To think scrunch bum leggings look fucking shit

As a small point of fact, as stupid as the leggings look, they don't go up your crack. The ruching is all on the outside.

I enjoy masturbating. Sex is fun when I can find a man who is remotely competent in bed, which is becoming increasingly rare these days.

It was two rapes that I was less keen on.

Women don't need male attention to thrive. That's a really unhealthy emotional dependancy to encourage there. Who in their right mind encourages women to rely upon men for their self-esteem?

So, how come women are conditioned to "get joy" out of putting crap on their faces every day and men aren't? And it is conditioning: in other parts of the world we see both sexes in makeup for ceremonies but not worn daily, both sexes wearing kohl, etc.

Who benefits from women putting crap on their faces? And how many really enjoy it versus being scared or ashamed to be seen in public without it? And how come some women resist the conditioning and don't wear it anyway?

No, but they’re behind skincare and make up routines that take hours of women’s lives each week, not to mention hundreds of pounds out of their bank accounts each month.

Men aren’t spending hundreds of pounds and dozens of hours on skincare and make up each month therefore…. patriarchy again?

Or is it simply entrepreneurial women like Trinny Woodall and Huda Kattan making products that enable women to do something they get joy out of?

Are they designing clothes that hurt or restrict movement though? When women design clothes, they design dresses with pockets, not hobble skirts.

I don't see Trinny peddling leggings that are designed to go up your butt crack either.

You’re wrong. Most aesthetic doctors are women. Plastic surgeons (of which over a third are female anyway) do not only work in cosmetic surgery. Practitioners of Botox, fillers etc. are not surgeons, and the majority of them are women.

The Beauty industry is completely dominated by women. Take some of the biggest beauty brands to launch in the last few years: Charlotte Tilbury, Trinny Woodall, Fenty Beauty, Kylie Cosmetics, Huda Beauty, Pat McGrath, Victoria Beckham - all have female founders.

It is completely batshit to suggest that men dominate the fashion and beauty industry in 2023 and are somehow forcing women to spend time and money on their looks.

Some look even worse at the front!
Really tacky

no matter the fact that someone would have to pay me a lot of money for me to even try on a pair of such ugly, uncomfortable and unhygienic leggings.... women should be free to wear what they want. of course societal conditioning may result in women participating in their own exploitation/oppression and the only way to avoid that is to stop judging each other and bring up our daughters and sons to be free thinkers who see through the social conditioning and make true independent choices.

😂😂😂

They're ridiculous but they're just a crap trend, not the collapse of society. There have always been sexualised fashions aimed at young women and some people will like them.

Leave them, ignore them, the trend will pass and everyone will be laughing at them in a few years.

What she said.

I see Clarkson's managed to re-register again.

I've said on a previous thread that I don't think they're a coincidence considering the huge proliferation of anal sex in porn and it's subsequent normalisation in people's sex lives.

most fashion designers, clothes makers, make-up artists, beauty entrepreneurs, aesthetic doctors, beauty & fashion marketing executives, fashion magazine editors are women.

This is 100% not true. Most cosmetic surgeons etc are men. Head designers at a few big clothing names:

Dior - gianfranco ferre (m)
Lv - nicholas ghesquiere (m)
Burberry - daniel lee (m)
Prada - miuccia prada (f)
Chanel - virginie viard (f)
Ralph lauren (m)
Nike - john hoke iii (m)

A huge amount is dominated by men

I do not understand why anyone would want a snug chafing seam directly up their arse crack

Pretty sure women do not come up with these designs. You don't see men wearing them.

I'm still trying to get round the thought that someone actually believes that the fashion industry, magazines, cosmetic houses etc are dominated by……women.

Men:

• Karl Lagerfeld
• Alexander McQueen
• Manolo Blahnik
• Christian Dior

Many of whom design(ed) painful, impractical, and uncomfortable clothes and shoes.

Women:

• Coco Chanel
• Mary Quant

Who designed things like women's suiting and comfortable, if short, dresses.

It's the difference between seeing clothing as a covering for a human and seeing clothing as artistic expression and the woman as an object that is part of the artist's media.

😂

Yes, balloons make sense. What does it say about me that Tony Harrison sprung to mind first?

I didn't know what they were called until I saw this thread but there was a young woman in the gym wearing a pair of flesh/pink coloured ones last week. Everyone who came in did a double take.

She didn't do much in the way of exercise but spent half an hour getting the right selfie trying to get backside pushed out and pouty lips in exactly the right position but the gym equipment in the background. You could tell she thought she was the bees knees by the tossing of the head and flicking of the hair. To be fair she had an amazing figure but when she walked away her bum looked like two plates of pink blanchmange during an earthquake. As she walked across the car park the comments coming from the guys in the weights area were something else (but very funny I'm ashamed to admit).

I thought those leggings were supposed to give you support? These certainly didn't, unless you were standing posing.

I like them, they are comfy and make me feel confident after having a baby and losing my arse ! Each to their own 😀

Absolutely! The boys/men must think all their Christmases have come at once.

I’m still trying to get round the thought that someone actually believes that the fashion industry, magazines, cosmetic houses etc are dominated by……women. ( I nearly wrote men there, my incredulity seeping through to my fingertips).

That has not been my experience, either observed or IRL. I think :

Men like to control how women present in public. In some cultures, they like to enforce ‘modesty’ , so women have to cover certain parts of their anatomy, at the extreme they cannot go outside their home without being covered from head to foot in a concealing garment, sometimes even the face is totally covered and there is only a small slit for navigation.

The brief period of ‘equality’ which some women strove to achieve has meant that women in some cultures have the ‘right’ to dress ‘ as they choose’ . So those societies have persuaded women that the ‘best ‘ way to utilise that choice is by increasingly revealing and sexualised clothing. Because for both societies, women are sexual objects, to use or preserve without reference to their wishes.

I was queuing in a shop recently behind a young woman and her DP & small children. She was extremely overweight and was wearing a pair of those tiny shorts that don't really cover one's arse cheeks.
I tried desperately to avert my eyes but I couldn't stop staring in horrified fascination. It was like I was frozen to the spot 🤣

I’ve only ever seen one or two people in the gym wear them, never in the wild and the couple that I’ve seen in the gym probably had lovely bottoms without these.
Nobody really cares, people wear all sorts. Whatever floats your boat.

There are terrible fashions of every era and this one seems to be butt-shorts and scrunch leggings 😩 I do not want to see anyone's bum cheeks! The pink/peach/brown basically flesh coloured ones are the worst as they make the wearer look naked. I really wonder how many people are choosing to wear them just because it's currently fashionable versus actually enjoying wearing them. 🤔
