When I saw them for first time, my sister's ones, they looked as shackles.
Your Mom's Thigh Bands
Maija thighbands aren't restraints
Maybe. Thighbands a lot look like and what it does is basically restricting the movement so I guess it falls under restraints. However on the other hand it also prevents wearer from trying to cheat the belt, so...
Maija They are simply something that a proper lady must wear
If I get to wear thighbands I guess it would help me understand proper behavior so my behavior will help me "pass", but many of my hobbies especially cosplay stops me from wearing it. (Like most of characters I cosplay tend to have short skirts...)
Maija but so do mini skirts and high heels
I tend to prefer long skirts, maybe because I just prefer something look modest. I generally don't like high level of exposures.
Maija I consider thighbands with a chain essential, and wouldn't not wear them even if given the chance.
Would you be keep wearing it after you get married?
Ines Yes.. but she is a girl too.
Ever considered that your set of values (all girls equal, men different set of rules) does not automatically apply to the rest of the world? In many relationships who is dominant and who submits to that autority is not determined automatically by gender but based on the individual preferences of the 2 people involved - and it might well turn out that the dynamics are exactly reversed from what you know and prefer.
And with gay relationships there is obviously no automatism based on gender possible but it is always determined by what both sides like.

please, @Ines has her values, i have mine and you have yours. we shouldn't play them off against each other. we live in a society where women have more opportunities than ever before, but that doesn't mean that women always have to use them. some women want to be protected or controlled by their men. be respectful and accept different ways of life.
Exactly my point.
I do not understand why she always feels compelled to push her preferences into a discussion which is not about herself or her relationship. If I know my opinion deviates from what the wider society considers "normal", I fight for my right to live according to my values but I do not try to push these values onto everyone else.
And thatΒ΄s is why I put forward that question to her, because I wanted to point that out.
