Well, I dunno what wikipedia YOU'RE reading.

1. That entry no longer exist, it now reads, "A skirt is a tube- or cone-shaped garment that hangs from the waist and covers all or part of the legs.

In the western world, skirts are usually considered women's clothing. However, there are exceptions."

2. I guess that's why all the Scotsmen wore them, right? And many of the ancient world citizens who lived in hot climates huh? In fact skirts just seem to be a very old idea of clothing that has changed overtime, and was previously a unisex robe for your lower regions. So I guess that means the entire world used to be gay and needed easy access before the old medieval period came along.
