ECD Part 2: Kilts

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.

ECD Part 1: Searching

This is the first of a series on English Country Dancing. My thoughts on ECD, on the people attending, and the thoughts about ECD of those who I've talked to.

First off, I probably need to clarify that, yes, I am fine with dancing. I like dancing with my sister best though, it's much easier to talk.

The first thing I think is weird about the English Country Dances is that some people's motives are solely for acquiring a soul mate. Finding a spouse based on what can be seen at a dance seems like a bad idea.

I talked to someone who told me that that is their reason for attending. They said that they didn't really care for dancing but they came to the dances get to know girls, by dancing, and they wished that they could go to more of their church's social gatherings for the same reason.

The other thing I don't like about ECD is the ridiculous attire.
I there to dance or hang out; not to reenact the 1600s. If others want to, that's cool with me.
Also, kilts feel like cross dressing, even though they might not be.

I don't mean to offend anyone.
If you believe I am wrong, please expound. I am not a fountain of knowledge of this topic.
