Rightly so, men dont look as nice in underwear as women do.

Hahahahahaha that’s exactly what I think. I cannot stand this stupid notion some women have today where they think they should stop bothering to be feminine.

Well Fucking said.

You know, I like being a woman and I like wearing nice stuff.   It's getting like we can't be feminine anymore in case we upset some silly moralist dog in the manger fucktard.

M&S do lovely underwear for women, and their bras have improved considerably IMO.

Fat women defining themselves as "feminists" does often seem to be little more than a common and convenient excuse for them to voice their displeasure over overpriced underwear they will never fit into, being displayed on slim mannequins and models, that they could only dream about alluding to,  doesn't it  ?!?

Have to agree with nicko, here..

That self-described "feminist" must have little to worry about, and far too much time on her hands, to be complaining about a harmless and relatively modest window display when there are far more serious problems in the world..

Yeah, and isn't she just saying, that's a bad look?

As in, here's how we at M&S see men and women - men are the important doers of the world, women are sex kittens.

Does she not have the right to have a problem with that? Everybody seems to be twisting her argument in order to make her look ridiculous.

She never said they shouldn't be allowed to advertise women's underwear or that she had a problem with the underwear. She said she had a problem with the display and what it seems to be saying about the role of women and men in the world.

I am an older women, but even to me the clothes are incredible frumpy and old fashioned, I am tall, and their trousers and dresses hang on the floor they are so long....God knows who they are designing for.

It's very strange. I can never really find much in M&S in the way of clothes, but on Ebay they have loads of nice clothes which was from M&S in the past.

The trousers do come in different lengths though, so that's good.

Nobody wants to see a row of mannequins wearing men's underpants.  Aside from looking pretty ridiculous, it wouldn't make a man go...'Hot damn, those skidders are a must buy!'    Men don't shop like that.   But women do.  We want to see pretty underwear and what it looks like on a model.  We're not arsed if you put that model between a dummy in a suit or a side of bacon.

Apparently you don't speak for all women, though.

I’ve been saying this for years  I celebrate my femininity and I like being a woman and all that it entails.

Weirdly, I just read this part of one of the chapters in our book:

“After I shower and wash my hair, I put on a really nice dress for no reason in particular and I decide to paint my nails and paint a mask over my face.
I like make-up, I like looking nice, it's what makes me female and today I decide I am going the whole hog and I paint my lips a vivid red.”
