e-MANcipate! pantyhose for men news page
"If you really want to get us on board with the trend, stop hiding them!"
Trendinista*, a fashion blog gives authentic advice for pantyhose wearing men in a fairly positive, but at least independent-minded, illustrated article last week.
The author - a lady - wrote a few sentences about our progress a few weeks ago and seemingly received a surprising amount of reactions from men wearing pantyhose as a regular clothing item.
The interesting thing is - as she wrote in her first blog entry - that her first thought was that it must have been a fetish thing. So she started from that viewpoint. It's a good occasion for all of us to learn and understand how somebody gets from one side to the opposite.
She did a research, read all the mails and viewed the images attached, and came to the conclusion that it must me OK for men wearing pantyhose. (Is that's all? No, I guess she had an interest in the topic and insisted to go over the information she could access.)
Honest advices from a conservative point
She then explains that since women wear pantyhose for sexier legs, they believe that men do it for the same reason - quite suspicious, eh? (Why would men have, anyway, sexy legs? Did you hear anything like that?)
She finally suggests:
- to stop hiding, and start wearing in a visible way. If you hide, it might mean you are wearing it for the fetish.
- To help the ladies get used to the idea by wearing colored tights under shorts.
- That wearing natural color sheer pantyhose under pants equals to hiding which comes in turn as guilt in ladies mind - and why else would you feel guilt if not for being a fetishist...
Finally, she writes that it should be OK for ladies to accept men wearing pantyhose, altough she refers to pantyhose wearing as a "feminine fashion" - which is the opposite of what e-MANcipate thinks about the issue.
I am lucky that we don't have a point system here so I don't have to think about what grade would I give to the article... mixed feelings. But thanks for covering the topic, and thanks for being honest, of course! Comments are welcome!

moi j'ai toujour aimé le port des collants et bas et autres sous-vêtement féminin que je m'approprie sans aucine vergogne.
Ils sont doux , beaux et confortables alors pourquoi s'en priver !
Et zut pour les mal pensants, ceux qui on un balais dans le cul et les autres empêcheurs d'exister en rond.
