Creepy AGP reviews on M&S website

I've noticed quite a few online reviews from men of M&S lingerie. These knickers are the latest I've seen. 3 reviews, 2 of which are by men.
I get the feeling that the review is part of the AGP fetish. It reminds me of flashing in that it's intended to make women/girls feel uncomfortable/shocked/embarrassed. I've seen men reviewing bras from the "Angel" first bra range too.

I think all three are from men.

This

Nice coverage and bikini panties seem to offer the best compromise and support for everyday wear. Fairly discreet when worn under trousers or shorts.

Does not sound like something a vagina haver would say.

Also their horrible pants. That pattern looks like somthing a child would wear.

I'm still boycotting M&S. Have found many suitable replacement shops for everything I need, so won't be going back. They can keep their jizzy "panties".

@TheProdigalKitten, I'd not thought of it like that but, yes, I guess it may well have been if my 'friend' had been an AGP man Sad

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 17/05/2020 17:23

So at current prices that's what, maybe 12 or so new reviews about how supportive the knickers are? Or it would be if your friend hadn't been running an experiment.

FleecyMoo · 17/05/2020 17:21

Coronavirus sperm stained knickers? Urgh, no thanks M&S.

My 'friend' ran a little experiment with M&S customer service recently. She (adult human female) claimed to be a trans woman and made a complaint. She also submitted the same complaint without claiming to be anything other than an adult human female. Guess what happened? Her complaint as herself was completely ignored whilst her complaint as a trans woman was replied to within the day and £50 in vouchers sent as 'compensation' for her distress. I'd love to think I was making this up but I'm not Angry

*Which means that M&S shouldn’t think twice about removing nasty wank fantasy shit from their website(
Unless pervy men are a protected group

You do know that not only would no pervy man exploit the measures taken to make trans people more at ease , cross dressing is under the trans umbrella how dare you question their trans statusAngry

FlamingoAndJohn · 17/05/2020 17:18

But the reviews actually say that these are a good fit for a man. Not a woman with a penis, a man.

Aposterhasnoname · 17/05/2020 17:14

Transphobes , how dare they suggest that anyone donning these garments does not instantly become a woman the moment the put them on.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 17/05/2020 17:14

There was a report that came out recently saying that researchers in China had found coronavirus in sperm, maybe that could be the reason to refuse to accept soiled knickers for return since clearly the fact that women don't want to buy them isn't deemed important.

Datun · 17/05/2020 17:12

It's interesting if M & S have indeed taken out the gender option.

Because a lot of women here complained about it, as the men were loving putting that they were men, and then talking about the knickers in a fetishist way. Shocking the women by being men was definitely part of the arousal.

Then there was that bloke who said they would ejaculate into the knickers and put them back on the rack...🤮

FlamingoAndJohn · 17/05/2020 17:09

Hang on.
These are men, not transwomen because transwomen are women and would sure say that these were suitable for a woman with a penis.

So this isn’t a trans thing is it, just a creepy nasty man thing.

Which means that M&S shouldn’t think twice about removing nasty wank fantasy shit from their website.
Unless pervy men are a protected group.

I think for a lot of men what they fetishize in terms of undergarments, shoes etc will be based on what their mother wore when they were little.

There were a lot of nylon knickers around like this in the early 70s

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 17/05/2020 17:03

Well, there's a significant minority of men who get off on wearing nappies, so if they also like knickers I suppose those would be a two birds with one stone sort of deal. A bargain, really.

Fluffycloudland77 · 17/05/2020 17:02

Panties 🤢

You only call them panties if your starring in a porn film or trying to ignore your Y chromosome.

LizziesTwin · 17/05/2020 17:02

Grim.

I’ve stopped buying underwear from M&S as I don’t want to buy pants that men have been trying on. Yes, I’m old-fashioned.

Melroses · 17/05/2020 17:02

I think all three reviews are men

Yes, you're right, but they seem to have put them in the wrong section?

YinMnBlue · 17/05/2020 17:02

I have never seen anything like those red ruffly nylon ones on display in an actual M&S shop so I wouldn’t be surprised if they know the online market is men.

Totally naff pants. Have these men no taste?

(Insert the vomiting smiley I keep requesting here.)

Doyoumind · 17/05/2020 17:01

So blatantly about fetish.

Lostvoiced · 17/05/2020 16:59

I used to work for a call centre for a shop I wont name and we were told on our induction that it was not uncommon for men to ring up and try and get the female staff to describe underwear to them. Apparently we had one particular "customer" who would keep calling back until a woman answered the phone. Luckily I never encountered any, but I only worked there 3 months. The managers were more annoyed that these blokes never purchased anything than anything else! Angry

This just made me think of that.

Melroses · 17/05/2020 16:59

That might explain it - I couldn't think why anyone would want to be going to bed in a cheap polyester slip instead of a nighty, lace or no lace. It is hardly Janet Reagar/Agent provocateur or whatever is the latest tat.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 17/05/2020 16:58

Certainly support is a thing women are unlikely to be looking from from their knickers.

GreyishDays · 17/05/2020 16:57

I think all three reviews are men. And I think the pants are for men.

SarahTancredi · 17/05/2020 16:57

Remember - M&S reviews are submitted then ‘passed’. So they are either hunky dory with this or too weasly feart of these groups

Well we have been told it would never happen.

No choice but to act as if it's entirely normal so as to maintain the pretence of women being hysterical Hmm

YinMnBlue · 17/05/2020 16:55

I think all 3 of those reviews are by men. When do women write about ‘panties’ giving them ‘support’ or concern themselves with how ‘discreet’ they are under shorts.

I would ignore. It’s a product, it’s legal to wear them, shrug and ignore, don’t give them the attention and shock they hope for.

M&S may find it doesn’t boost their sales, but who cares in nylon pants get discontinued.
