response to male "femininity".
- No it's not! We're being oppressed!
