Is it because the wearer feels like she's getting spanked? Or wearing them might encourage someone to want to spank her?
I saw them for sale last time I strayed into Filene's, and I've heard people talk about them, and I think they're approximately the same thing as what my mother's generation called a girdle.
My first reaction, and the one that sticks: I can't sign on for a line of clothing that suggests physical violence, when I live in a society in which violence against women is so pervasive.
But hey, I checked out the website, and there's a category of "Spanx for Men." Does that somehow make it okay?

Hmm. And I always thought it was a contraction for spandex. And yes, it IS a girdle by any other name. Yuck.
