Psychology of wearing leg-ins
Aug 6, '07 12:53 PMfor everyone
Psychology of wearing leg-ins is obscure. They wear a mini-skirt, they don't have to wear tights to hide their legs, yet they do probably because of shame they tend to feel when they wear the mini-skirt. This is, I think, a sign of another movement of women's lib. They are eager to wear the same cloths as man's so that they feel they all are the same as men in appearance as well as the work they usually do.

Now, that is so typically male chauvinistic outlook!Shame? Why? Do you profess to get into the women's minds?My guess would be they are more eager to earn the same pay for the same work .. something that has been denied them. The work the "usually" do? What work is that? 9 to 5 in an office being harassed, then rush home and be the "good little woman" and take care of her man?Unfortunately, there are just too many like you ..

In Denmark, they wear leg-ins because it's freezing cold. They aren't ashamed of their legs in summer.

What? As a female I completely disagree with that. I wear short skirts because I like they way they look. I have no desire to hide my legs. Tights are mostly to make the legs look completely smooth and cover any variations in skin pigmentation. Or if they're colored or opaque tights they can be a fashion accessory. I don't know any women (other than female to male transexuals) that want to have the same appearance in men. As far as being similar in the work that is done, you will find variations across the genders. Weak men or women, strong females or males, people with a strong work ethic, lazy people, etc.

I suppose the mini skirts were connected to women's lib originally, or rather to the "sexual revolution" in the '60es. On the other hand: they wore pretty short skirts in the '20es too.

Actually, back around 1970, you might have had a point. Then we had the "unisex" look which was a kind of statement that the sexes were equal. I think Communist China had something like it even earlier.But leg-ins are not like men's clothes unless you mean Medieval men.
