Historically why was it acceptable for boys to wear kilts?
Because our modern interpretation of what it means to be a man isnt the same as the Scottish one.

Why would it not be?

Easier access to their boypussy
>Historically
Well, it's currently acceptable. It's actually coming back into fashion a bit where I am. You sometimes see guys in kilts just on a night out rather than only at weddings and big parties.
Gaels did wear trousers historically but they were very tight and more like leggings than breeches.
>>2617078
Because Scotland and Scottish loins are free!
Pants only came into existence when riding horses became plausible. Horses were otherwise unruly and only good as beasts of burden until they were more thoroughly bred after the bronze age. The saddle, bit and stirrup helped too but didn't altogether come until later.
>muh war horses
Those were all chariots with really shitty wheels. Everyone wore kilts, long tunics or straight up dresses (e.g. togas) before pants became more convenient because of frequent horse riding.
Pants as universal clothing is a pretty modern thing.

The better question is why it became 'unacceptable' to wear them.
>>2618618
it's feminine
>>2618618
Usually compared with skirts, thus feminine. I would definitely wear one, looks comfy

Makes sense. l'm from a part of the world with a lot of Scottish ancestry. You'll see kilts and bagpipes at parades or the occasional wedding or whatever, but outside of that its gonna look weird as shit.
Technically speaking pants are more suited for women due to lack of dangly bits and kilts are far more suited to men

Why do Cossacks look so Muslim?
>>2617078
I think the more interesting question is why the skirt became an exclusively male dress.
>>2620583
Well the zaporozhians were basically russians with influence of mongols and BTFOing the Muslim for dozens of years so they adapted some wartime stratagems as well as cultural morays. I strongly recommend you look up this painting. Definitely my favorite artwork based upon context.

The more interesting question is why the skirt became an exclusively male dress before Catholicism became the default religion if you get my drift
For much of the middle ages and early modern period, all toddlers and young children wore robes, skirts, or dresses, as it was easier for the child to go to the bathroom and easier for caretakers to clean them. Girls would continue to wear dresses all the time, while boys would eventually be "breached" where they would wear breaches (pants) for the first time, usually around age 7 or 8. After the development of running water and washable and disposable diapers, this was phased out, but still persisted in some traditional and "old aristocracy" families into the 1900s.
Pic related, this is Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the greatest President of the United States, in a dress before he was breached.

>>2617415
Did William Wallace actually dress like that or would he look more like the traditional conception of a knight from that era?
>>2620614
>why did skirt become feminine before ((Catholicism))
Niqqa wat, the full priest uniform could be described as a dress
>>2620886
He'd look like any other big ass mailed knight.
To provide easy access to their bots.
Celts are sexual degenerates.
>>2617411
They also went without pants frequently, actual kilts aren't recorded until the 16th century but they had a lot of similar stuff.
Mostly brats and the leine which left their legs bare.

It never did. Where the fuck are you people getting your information.
