(No word on exactly who is wearing this stuff, but we’ll take Midgley’s word for it.) Midgley points out that wearing pantyhose is “one of the very worst things about being a woman. … [I]f you don’t mind an itchy crackle-fest around your nether regions, then please be my guest. Oh, and don’t expect your tights to be much of a chick-magnet.” We should think not.
