Men in Tights

geschrieben von David  am 01.07. um 23:36:20
I say this because there seems to be so much disapproval of any guy who would wear tights. There seemed to be a period when tights on men seemed tobecoming mainstream.  I remember wearing tights for all sort of aerobic andathletic pursuits such as mountain biking, crosscountry skiing & rollerblading,long distance running and of course dance aerobics.  But somehow someway thingshave seemed to have gone backwards as far as social acceptance of men with great bodies displaying them in tights.

For instance I remember early in the popularity of figure skating, that all of the male figure skaters were wearing tights. But I believe the figure skatingassociation actually BANNED them around 1992.  It seems that all that displayof male curves and musculature was putting off the middle class women who are the primary viewers of figure skating.  

Now in the late 90's we have taken a full reversal of the idea of tights on menand it seems only for BALLET dancers.  Women continue to wear tights everywhere..including shopping malls and grocery stores.  But men are now limited to Ballet dancers just like in the 50's.  

I believe it has to do with a form of sexual repression of males...it is no longeracceptable for men with excellent bodies to display them in form fitting clothingsuch as tights or leotards.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this ?
