What men were waiting for? Pantyhose from France
Agence France Press ^ | 8 February 2007 | Staff

Posted on 02/10/2007 3:45:44 PM PST by RKV

One of France's leading hosiery makers is launching a new line for men next month -- pantyhose with a welcome front opening and big feet, available in thick mannish knit but also as sheer tights.

Gerbe, which is based in eastern France, said this week that the country's first hosiery line for men would go on sale in March "due to increasing demand from male clients."

The pantyhose comes with a larger belt than for women as well as an opening, with "Men opaque", "sheer" or "satin" available in four models of tights, with and without feet, and three models of feel-good knee-high hosiery made to help drain toxins and massage tired limbs.

Internet users on a French fashion messaging board, www.ctendance.com/forum2, responded with a touch of scepticism. "Why create pantyhose for men when women's tights are fine?" said one. Tights are unisex," said another, "except that women's are always softer."

At the risk of offending GLAAD, what a bunch of homos!

Maybe they'll be able to run faster during retreats?

Tights are very warm. I don't see much difference in this than microfiber long underwear for men.

They have already retreated...from any sense of masculinity. They should start wearing bras, dresses, and high heels and get it over-with.

Not much surprises me now adays, but this came out of nowhere. I can't believe this!!! Wow! We are really going to be one sex someday. That is a frightening thought. I am seriously interested in seeing what a 2060 World looks like. I would be 90/91 years old so I won't see it most likely but what we would find could be interesting and scary...

I guess the difference from my point of view is what you wear that is visible. I used to wear a cup and a jock when I played football, but wearing them on the outside was, well, just not done.

Methinks France is lost, or soon will be, and an Imam will rule there one day under Sharia law.

[Yes, all this because of male pantyhose, low birthrates, no warrior culture, etc.]
