L'eggs Discriminates Against Men

It is 2014, and men have been wearing hosiery publically for probably almost 20 years, if not more. I think the first few discussions appeared on the web in around 1995, give or take a couple of years. In that time, we have made a lot of achievements. We have talked about it. We have shared it with our friends and family. We shown photos. We have made our views known to the companies in a very dignified and polite manner. We have made an effort to distance ourselves from fetishes. We have bought hosiery. We have encouraged women to buy hosiery. We even sell hosiery! Some of us have tried to accommodate women and their concerns, even when there should be nothing to be concerned about.

Despite all the support that men give to L'eggs, L'eggs still insists on preventing men from entering L'eggs contests.

There are so many men that could benefit from winning these contests. Let us discuss a couple of types.

A type of man that could benefit from winning this contest might be a single father, who has a daughter that could use hosiery for school. Currently children are not allowed to enter all contests. Ideally, the father could enter on the child's behalf. Many companies make opportunities to connect with the community by helping others, but L'eggs sees it as a cost and as something that ruins their reputation. In other words, L'eggs sees helping single fathers with daughters as bad.

Contrast L'eggs attitude and actions with WestJet.

For some context, see WestJet vice-president Richard Bartrem explain why they did what they did.

This is probably the first time a big corporation, and especially an airline, did something like this for Christmas. In that sense, it is unusual, but there is nothing unusual in the sense that people want to be generous at times, and they care about others. People are not always like that, but they can be like that often. It is not unusual in general. It is just unusual in this type of circumstance.

L'eggs should be helpful and kind like WestJet.

Another type of man that could benefit from winning this contest might be a man, who needs that leg support. L'eggs could look at this as an opportunity to develop a new niche market, but they would rather keep that market away. Most companies argue to the death that their products work. If that is the case, then is L'eggs saying that their products do not work on men?

So, there are single fathers, and men in need of leg support. On top of that, there are hosiery reviewers and bloggers, and there are men who wear for warmth. What about men who buy gifts for their wives? Does L'eggs want to influence purchasers?

The thing is that L'eggs does not have to invest in a campaign targeted only at men. A campaign targeted only at men would cost a lot, and probably not bring in a worth while return of investment. However, if L'eggs includes men, then they will no doubt cultivate that community at no extra cost, which brings a greater return of investment.

Contrast L'eggs attitude and actions with Silks Hosiery's attitude and actions: Have you liked our Facebook page yet? You'll automatically win a pair of Black Iris tights! [only open to Canadian residents]. We can see that they are open to men, but they are also closed to those outside of Canada. I do not think that many will complain about L'eggs only being open to the US or above a certain age group. Many contests are like that. That is okay. Most contests do not prevent men from entering.

In summary of all that I have written so far: L'eggs has the right to limit their contests to a certain place and a certain age group, since this is normal, but they really ought to try to be as good as other companies or better. L'eggs could knock out some competition, by portraying the brand as accommodating and supportive of others. Keeping others out does not send that message.

How do we apply this? I think that the time has come that we avoid buying their products, and discourage all people from buying their products.

Obviously, I recommend buying Silks instead, since they have proven themselves as nice and kind, and since I sell the brand, but I am confident that there are other brands out there. Please share with me your favourite brands that like men.

Man In Tights In Cuba

We seem to be making progress. Fantasy Stockings showed me this photo, which I assumed that she took. It is good news for us, because it shows that we are making progress.

I do not know anything about these guys or these looks or these outfits, but they seem to come across as being normal and not gay. I suppose that small bag might be considered effeminate, but other than that, the outfits seem okay.

If you are this person, then please feel free to introduce yourself!

Alexandra Richards Models Voodoo Hosiery

Several months ago, Alexandra Richards, who is a model, and who is the daughter of Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, modelled Voodoo hosiery for the Voodoo special event. This was in Sydney, NSW, Australia.

On 1 of my web browsers, 2 of the models appear to be wearing 2 pairs of hosiery at once. Do think that they are? Leave your answer in the comments below.

If you like this photo, then browse through more photos of the event.

Update

I think that I will try blogging again. I will post mostly news that I find on the web, and try to add a few comments.

a Wikimedia photo

Lately, I have been devoting a lot of attention to healing the skin on my right thumb.

Last year, I worked in a plastic bag factory, and it caused havoc on my skin. I do not quite understand how it did, but it did. The thumb print almost wore off.

a Wikimedia photo

To get it to heal, I have been as gentle with it as possible. I have also devoted a lot attention to keeping it moisturized with petroleum jelly.

In the last week or so, the finger print has finally begun to look complete. Before, you could still see the finger print, if you hold it up to the light, but you really had to look for it. Now, you can see the finger print in almost any light.

Unfortunately, eczema has started to appear on the thumb. It is a small problem compared to what I suffered.

This is so meaningful to me, because not having a thumb print means that it is hard to feel the sensuous feeling of hosiery. Finger prints actually allow us to distinguish the difference between different sensations.

I believe that hosiery is for the eyes and the hands. So, it is really important to keep our hands in good condition.

Sara Jessica Parker Wears Hosiery

I was a bit suprirsed to read her mentioning a piece of cardboard from tights or pantyhose, but it seems that Sara Jessica Parker really does wear hosiery [see Google Images, too]. An article even mentioned her wearing tights.

Museum Gave Away Nylon Products

They even gave away the first seamless stockings. I thought that that was kind of neat.

This museum put on an exhibit about the invention of nylon, and the progress that they made in hosiery and fashion. For souvenirs, they gave away the first nylon fibres and other niffty things.

I wonder what the first stocking looked like. Perhaps they looked like dollar store hosiery, because everything was new, and therefore low quality. I doubt it. They probably looked quite nice.

If I got a free pair of hosiery that old, then I would be tempted to wear it, because I want to konw what the women felt. Would you wear it or save it?

Use Caution When Wearing Shapewear Like Spanx

They compress your organs and can create bad posture. Shapewear is usually made for style and not health.

Malaysian Digest Has a nice article about it.

Raiders Cheerleaders Have To Pay For Pantyhose

This is so sad. I consider pantyhose for cheerleaders to be part of the uniform, and therefore, they should not be required to pay for them with their own pay cheques. It would be like paying for their own uniforms, and the boss profiting from it. Just because the boss does not profit from it, it does not make it fair.

If the cheerleaders were paid as much as the athletes, then it is more appropriate for them to pay for their own pantyhose, since it is consumable and since they can afford it, and since they need to try to be careful with them.

I am willing to sell them hosiery at cost, while they sort out their problems. If anybody can put me in touch with the cheerleaders, then please do. Before I make any commitments, I would need to confirm with them that I can actually get the brand-style-colour-size combinations that they need. Please pass this blog post on to your friends. Eventually, it will reach the cheerleaders.

I all ready checked the raiders site, and I do not see any way of getting in touch with them directly. I have a feeling that any messages that I send will get filtered out by the people in charge. Also, there are so many official sponsors that I do not know if my store is big enough to become an official sponsor.
