No idea, but this is what she's wearing for comps this season (npsfw):

It's a relief this is all considered empowering nowadays and not just smutty dfbwgc fodder.

I don’t get it. Mainly it’s just ridiculous. Also is it the case that wearing lingerie is meant to be sexy but simultaneously not objectifying at the same time? Can someone explain it to me to bring me up to date.

Rest your brain OldBoy, it’s just attention seeking as usual.

A woman, by choosing to wear an item of clothing that makes her feel good, does not objectify herself. Only other people can objectify her.

Just so.

Also, if you ever get worked up about what clothes people wear: don't.

Had to Google what dfbwgc stood for; glad that's been consigned to history.

I think the lingerie thing works in two different ways. For one, women should be free and empowered to wear whatever they want / nothing at all, without being objectified or held up as sex objects by others. For two, athletic / muscular women are sexy / attractive. Which is kind of contradictory when it's paraded out in this way, trying to do both simultaneously, but there you go.

I think that's it anyway.

Doylo is probably on the money too.

Likewise. That thread should be scrubbed from the internet.

:lol:
For a slightly different (read coherent and sane) view on objectification, this is a copy and paste from an ex forum contributor:

"wearing anything or doing anything doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Melanie Klein describes object - relations theory which summed part of this up followed by the interpersonal psychiatry of Harry stack Sullivan.  We are all objects that only exist in relation to others.
Hence when a tree falls in the woods with no one there to hear it, it doesn’t make sound."

Heartened some newer members didn't even know what that thread was; embarrassed that getting rid of it took so much debate.

Pretty sure I saw someone on IG post about some enriched coffee from physivantage. Can’t find it know and there weren’t details of what was added

Edit: Sadly it's just coffee: https://physivantage.com/products/send-blend-coffee?_ke=eyJrbF9lbWFpbCI6ICJyb3NzYWNvb3BlcjkyQGdtYWlsLmNvbSIsICJrbF9jb21wYW55X2lkIjogIkhTNThKYiJ9

You’d think they’d at least throw some beetroot juice in there.

I liked the kayaking section the best, such speed considering they are only putting their paddle in the water on one side of the boat! Amazing how they keep in such a straight line too.

Where do you start? Is that genuine, or some April Fool type thing?

I quite enjoyed it. Bonkers enough you know it's not meant to be realistic, quite liked the general vibe.

Are you kidding?

It’s deadly serious, they’re not just going after the Outdoor market, they’re following Hugo Boss into the Nazi uniform market.
Their Outdoor/Nazi/Paramilitary/tactical crossover range is ace! Half the crowd at the Capitol insurrection were dressed by Gucci!

Check out these two badass Operators, snapped mid-insurrection, deep inside the Capitol:



Edit:
Back in the ‘80s, my first wife had an uncle that dressed almost identically.
He was allowed home, with a carer, one weekend a month and holidays.

Reminds me of my wife's request for a decent rucksack that she wants to wear (ie doesn't look like sports equipment)   

(Troop London was the answer I won with)

Is that... Is that a Raj style pith helmet? I can't figure out whether getting a black model to wear such a thing is empowering or awful.
