I consider myself pretty progressive, but I don’t think I am progressive enough to handle mantyhose – pantyhose for men. It’s totally for real.

First I wondered, “why in the world would men want to wear tights?” but as the website clearly explains, pantyhose are not gender specific clothes and they have some health benefits (improves circulation) and sometimes it just happens. Now I don’t personally know any men who have tried on pantyhose for fun and enjoyed it so much that they wanted to go out and buy a pair of their own, but hey, to each his own. And I can’t forget, they are fashionable.
E-mancipate is a movement for acceptance for male pantyhose. Who am I to stand in the way of the movement. They even have a book.
So ladies, thoughts? You gonna get your boo some mantyhose for the holidays. You can get them here.
peace,

WHY GOD WHYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
miko i just don’t know. but they are for real. but i must admit, some of the tights are cute.
Haha. You have to be special kind of man to be able to rock the tights, just like you have to be a special kind of lady to rock high heels on the daily. Meaning, I gotta support it, although I must admit I didn’t see this one coming, lol.
You gotta admit, the shorts with the tights… through in a scarf and you’ve got Fall fashion =)
Maybe I can support the mantyhose for practical purposes. Wearing hose underneath pants can certainly help when the cold is cutting through your skin.
Seriously as a woman I hate to wear the damn things. I just don’t wear skirts and dresses in the winter to avoid them altogether. I cannot see why men would want a pair when women are running around bare legged as much as possible.
