Given the example of white_panties and white_briefs, I wonder whether we should not just redefine *_panties to include mens' underwear. (I looked at the ~3 images in each of plaid_briefs and plaid_boxers as a randomly-chosen example and was not at all convinced that they would be out of place in plaid_panties -- one image even had both tags, and was tagged as a female character!)

No one is ever going to agree to that because no one searching something like white_panties solo is going to want to see dudes wearing briefs in their searches. You're just forcing people to add -briefs to their searches at that point. They're separate for a reason, despite any similarities they may have.

It wasn't clear from the orignal post whether there were technical reasons that prevented you from choosing _underwear over _underpants?

Because bras are underwear too. Lumping all lower body undergarments, whether male, female, panty, or boxer, under one umbrella is bad enough, adding bras and corsets too is just ensuring these tags cease all usefulness.
