Transgender cat
I've removed the transgender cat, since this article seems to have almost nothing to do with Transgender. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 19:50, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Original research
While the "punishment" aspect seems to be documented well enough, almost none of the references dealing with the fetish/eroticism aspect are properly cited. For example, most do not fit the criteria for a reliable source (those involving the "Petticoat Discipline Quarterly" website). In another example - "Classics in the History of Psychology" - I don't see those claims made anywhere in that citation (please correct me if I'm wrong). The literary citations and the "The ambiguous politics of petticoating" citation at most note that the phenomena exists, but make no mention of the other various claims. The Peter Farrer stuff does not support the various claims either (at least from the information available from the citation links) and even if they did, it seems unlikely they would meet the criteria for a reliable source (please see No_original_research, specifically the Sources section, and Verifiability if you're wondering what I'm talking about).

Based on the existing references, the only parts of the article that are currently supported are (arguably): the first sentence of the 1st paragraph, the first sentence of the 2nd paragraph, the "Political incorrectness" section, and the "Literary accounts" section.

(As a side note, it seems the article blurs the punishment phenomenon and the sexual phenomenon; they maybe should be 2 separate articles.) So unless anyone says otherwise, I'll give it a change soon. Thanks for hearing me out. Xarmy of meX (talk) 07:22, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Merge into Feminization (activity)
We should now take the opportunity to merge this article into Feminization (activity), thus eliminating a redundant hyper-specialized article which covers a topic that can be dealt with in no more than a paragraph in that article. -- The Anome (talk) 13:19, 28 January 2017 (UTC)


 * This is six years late but I agree that this article should be merged.Computer-ergonomics (talk) 15:32, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

This is not a good article title
"Pinafore eroticism"? The phrase can't be found in a Google Books search and doesn't seem common at all. I thought it was usually called "petticoating". Equinox ◑ 23:48, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Pinafore eroticism → Petticoating – The usual name for this practice appears to be "petticoating" or "petticoat punishment". Search Google Books and you will find basically nothing for the phrase "pinafore eroticism", which seems to have been invented by Wikipedia. Equinox ◑ 12:47, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
