Lol. Funny topic.
This movie was the first thing I thought of with this topic. Lol. Part of the reason it's funny is these guys were supposed to be tough outlaws, but prancing around like sissies in tights - kind of the opposite image of that which they were supposed to be conveying.
Yeah, I agree! I laughed when I first saw it.
Exactly. My view is tights really emphasize the body shape. On a well-formed female figure, this is beautiful. However, even on a well-formed male figure, not - I think the male body is designed for functionality rather than aesthetic appeal. Tights on males end up comical at best - attempting to convey aesthetic appeal, but resulting in a failure due to the male shape. Even if the specifically male features are hidden, it just becomes comical, as why else to wear tights if not to accentuate the body shape?
Yes! Even without loss of control, I think it's still unpleasant. I'm obviously biased, but when I've watched male ballerinas in tights, it detracts from the performance. The smooth aerodynamic shape of the women focuses the observer on the dance itself, but with the male, the focus is too often interrupted by the encumbering male features - too many such interruptions, and realising the cause of these makes for somewhat awkward comedy.
Yes. I agree. However, bikinis were once viewed in the same way. This said, I think most would agree that a bikini on a well-formed female looks nice (even if too revealing, for which I believe there are valid arguments). I don't think the same could ever be said for a similar item of clothing worn by a well-formed man - it would just be repulsive.

I attended a Christmas concert this past year at my sister's church. One of the performers was a worship pastor. He came onto the platform wearing stretchy skinny pants. It looked terrible. He is a bigger man and those pants showed everything that he has. I had a hard time to concentrate on the song that he was singing. It was such a distraction. Women tend to wear things that are not appropriate in public as well. So, it's not really a gender issue. It's more of a poor taste in fashion issue.

Yeah, some guys stress a lot how they like for women to wear tight clothes but it doesn't look good on a man. Well... It doesn't look very good on women either. It's a big distraction regardless of gender. Nobody needs to see that.
And if a person thinks "Yes I do want to see that" is that the kind of person you really want to cater to?

yeah, make the standards roughly the same for each gender, I wonder if part of the reason tights are a no-no today might be simply that modern tights can be worn exactly like pants with a regular length shirt, showing one's but and upper thighs, wereas in the middle ages it was normal to be worn with a tunic that at least covered the upper portion of the thigh and above? That and people aren't used to seeing men wearing such things?
