e-MANcipate! pantyhose for men article page

Some of the comments about e-MANcipate and the newest trend in male fashion...

'The site claims that pantyhose "improve performance in sports," which should help these stylish dandies sprint away from angry mobs who are not yet ready for the mantyhose movement.' - my absolute favourite article at somethingawful.com. (I love the style and humour of this guy, really.)


In July 2008 we have had an unusually high coverage thanks to Elle Girl's sarcastic article. The article was syndicated, reflexed, mirrored by others and also inspired more articles in the topic. So we collected some of the reader's comments.


"Come on, please make it stop."

"This can not be good for his little spermies."

"Maybe this is a plot to sell more razors."

"Hey, why shouldn't they suffer too?"

"Men in pantyhose? Is absolutely ridiculous! If "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" taught me anything it's that stockings and garter belts are the way to go. It smoothes the leg line and highlights their package. Duh."

"Absolutely horrible! This must be the most unattractive idea I've ever heard of!"

"I don't understand the point of these, really. i mean, you only wear pantyhose with shirts and dresses. otherwise, why would you need tights? this may just be becuase of the fact that i live in new hampshire, but you don't see many guys in skirts or dresses here. unless you see the occasional drag queen. and i think they would be the only ones with a plausible reason to wear these. i don't mean to be offensive, i'm just trying to look at it logically."




"I am a little surprised by this post and all the comments. If people were blogging at the turn of the 19th/20th century, I imagine men would be having a similar conversation about women wearing pants!"

"Personally, I don't like wearing tights myself, but if guys want to wear them, go for it."
