Catholic school girls! How terribly American. I thought we were trying to make Wiki much more international. Knee-high stockings (or socks) were and are worn by many nationalities, usually by females up to the point in secondary (high) school when peer-pressure causes a more "grown-up" dress code. In many forms of national dress knee-high socks are a fundamental part. Furthermore, knee-high socks are worn by males also - traditionally most school boys wore short trousers with knee high knitted socks. The presentation of a boys first pair of long-legged-trousers was seen as a sign of growing maturity. So can we please have this article rewriten to remove the Americanisation and the subliminal sexualisation that only female clothing is being described. rturus (talk) 16:54, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Nylons vs. Socks
It appears as though this article is describing knee high nylons, with the statement: "They are generally made of nylon or other pantyhose material."
Later in the article it seems as though the article is describing knee high socks, with the statement: "They also keep legs warm in the winter months and are very comfortable to wear."
Are we describing both in one article? Seems like two different topics.
Also, "comfortable to wear" seems like a biased opinion and feels unnecessary and “…and are becoming more popular...” might need to site a reference.
I’m a newb, btw, so please let me know if any of this is out of line.
