There's no doubt that we men like to look at
women's underwear. Especially when they're wearing it. As you may remember from
my last blog this isn't the case with females. To paraphrase it using an
example, if a female bends over exposing her crack and panties, well we guys
might walk into a lamp post so distracted by the view.
On the other hand, if a
guy were to do the same thing the female response would be to scrunch up the
nose and let out a biting "ewwwwwww."
Well, Unless the guy was Justin
Timberlake.
It's a vision thing.
However, I don't want to go into that again.
Instead I want to bring up another big difference between men and women as it
relates to “undies.”
If I were to wander into the underwear
section in the ladies department of the local Target, not only would I be
followed by security, but I'd probably wind up on YouTube as the most recent
pervert caught on camera. Just imagine the reaction if I picked up a pair of
lace panties and held them up at eye level, twirled around to view them in a
different light and then held them out straight in front of me as if holding
them up to an imaginary friend. My
guess is that I'd be tackled by some overweight store cop and hauled down to
central booking.
Of course, if you replace me with a
middle-aged female and put her in the men's department, you'd get a collective
yawn from everyone in the vicinity. In fact the very actions I described above
are so common by females that I'll bet you have the image burned in your memory
as a common occurrence to ignore as you wander the aisles.
But why? Why is a guy in the female section an alarming situation
while a female in the male section a yawner?
It is obviously sexism. Oh, I'm sure you are
saying to yourself that the guy in that situation was just a “perv” while the female
was undoubtedly a wife shopping for her man. But isn't that the very definition
of sexism? That one sex can only be viewed in one light (ie a woman can only be
a secretary)?
For all you know the guy was the one buying
for his mate while the female was planning on keeping her purchase handily
stashed under her pillow. But you
can't picture that, at least, not unless you are given that explanation.
So to prove you aren't a sexist pig, the next
time you are in Target and you see a woman fondling some men's briefs, promise
me you'll give her a disgusted scowl and mumble (rather loudly) under your
breath, “lousy
pervert!”
From all men who like to look at women's underwear: Thank you Victoria's Secret!
