Lovehoney calling open crotch knickers "schoolgirl"?

[Mxflamingnoravera]

Was I BU to submit a review to Lovehoney for the name of this product on their site. (Schoolgirl open back knickers) .
I've called them out on this in their review section.
Just appalling that a site like that which is for adults would use such a term. It's the last time I buy anything from them.

Grim and unnecessary.

I agree with you 100%, OP. It's really sick for a mainstream website to encourage adult men to be sexually attracted to schoolchildren. WHY IS THAT EVEN A QUESTION FFS.

Yanbu, well done on calling them out on this.

YANBU. It's disgusting when you think about it.

YANBU weird, weird, fucking weird. Imagine if they had some ‘school boy pants?’

Cannot believe how many people on here are fine with it. ‘If two consenting adults want to role play blah blah’ SCHOOL girl?! Grim!

I don't think YABU, I suspect I'll be in the minority though, and people will tell you it's harmless fanstais

Schoolgirls are fetishised and it has been decades, that's true. My 60 year old mother started getting sexuial comments from men at 13, myself at 12 and my dd at 11. I have seen men drive past a y6 pupil asking if she wants to suck them off, and then got angry with HER when her sister said they've just asked a child for a blowjob.

How horrible.

What’s just as bad is that there are posters on a parenting website that have no problem with it.

There's been another thread on school girl porn. It's foul. But the barely legal/college girl thing is fucking everywhere.

I kind of see what you mean. I wouldn’t be posting on MN for support in this. I often see things that don’t sit right with me either. I tried looking for your review but can’t find it. If you feel strongly then write it at least it will be out of your mind then

YANBU this is inappropriate and normalises the 'school girl as a sexual object'. In this day and age this is not much of a reflection of progress.

YANBU - Horrible and the normalisation needs to stop. It wasn't ever right and it isn't now.

Quite. The apologists.

The 'it's not new, it's been happening for years' brigade, as if that is any sort of justification

I agree with OP these don’t look remotely like any school knickers I’ve ever seen as a child or parent. In my view the danger is in promoting the idea that this is the type of underwear schoolchildren wear.

To those what think this all ok, something like 1 in 5 schoolgirls have been catcalled or experienced some sort of sexual innuendo or unwanted "banter" from a stranger man whilst wearing their uniform.

So that's some guy (could be your husband/dad/brother/son) thinks it's ok to treat our children in this disgusting fashion. But because it's been going on for years, yada yada, it's ok?

This kind of advertising feeds into this directly and continues to normalise it. It's not on at all.

The review is still in their moderation system, they moderate reviews first. I wrote it last night before I wrote my post.

If it doesn't appear I'll be writing to them. And I'll be writing to them anyway outside the review process.

Thanks all for the reassurance, I'm no prude, but this just is not ok.

Its definitely grim. Can't believe how many posts are saying it's ok.

YANBU. It’s cringeworthy.

Don’t ever go to Japan OP whatever you do, you might spontaneously combust!

Yuck. I can’t believe some are defending it because it’s “been around a long time”.

I remember getting ogled and whistled at in my school uniform as a 12yo. Grim to think my daughters will experience the same and it is somehow acceptable because men have always fancied schoolgirls. 🙄

These fantasies and role plays have come from somewhere or something. Perhaps, not every single person who indulges in it agree with the origin or the insidious ways others use it. But the fact remains it is also used that way.

I see no loss to 'innocent role players' if 'schoolgirl' sexual products are changed as part of the bid to end child porn/trafficking, etc. It costs you nothing and wouldn't stop you enjoying your role plays.

On the other hand, it will help actual, real life school (aged) girls.

YANBU, OP. I think they should play a part in the solution and stop being part of the problem.

So grim. Yanbu.

what about if the pattern was baby. Would that be OK? 🤮

@premiumshoes

Imagine being so ott you think it's unreasonable for a website to name their product something people search for

You are very much part of the problem.

Blame the demand not the supply

If people search for school girl outfit, schoolgirl underwear, school girl dress up love honey and other retailers need to name their products as such to ensure they get in the search results. Add to this when people get onto love honey and use their search function, most will search school girl not tartan knickers

YANBU. 'Schoolgirl' should never be conflated with sex.

@Lelophants

what about if the pattern was baby. Would that be OK? 🤮

Isn't there some website where women present themselves as babies to men in exchange for gifts?
