:''I'm simply writing about'' No you're not, you're writing about some made-up term. There are plenty of Wikipedia articles focusing on male-skirts such as [[kilt]] and [[sarong]], so no one is trying to prevent this appearing on Wikipedia. If you think that a article summarising the different forms of skirts is needed, then go ahead and write one. But you haven't written one here. [[User:Mdwh|Mdwh]] 09:19, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
::'''Response''' There is no Wiki article that deals with the term the fashion industry and countless special interest groups and wearers of skirts, kilts, (etc., ad nauseum for more than 70 different names) came up with that was inclusive of all forms of "male unbifurcation garments." This acronym (hence, not neologism) was coined at least as early at 1996 by Tom, late of Tom's Cafe, but recent hits indicate it had owes its existence to discussions of fashion through the fashion media as early as the 1970s. Regardless, it is a modern-day acronym which accurately describes the style of fashion worn by 1.4 Billion members of our world's population.
Let's put that into perspective:
Total number of people in the United States: 298,444,215 (July 2006 est., according to CIA World Factbook).
Total number of people in the World: 6,525,170,264 (July 2006 est., according to CIA World Factbok).
Total number of men who wear Male Unbifurcated Garments: 1,305,034,052. this is 4.4 times the number of people in the entire United States of America.
Is any of this sinking in, that this isn't a "passing fad," "neologism," "weaselism," and the other terms that have been thrown at this very real issue in pathetically ridiculous attempts to discredit what happens to be simple reality? That "Scotland" is but a very small country of which we're aware men wear these garments, but is but one of many countries where these garments are routinely worn, outnumbering Scotland by many hundreds to one?
I'm really growing tired of trying to educate Wiki administrators who should by now posess at least a rudimentary understanding of the wide variety of cultures and practices around the world, particularly since they're responsible to content from some 170 countries. Their apparently gross lack of understanding of even a basic form of human dress casts serious doubt as to their ability as administrators to effectively, and most importantly, '''''objectively''''', administer this very global website known as Wiki.
