Hey, as a man, if i could wear skirts to work i would. That's on you, women. I say kilts should be common men's fashion. Khakis, suits, all that - it's not exactly comfortable.
Well, given that it was illegal for women to wear pants in the USA until the 1920s.. I agree that kilts should be common fashion for men, but that's on men to take that up themselves.
How is a male trying to glimpse a woman's legs equate with 'pervert'? Walking into teenage contestant's dressing rooms while they are unclothed is more 'perverty' to me...

ahh the ole subway grate, the trains ventilate the tunnels by pushing air along as they go so the grates allow air to exit ahead of a train and replace behind it.
I'm pretty sure reproduction is possible without enjoying distress and embarrassment of others, it's just outcompeted on a population level by us having a spread of desires ranging from polite and social to nonconsensual - we need the social impulses for group cohesion and while we don't *need* the less social ones, it just makes more babies overall when they're present in a subset of the population.

They should have Scots men wearing the Scottish Kilts walking around the building to help disperse the men.

Well to think about it, it might attract a different kind of crowd.

Actually, it says it’s the likeliest origin.

No it doesn't. It says it's the most widely known.

No, it says it's the most commonly known origin story, which is very different.

It probably doesn't do it anymore due to other construction in the area.

"23" was an old American English slang that meant to leave or get out of somewhere in a hurry.
