Talk:Anklet

message: I've removed the external links as they both went to commercial sites selling anklets.
Also, unless someone can provide a citation for the 'Sexual connotation' section, it really needs to be removed.
:There are various references, some commercial, some non-commercial that refer to the use of an anklet as one method used to identify women involved in the hot wife lifestyle.  There seems to be no concensus on wither or not it is worn on the left or right ankle.  In fact, it seems from the various photos available on the web, that they can be worn on either ankle.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Markabell (talk • contribs) 02:12, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, if the those references you reference could Wikiprove said usage, that would be a good addition.  As of now, that portion has been tagged since 9/2007. 66.191.19.217 (talk) 20:12, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A quick google search did turn up quite a bit of references to anklets being part of the sexual subculture referenced.  However, nothing I would consider a valid source.  If something could be found, it would be a valuable addition considering that it would be part of a cultural phenomenon. 66.191.19.68 (talk) 21:52, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Is/was there a cultural conotation (at least in the late 1980s-early 1990s) that wearing an anklet is/was a way for the wearer to identify themselves as being into the sexual fetish of Bondage?

replies: text: This sounds like a similar claim to the one that women who have a tattoo on the small of their back (a.k.a. "arse antlers") are willing to engage in anal intercourse, if not actively seeking the same. Both in terms of the absurd generalisation, and a soupçon of wishful thinking on the part of the proponents. The reality of that urban myth is that many tattooed women aren't and would be greatly offended by a request for it, whereas some non-tattooed women would willingly consent. Surely the wearing of anklets should be seen in the same way. Wearing anklets to be seen by others, is only of any use if the anklets can be seen. Which would be fine in a swingers club or other similar indoor environment - where, in any event, there is a high probability that any ladies present are "up for it". However, outside these very specific environments, how many women will wear suitable footwear (ideally without socks or stockings), that allow the display of anklets? And for how many weeks of the year is this possible or comfortable in the UK, given the typical weather?  A more pertinent question, is whether those men who would take an interest in these signs, are going to be looking at a woman's ankles, or elsewhere? Yes I AM a sceptic as far as this claim is concerned, and make no apologies for this stance. 87.115.204.205 (talk) 22:03, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

message: No reference has been provided for this paragraph:
"Some of the anklets were heavy and difficult to walk in. The woman was reminded she was in chains and her husband her owner."
It appears to me to be written by some constipated feminist. Please add a source or remove it.

message: I feel like the section titled "Left or Right?" could me merged into another with no loss, seeing as it's only one sentence, and the title it a bit ridiculous.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CE18:4440:B87C:E2B5:FEE4:5FFD (talk) 18:41, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
