I'm just gonna say this, in all honesty:

I just want to be happy and have the occasional choice of really nice stockings with a garterbelt.

Why do I need to argue for this? Why am I not allowed to be like "Why can't men have the stockings?" and just have everyone say "yeah men should have gotten the stockings."

Like all points are just moot in fact that we have enough plain pants, and you can't really tell me you don't have an ulterior motive for arguing against men having one more pair of stockings (and the only pair with garters) in a whole wide world of fashion?

Sure yeah, it's just opinions, but one side wants to be happy and the other side is just like "you can't be happy because of all these subtextual reasons."
