You know the ones, Men wear pants, and women wear dresses. I think that she was forced to react to your love of tights by the incredible pressure of society that dictates men are NOT allowed to wear tights....PERIOD!!! this woman's strong opinion is all to common. Most of the girls I have met will NOT tolerate my tights / ballet fetish. Somehow society lets (or even encourages!!) girls wear pants, work boots and other exclusively male items without fear of riducle. But let us guys (straight, gay or whatever) show a fondness for "Unisex" item like tights and leotards, and it's "stay clear of that pervert!!" When will we be ccepted????? My guess is NEVER!!!!!>>>>>I'm inclined to agree, but I also remember a time when it was UNTHINKABLE for a man to wear....an earring.-Depon >Depon,>I to remember when only pirates (in movies!!) wore ear rings and tattoos. Now every young kid I see is peirced or tattooed. It is so strange how some things are accepted, and other thing will never be accepted. Our best shotfor being accepted was during the aerobics craze of the mid to late 1980's when literally everybody was wrapped up in as much tights, leotards and unitards as possible. But even then men were still not allowed to walk down Main St. USA in a leotard and tights. I guess that our non acceptance makes what we do more erotic. Hey world, IT'S YOUR LOSS!!! >>>Exactly, but I would like it a lot better if I could go out in tights without getting my ass whupped by some insecure sport-nut. The best time was the early-to-mid 80's (when punk was really chargin' along). You'd often see guys wearing cutoffs and fishnets, or plaid tights. And don't get me started on the girls!-Depon Answers to this message: |
