Speaking of bathrobes Redmage, have you noticed they are called bathrobes regardless of whether they are made for men or women? Using the same terminology for both men's and women's clothing is not as novel a concept as you would seem to have us think. We don't call pants something different simply because they are taylored for the opposite sex. We can still call them pants regardless of whether they are tailored for a man or a woman. In fact, the same is true of shoes, sweaters, vests, blazers, shorts, socks, coats, gloves, sweatshirts, boots, watches, slippers, belts, and caps, sandals, earrings, and mittens.
While a skirt and a kilt may look similar, they have independent origins in distinct cultural traditions. It is not simply a skirt tailored to fit a man. The fact that it looks similar a modern garment that you would call a skirt is just a coincidence. The history of the kilt in its modern form goes back at least to the 18th century, but women in Western society didn't start wearing garments that resemble modern skirts until well into the 20th century.
So why is it so unreasonable to call a skirt that's tailored for men a skirt? Face it. A kilt is a specific type of skirt.
Because a kilt is not a skirt, no more than a dolphin is a fish just because it has a similar shape.
There are in fact men who cross-dress in women's skirts, and there are even skirts designed for men:

But a kilt is a distinct and very specific garment.
By the way, here's a more realistic look at the reactions guys get for wearing kilts. Take note of the closing comments.
I suppose if you hang around with homophobic, insecure, immature idiots, then this may be the kind of reaction you might expect. But I'd hardly call that a typical reaction. More like what you'd expect at your local college fraternity house.
I believe you've mentioned that you would never wear a kilt yourself, nor have you ever seen anyone wear one, so that suggests that you have no idea how most real people would really react.
As I've mentioned many times before, I regularly wear a kilt in public, at work, at dance events, and just today at the local shopping mall.
At the mall today, most people took no notice all. And those who did notice, were merely curious about it. Not a single person mocked me or my kilt. Not to my face, nor within eyeshot of me. If the mall isn't a relatively typical slice of America, then I don't know what is.
I'm not entirely certain why your masculinity is so threatened by kilts and the men who wear them, but I don't particularly care. As I've also mentioned before, my kilt gets me
lots of positive attention from the women I hang around with, so I'm perfectly comfortable wearing one!
Love ya, Meemers.
