Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.

When asked 'Why the Kilt?'
I respond-The why is F.T.H.O.I. (For The H--- Of It)
Good thought to live by - if you can I'll admit that after the first glance through I had to go back and inspect the (lack of) punctuation. Just my nature to look at that, I suppose, even to the point that I usually can't settle down to reading a book for long until I've checked whether it uses proper ligatures.

You forgot some definitions. Try this etymology and excerpted definition:
Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 wrote:Cant \Cant\, n. [OF., edge, angle, prof. from L. canthus the
iron ring round a carriage wheel, a wheel, Gr. ? the corner
of the eye, the felly of a wheel; cf. W. cant the stake or
tire of a wheel. Cf. {Canthus}, {Canton}, {Cantle}.]
3. An inclination from a horizontal or vertical line; a slope
or bevel; a titl. --Totten.
[1913 Webster]
That said, (to perhaps take your post more literally than I suppose it was intended) I find it hard to believe that one can find a sensible dictionary definition for "cant" to put replace the poster word with. Certainly none of the ones I've read make much sense, unless you assume that they left out the apostrophe. This is arguably an artistic decision as it would then be the only punctuation mark if you consider the contraction apostrophe as such.
