This is my first post here. I have participated in FDS on Reddit (though not extensively) as another name, but I thought I'd do something different. I saw some article on this news app, and I was offended by the comments. The comments were almost in unanimous agreement about how "bad" it was for women to show their bare legs even when they wore CASUAL dresses in a NONWORK environment - it was if any "imperfections" in a woman's legs was not proper to be seen in public. I was so livid on this. I don't give a f'n damn about my bare legs unless the office policy said something, but if I'm in a f'n grocery store, doctor's office, heck even in church if the temperature is hot enough, I'm not wearing f'n pantyhose because the men (who probably already watch porn) can't stand the sight of a natural leg. Gee, do they make their wives wear pantyhose during sex or something?

Why aren’t the men wearing corsets to bring in those infamous beer belly’s, or hell even bralettes to deal with their ever increasing man boobs?
Imperfections meaning perfectly normal legs that were not airbrushed to unreality. I'm lucky. I've been in healthcare long enough and changed at the beach so many times that I have no shame left. But I'm still mad that I was made to feel shame in the first place
A pantyhose is a torture device. You can't fucking breathe. I refuse to wear it.
Women very rarely wear stockings or pantyhose if dressed casually in my country
Bare legs are beautiful, nothing to be ashamed of
I wear stockings with my skirt suits to work, but I wear the non control top, cheap ones that are made in America and come in boxes of 3 or 4. I like the way stockings make my clothes hang and glide instead of sticking to my flesh. I also love that they keep my shoes from getting stinky. In the summer when I back off of the stockings because it's hot outside, my shoes can start smelling pretty bad. So that's why I wear them. In summer, I'll wear these "shorts" that are made from lycra to wick the sweat away from my nice skirts and then footies in my shoes to keep the sweat from going into them and making them smell. To me, underwear and stockings are there to make you look more put together and to protect your clothes and shoes. And in winter, tights are great. They add an extra layer of warmth without adding bulk to your outfit.
Yes it was really that bad. I gave up on panty hose Sooner than most because they got so cheaply made & I was too broke to have them only last for 1 wear. I quit wearing dresses as often as a result then a whole chain reaction happened .
Huh, what difference does pantyhose actually make? It might at most hide leg hair, but then by that logic we should shave off the hair on our heads since it's the exact same thing.... I think. Maybe. Don't quote me on this.
