Why do women think it okay to grope a kilted Scotsman?
Like most young Scots, I’m proud of my nationality, and as part of that, I often wear my kilt when I’m going to football and rugby matches, weddings, ceilidhs, parties and events, or sometimes just when me and my mates are on a special night out. It’s feels great to wear, and it looks great too.
But why is it that with a lot of women, as soon as they see a man in a kilt, they suddenly think it’s okay just to grope them at will without their permission, or even stick cameras under their kilt and take photos?! If someone did that anywhere else they’d probably be arrested – but when it’s a man in a kilt, it’s somehow okay!
I’m not prudish or anything – I get that when you’re wearing a kilt, women are going to be intrigued by whats under it (and as a proud Scotsman, I would never dishonour my country by being anything other than a True Scotsman). If a women asks nicely, I’ll sometimes even let them lift it enough to know the answer.
By why is it that women think they can just do what they want with a kilted Scotsman and he’s just expected to grin and bare it? I was kilted in a bar last night and a women from a hen party just came up, stuck her hand between my legs and groped my bits, causing much whooping from her friends! When I kind of objected to this, they got quite indignant, like it was *me* who was in the wrong! And to make it worse, while I was arguing with them one of them stuck their camera up my kilt and took a photo, to much laughter from the others. In the end some how *I* ended up apologising to them for getting annoyed and they ended up screaming and laughing over a photo of my bits! *sigh* Even at our office christmas parties and the like, the women suddenly seem think they can do what they like – lifting, looking, grabbing and taking photos of all the kilted lads, with it just sort of being assumed that this should be fine and none of the guys should make anything more than a token show of resistance.
The general view just seems to be that as a kilted Scotsman, this is all just something you should accept, and if you don’t want it to happen, don’t wear a kilt. I guess that’s maybe so, but part of me thinks women do need to learn some manners too! Why is it that they think that the rules change as soon as Scotsman puts on his kilt?!
@ Jay P – oh no, the last thing I’d want is to involve the police. I’d just like some women to learn manners!
@ Adam S – I probably wouldn’t have minded so much if it had been a bit of good-natured joking around. Still embarrassing, but I can accept that in the name of fun. It was the fact that it came totally out of the blue that was a bit much. I guess I should perhaps be glad only the one up kilt photo got taken – not an album full! Fear not though, none of this will stop me wearing my kilt, or going regimental. I’m a true Scot and proud of it!
@ * – I’ve been to well-raised ever to hit a women 
No matter how annoying they’ve been. I’m not sure I felt humiliated at the groping – definitely embarrassed though! When they were passing round the camera with the up-kilt shot as they left, whooping and laughing – that was pretty humiliating, I guess. Thing is, if they’d just politely asked, I’d probably have let them have a wee look under my kilt – I’m not out to spoil their fun!
