Apparently a new craze is sweeping the nation: “mantyhose.” Interesting blog post about this relatively new group of products that advertise support for men:

We though we should blog about this for a couple reasons. First, how often do you get to type “mantyhose”? (That’s twice now for me). Second, how interesting that men are now being subjected to the same sort of conforming undergarments that women have been wearing for years to change their shape.
And then, of course, there’s the whole aspect touched on in this post about the need to de-feminize certain things in order to make them more palatable to men.
What are your thoughts on this?
