Serious question: who uses Facebook as a news source? I’m only using it as a way to keep in touch with old friends who aren’t local, some interest groups (vinyl fans, Comics, Howard Stern, etc) I only read verified pages like The NY Times, WaPo, New Yorker and such.  How is the RussianBot fake news being disseminated?…

Gosh by this logic, any woman who wanders through the lingerie section too long in Target must be asking for it too. Unless you buy plain white cotton briefs, ladies, you’re apparently advertising to the entire store that you’re a harlot.

Underwear sucks at communicating consent because rapists can’t know what underwear you’re wearing until they’re already raping you.

1) Of course wearing a lacy thong doesn’t mean you’re “open to meeting someone and being with someone”

It will be a SHOCK if Latrice isn’t in the finals... a SHOCK! 

I loooove Aerie and I am not a tween. I buy all my underwear there and they make decent swimsuits and work out clothing as well. And they’re always having sales so that helps. 

I totally hear you, since I also graduated high school in the early 2000s and graduated college in the mid 2000s. All the “cool” girls wore VS underwear and AF polos and mini skirts. Of course, you had to be ultra skinny to look good in any of it. It did lead me to struggle with my body image at that time. In college…

yeah, for a while VS was the only option for not-ugly underwear. i now basically wear only gap body or Aerie. i HATE VS bras but before when i was in high school/college and only bought things in person (pre-online shopping), VS was the only place to go. i’m small chested and everything in my size was either padded or…

G-strings and thongs are one of the biggest lies sold to women.  Nobody wants to wear that shit.  It serves NO function beside flossing your Butthole- which is the opposite of hygienic.  Tell these boyfriends they are as basic as pumkin spice starbucks and uggs. Ask them to wear some cloth up their asscrack for you…

I suggest buying your husband a g-string, and making him wear it for a whole day. That should cure him. 

This is the fundamental ridiculousness of VS encapsulated.  Make bras that make tits look bigger, but don’t make bras for those with actual big tits.  

I could not be happier to see the downfall of these gross brands, VS in particular. I just keep flashing back to my douchey ex-boyfriend who thought VS was the pinnacle of everything and kept dragging me into that store despite me repeatedly saying it made me uncomfortable.

I just think it’s ridiculous that they only show one type of body when they sell so many sizes. I’m 5'1"! I’ve got 42" hips! I still wear VS and their cotton underwear is super comfortable! It’s not like they don’t sell to other people, it’s such a lie.

I don’t understand the premise of this story.

Oh, man, this hits me where I live. This was my coming-of-age, during the hey day of this kind of retailing (high school & college in the late 90s/early 00s), and there’s still a weird sort of internal pull toward Vicki’s (gawd) and Abercrombie when I’m at the mall, despite the fact that I never felt comfortable in…

I love Aerie and I’m 35!

oh lord. We didn’t need researchers to tell us this. Or to tell us that we pay more for every goddamn thing. Hell, I go out of my way to buy man stuff: antipersperant, hoodies, small men’s boots, razors, hats, small t-shirts, small anything. It’s all cheaper. Transport? We know that too. Most of us can’t afford limos…
