Deuteronomy 22:5
A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God.
In the US, skirts, dresses, and the like, are considered a woman's garments.
A kilt probably is not cross-dressing. I feel that it is somewhat border lined.
Why I would not wear one:
1. I don't know if it is morally ok.
2. They look silly.
3. I'm Dutch, not Scottish.

I agree a kilt does seem like a skirt.
ReplyDeletei suppose the only reason I wear them is because they are a custom of my ancestors and my sister made me.
Well, maybe you could convince her this viewpoint, and she would stop making you wear 'em.
ReplyDeleteMeh, I don't think kilts are cross-dressing. I don't like them or prefer that guys wear them... (I'd prefer that they didn't) ;-) But I don't think it's wrong.
ReplyDeleteWhen they wear kilts for dancing, it's a costume. It's what men /would have worn back then if they were Scottish, or whatever. A kilt would be considered a man's garment. Really. I know it's hard to believe. ;-)
As much as I joke about it, as much as I dislike kilts, as much as I definitely *prefer* jeans/pants for guys...
I think it's more personal preference. I don't think anyone at ECD is cross-dressing by wearing a kilt.
Would it bother us more if it was a dress and wig?
ReplyDeleteI think it would, even if it's just a costume.
Of course it would bother us more: because a dress /is/ a woman's garment.
ReplyDeleteLike I said; a kilt, technically, is known as a male garment.
I see what you're saying.
ReplyDeleteAlso, God is the one who defines cross-dressing.
