About Me
- Connor Hamilton
- I am a junior History major at Hillsdale College in southern Michigan. I would like to write, or teach (or, if God wills it, both), in a way that honors God and benefits men. My interests include writing, reading, foreign affairs and politics, friendly discourse, and outdoor activities like hiking and cycling. I am interested in many historical eras, but I have focused on Europe (particularly Germany and Russia) in the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as the history of the Middle East, and Islam as a whole.

I heard a peice on that on the radio today and laughed hard. =P The fact that he's Finnish and Norwegian amuses me even more!
One would think that in today's 'tolerant' society, they'd be accepting of such things. Riiiight? Just hilariously amusing, the whole issue. *grin*
There's the press for you: they call a kilt a skirt just to get your attention.
Now if he were one of those surgically enhanced eunuchs trying to become a woman and asking to wear a real skirt as a way of expressing that, or if he were a Muslim woman campaigning to wear a niqab on the job, there'd probably be less open protest. But a fat white male asking to wear a traditionally masculine Western garment simply on the grounds that it's more comfortable? No, that's too much trouble.
(Which is not to say that I think they should necessarily listen to him and make the change. I generally disapprove of the notion that regulations should be altered to suit the individual rather than vice versa. After all, if they let this slide, what's to stop the guy who wants shirts to be optional on similar grounds?)
