What do you wear and where to you wear it.

[dragonslain]

After reading the "Fear about public MUG wearing" and it got me thinking. So I thought a poll might help to see what people are wearing at where they wear it.

Sorry for all the poll options but I tried to cover all the bases.

Sorry for all the poll options...

I take it that "kilts/MUGs" (Male Unbifurcated Garments) covers traditional and modern kilt and kilt-like garments that do not look to most people as having been made for women to wear. And in contrast, "skirts" covers the garments most people would think were made for women to wear.

I can see why you've had to include so many poll options!

For each of the two categories (kilts/MUGs and skirts) the person voting could select any of these 4 options:
1) don't wear
2) only in my home
3) only away from home so no one I know will see
4) anywhere, even close to home where someone I know could see.

... which makes a total of 4 x 4 =16 possible answers!

Please define "most people"? I ask this because 75% of the men on the planet wear all or part of the time, skirted garments on their lower half. Also because a kilt IS a skirt, as is a sarong, a sulu, a tupena, a kikoy/kikoi or a mudlum. mudlum is what the Indians (India Indians) in the area where Tigers are still targeting humans as their primary food, wear. I saw a program on the Nature Channel about it recently. An interesting aside is that those Indians wear helmets that have a face on the back so the tiger (which likes to attack from the rear will circle around to the persons actual front to launch its attack, giving the intended target a better chance to escape.

Personally I, who live in a Hurricane area and have at least several days to get away, have no clue why anyone would want to live in an area where the home populace is being attacked daily by the Biggest living predatory cat.

Those folks probably eat more zooloft than anyone in the world...

Please define...

Skip,

In the context of how open or how cautious we are in wearing our kilts/skirts, I would define "most people" to mean most of the people we typically come into contact with in the course of our day-to-day living. ("Contact" to include all those people who see us, perhaps from a distance.)

I agree a kilt is a skirt, but in this questionnaire dragonslain was making a distinction. I was deducing what his distinction was so we could all answer the questionnaire on the same basis.

So far there are only 29 votes. Hopefully there are more than that reading these posts who do skirt!! Come on... VOTE!

I didn't vote, because, as usual, I don't fit into any of the categories given.

1. I mostly wear skirts at this point (as opposed to kilts), but I do this at home and in certain venues where I know people. So the "only where nobody I know will see" doesn't apply.

2. On the other hand, I don't wear them around family, my town, or work, or where I'm likely to meet many people from these places. So, "I don't care who sees" doesn't apply either.

3. I don't wear my skirts much around strangers, though I'm trying to get up the nerve to do so.

4. I do have a kilt, which I don't wear often (11oz wool is pretty uncomfortable!), mostly Scottish dancing and anywhere else I go on the way from or to dancing. This includes the local grocery store, gas station, etc.

5. Whenever I get around to buying a Utilikilt and/or making a kilt, I'll probably wear that more often, including around town and in front of family.
