This web-site was really an interesting read. I was surprised at some of the things they wrote for example, throughout history men used to wear skirts that exposed their leg for display of prowess. Also the punk/grunge bands today adopted the skirt as a sign of self-expression and defiance. I would never have read that much into these men wearing skirts...if anything I thought they were making a bold fashion choice. I'm not sure that in today's society people would look at men in skirts and think that they were making a positive statement or reflecting history.

Yes, I agree with you Ashley. When i was in high school it was, for some clicks or groups, fashionable to wear kilts and boots. No way were people thinking that these students were making a positive statement as these were guys who were racist "skin heads". As for them reflecting history, I dont think so.
The web site was very interesting as it made me think of this group that was known as the punks at my high school.

I also found this website very interesting. I do not think people would view these students as trying to protray history. Corrie, like at your school, the students at my school were also called punks!
