Just put the first episode of "America In Primetime" on, and am really pumped for it to be awesome. Anybody seen it? Comments?

I know a stripper/burlesque dancer who buys the cheapest shit she can find and ads her own embellishments. When you can't even sell to someone with plenty of disposable income (she's very into fancy brands) whose literal job it is to look extra fancy in underwear and put on a fake sexuality for mostly straight male…

OMG it's so good! And seriously dead-on in its depiction of that kind of life. I had serious pangs of nostalgia for my heavily-churched childhood upon hearing some hymns I hadn't thought about in decades.

Are there trees near the house? A lot of tree species have very aggressive root systems that will invade and ultimately clog pipes with flowing water. Older pipes + trees probably means you have to pay someone to repair a fairly severe problem that took many years to manifest itself. A friend of mine had to have…

Are you using spermicidal lube that contains nonoxynol-9, or are the condoms lubed with it? MANY women are sensitive to it, and get anything from mild irritation to allergic reactions, to yeast infections to urinary tract infections when they use it. Most people are completely ignorant of this, because real sex…

Ads target consumers, not audiences. Without some kind of source to show that that style of advertising lingerie is more successful than other styles, there is no basis for saying it's THE style for any reason other than the imaginations of the men who make the ads. I would love to see some all-women focus groups…

If you feel great in ladies' lingerie, then good for you. But unless you're the one wearing it, you're not actually the consumer. Women do most of the shopping of all types in most households. Women buy more articles of clothing than men, and spend more money per article than men, typically. Again, why ads for…

If the point is in the viewing, then the explicit ads are a bit of "getting the milk for free" without having to "buy the cow," or purchase the lingerie. Not to mention women are pretty much set up to feel like shit when we inevitably fail to look like the models or refuse to perform lesbian acts for our straight…

Actually, I try to better understand and broaden my perspective almost constantly, not just on jezebel, and not just by reading jezebel. If more men examined the world around them, more would express awareness of their privileges, whether race, gender, or economic. I know plenty of men who live lives they examine…

Today, you are a beacon of sense-making in a sea of WTF. I mean, you typically leave interesting, thoughtful comments, but it seems extra important to be all "Hey, I see you and I think you're right!" when so many others can't seem to stop torturing logic.

THIS. "Women buy a larger number of articles of clothing, and pay a higher price per article than do men. We should sell special-occasion women's clothing to straight men instead of to women, and while we're at it, we'll specifically exclude straight-only women AND queer women." Good plan, bros.

AND YET, the comments to this post are rife with rationalizations and justifications of the phenomenon. "Ads for women's lingerie are aimed at straight men not women, so it only makes sense to exclude straight-only AND queer women. Women are meant to WEAR the stuff, not ENJOY it. MARKETING STRATEGY." Lawd. Even…

There is definitely a relevant extension to fashion and women, more generally, which the author acknowledges. "This is an issue that exists everywhere, not only in lingerie and not only in fashion."

I want to give you a big hug, and I want you to know that some of us do our best to ditch those kinds of assumptions, to recognize that which we take for granted, and to examine what the world must look like from other perspectives. Thank you for sharing, and good luck!

I'm not looking for a movement, just some critical examination of the world. There's no excuse not to examine. Those who don't feel the need to examine or who resist examining the world/messaging around them are generally those who benefit from the status quo, i.e., not women or lesbians. If men who aren't okay…

Please, tell me some more about how temporarily being the racial minority in your neighborhood is the same as being a racial or sexual minority in an entire world that constantly tries to deny your rights and marginalize you, whether by denying your right to get married or trying to keep you from voting or…

Why would you comment on an article you clearly haven't read or understood? I'm not telling you you're wrong because feminism, I'm telling you you're wrong because you sound ignorant, which is probably why other commenters tell you you're wrong. Telling you to read up on a relevant concept of feminism is not the…

This comment, from elsewhere in the thread, covers a lot of ground.

What porn lesbians view for themselves, as opposed to what porn featuring lesbian acts that straight men view, are not necessarily the same thing. And the fantasy for the man viewing lesbian porn is typically to be included in the sex, not to simply observe and call it a day.

I swear, you've just summed up what I've tried to say in like a dozen comments, in one concise, fantastic comment. THANK YOU.
