The only things i can possibly find that I could say I don't like rather than hate about stocking wearers are the following: * Non-painted toe nails under Gorgeous Stockings * Women with hard skin on heels or calluses on feet * Stocking wearers that wear them waaay too short * Overly-wrinkled stockings i.e. not pulled up properly with an appropriate suspender belt * When she takes them straight off and throws on a pair of joggies after we come in from an evening out! Grrrrr and one thing I could actually say I hate are Opaques.. cannot see the point in them other than keeping warm.. no skin contrast so a complete turn-off for me.. If I think of any more I'll let you know..

You're a fussy sod, aren't you!

Not all of us have time or energy to cultivate the perfect appearance.

And after a hard day at work, I usually like to relax and throw off my stockings with joggies.....

I'm glad I don't know you, personally. You'd probably drive me mad.



My personal pet hate is men who seem to think that women are put on this earth to satisfy mens little daft foibles!

We're not!

Mich, I am so glad to have you here on the forums. It's refreshing to have another woman who will not give in to the blatant misogyny that plagues these boards at times. Of course, there are some other wonderful people here for whom the feminist revolution did happen, and I am grateful for them too. Back to the original post: What do I hate about stockings? I hate men who cease to see the woman inside them! EL

misogyny: hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women.

I don't hate women. Nor do I care what women other than my own wife! do with their stockings, feet etc.

And no she's not kept chained to the bed in stockings and 6" heels 24/7 either.

I think some of the people on here do take these posts far too seriously.



P.s. If there's anything not clear in this post, please feel free to read my last one.

Actually there is a difference between a woman asking her mate to wear a tie and a man asking his mate to wear stockings. When a woman asks her man to wear a tie, it is usually for a formal dinner or whatnot and is simply for properness' sake. When a man asks a woman to wear stockings, there will always be a bit of sexual overtone involved. I dont think there is anything wrong with wearing lingerie or stockings or even a bear suit if it titillates your sig. other. However, it would be nice if our mate saw us as attractive and sexual without the aid of these things. I also think that as long as your mate is affectionate, you shouldn't feel too let down if they dont take your hints to wear certain items. you're right. It is give and take. Often a woman will ask her husband to dress presentably for his sake as well as hers. Presentation has quite a bit to do with how one is treated. But, if a woman is presentable in her everyday life not wearing stockings, why is it such a big deal if she asks her husband to dress presentably? Stockings don't have much to do with presentability, nor do they really affect how other see you as most people cant tell the dif between stockings and tights. Many women on this forum love wearing stockings for the sake of wearing stockings. For myself, I like the way they look and they way they feel. My bf likes them too but he really doesnt care much what i wear .......Usually he cares more about what i dont wear I amongst others dont wear stockings to be ogled by others and we certainly dont wear it to be fetishized. One of the main reasons i believe women refuse to wear stockings is because it makes her feel like a blow up doll. We are on this forum because we like stockings and we like discussing various products and tips. Why should we not be on this forum simply because we dont believe that men should only want women in stockings. There are millions and millions of women out there who are very beautiful, whose beauty and attractiveness is not in the least diminished by the lack of stockings. Why don't most of the men on this forum agree with this?

Actually, you may find it hard to believe, but I disagree with the proposition that every time a man asks a woman to wear stockings, or simply expresses a preference, there is always "a sexual overtone involved". That answer, with respect, repeats the narrow-mindedness of some of the other replies on this thread! I'm not going to jump on an anti-feminist bandwagon, but I resent the underlying thesis that everything to do with stockings is sexual. That is just as stereotypical of men as a man saying that every blonde is a bimbo.

Your opinion that there are many women whose beauty is not diminished by lack of stockings is as subjective as an assertion that no woman is beautiful without stockings. That really is not the point. But your expectation that on THIS, of all forums, men should agree with your view is naive to say the least!

That is rather like a vegetarian on a meat-eaters' forum questioning why there aren't more vegetarians on the forum!

M.M.
