Women wearing nylons

Do you think women wearing nylons perpetuates sterotypes of women by men? I work in a law firm that requires the employees to wear business attire. I wear a shirt/blouse combination usually (otherwise a dress, never a pants suite) and show off my legs in sheer nylons and high heels. I have had more than one woman in my firm mention that the way I dress perpetuates the sterotypes of women as sex objects by men. I will add, very few women in my first wear skirts, dresses, nylons, or high heels. Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer this poll! Meagan
