It seems they really do
make everything in China. And by everything we mean "hair stockings."
Which aren't actually stockings for your hair as the name
implies. Oh no. No, hair stockings
are much, much more...European.
Who needs pepper spray
when women could just wear hair
stockings to ward off would-be attackers? shudder.
Well, sure, if by
"super sexy" the women wearing these plan to attract Bigfoot at the
bar. And hosiery? In the
summertime? Nope.
So, are these a joke or
are they serious? A little of both? We're not sure.
Rape is often about power
and not desire or attraction, so will a rapist really care about a woman who
has the legs of an incredibly hairy man? Maybe. But probably not.
And the idea that a woman
should have to make herself appear less attractive to ward off
would-be rapists is part of the culture of victim blaming, so surely that's not
the statement these hair stockings are trying to make.
Hopefully, these are meant
as one seriously bizarre Asian fashion trend. And like any bad trend, these
will probably die hard. Probably. We hope.
Fingers crossed that hair
stockings don't end up on the runways at the next Fashion Week, am
right? Not even Gucci could make this work.
