  If a guy wants to wear them, for whatever reason, awesome! I see nothing wrong with it. What kind of annoys me is the name "mantyhose" to distinguish it from woman's wear. Why not just redefine the object as gender neutral? I get that it's insulting to be called something that your not. I get insulted when people say I'm trying to be a guy by being a feminist. However, more often than not a man being called a woman is considered insulting to a man more because of the false associations women are painted with; Weakness, frailty, pink, over-emotional, princess, gold-digger, etc. It would be nice to hear a guy say "I'm doing this because as a man, I like it." or just acknowledge that some things that are traditionally feminine are fun, and there's nothing wrong with it. I don't lift weights and call it "ladylifting" to distinguish it from men.
