Female-aimed Trends That You Hate? - Sperg about recent trends you despise from media, make-up, social, etc

[Dubya's Cat]

I can't be the only one with a severe hatred for women's underwear and how it's so often cut to be exposing and flimsy, made of garbage materials which harm genital health, and then absurdly expensive to boot.

I remember watching some trend video on youtube by some girl who literally said that she predicts comfy cotton undies as a trend which is insane for me. Polyester panties are disgusting.

Finding good cotton undies is so hard in current year. I had some that lasted me years, but unfortunately I don't see them sold anywhere anymore. They used such thick cotton and so far I didn't found any other brand that has something comparable.

the four male leads of Final Fantasy XV are all paired together and the only plots involving them are pornographic.

I feel like being female is getting so unbearable in the present day that the only way younger women feels comfortable is to project onto males instead. I have schizophrenic theories about this entire phenomenon and I don't care if it's straight up schizophrenic, I'm peaked on the XX chromosomes

In the end I took the men's boxer briefs pill and I'm never going back.

I think male influence took everything good away from females so now females are trying to become male or forced into emulating them

I brought men's briefs and they're more comfortable and much better quality for the same price. It's not like anyone ever see your underwear anyways

I mean, from a personal experience, I absolutely hated the “ick” trend. Like how the fuck are you supposed to have a relationship with a nigga if you can’t like the random habits he does?

 

[Beef Void]

Moid, but I wanted to say how much I HATE how all of mainstream, pro-woman ideals are based on putting women in direct competition with men and what men do well at because male jobs tend to make more money. Every piece of media says that being a mother/ wife = le bad, that makes no money, women should want to do worthless, autistic male things that pay. Most women love jobs that are social and based on caretaking, stuff like being a teacher, daycare worker, barber, nurse, ect. most of these jobs don't generate much wealth, a lot actually need to be subsidized by the gov, the message being pumped out is that this means these jobs are lowly compared to anything that pays more. The idea that a woman should be ashamed of herself and her life because she makes 40k raising the next generation while some man is making 250k creating some dumb, frivolous shit like new video cards is absurd. You have to be nutty to think that a male dominated STEM job is more valuable to society than a job like motherhood just because STEM generates more wealth. According to the media, women can only be successful if they're rich, strong, outspoken and hyper-independent like the main character in some generic, male, self-insert power-fantasy movie. Contributing to your community, uplifting your loved ones and being a gift to those around you is oppression, GET IN THE MINES, FRONTHOLE.

There is certainly something happening to the textile industry and I've noticed the quality dip exponentially when it comes to cotton products. Things I have from 10 years ago that I easily mend are thicker and more comfy to the skin. Shirts and blends I have from 20 years ago are easily 5x the quality and thickness, rarely ever need mending.
This goes for expensive modern brands as well, it isn't an issue you can buy your way out of. The cotton products are just getting worse.

I have schizophrenic theories about this entire phenomenon and I don't care if it's straight up schizophrenic

Those are fun, I get those too

This trend has always confused me because I see people report a mix of genuine red flags (heavy drinker, disrespectful to others, gets in fights, etc.) and totally random stuff like "eats fruit yogurt" or "owns an orange shirt" and idk I just feel like that's not on the same level but you do you if that's a non-negotiable I guess. I'm all for women standing up for their comfort and safety but I also think it could be a bit unhealthy to fixate on frivolous details or to tinfoil about what an innocuous behavior "really indicates".

Honestly I may just be too autistic to get this trend. It all kinda goes over my head because I just don't regularly think about men in a "would I want to date or marry him" lens and don't care. I don't really feel like I have a generalized "type", I love one person and that's the extent to which I think about it. Mainstream attitudes towards dating have never made sense to me.

I can't be the only one with a severe hatred for women's underwear and how it's so often cut to be exposing and flimsy, made of garbage materials which harm genital health, and then absurdly expensive to boot. I see stuff advertised like "Cut with lower coverage to show a little cheek " like that's supposed to be a selling point when it always just means it'll sit weirdly and uncomfortably. Even briefs and boyshorts sold as basics, which are supposed to be full-coverage, are often cropped. I'm not a utilitarian minimalist about clothes though, so I also hate how anything with a fancy design is promoted with a focus on sex appeal to men. I just think lace and bows are cute,

Question, but is the Calvin Klein set I see everywhere comfortable? I've always thought they were flattering. But I see it so often that I wonder if this isn't just designer nonsense.

I am not sure which specific one you're referring to but the only thing I have tried from them are a pack of briefs for women and they're ok, the cut is not my favorite but not bad. The cotton fabric is very nice. Personally I don't like branded waistbands, but that's just me. Their stuff is probably comfy for most people who aren't as nitpicky.

Spoiler: personal favorite

For men and women who are ok with "men's" underwear, my favorite is Mack Weldon, they are pricey but the "18-hour" fabric is amazing.

I suppose that answers my question, underwear is underwear unless its for the purpose of seduction.

Women are expected to be accepting of kink to the point, that when I wrote in a reddit comment that I don't get what's up with all the obsession with the degenerate sex act of eating ass, I only got male-targeted insults, like chud, neckbeard and incel (waitwaitwait, aren't the latter two typically coomers?) My reddit guy avt is vaguely girly. They just can't even imagine women pushing back against that depraved shit.

This is the real "rape culture" they never talk about. They complain about men being sex pests, but then also go ballistic when a (perceived) man shows any reticence to their indecency.

if you're a woman's xs-s you can probably fit in the biggest size girls underwear at target. they're pretty cheap and 100 percent cotton. Might not be everyone's taste but I think they're cute.

I feel like we can’t escape men’s judgement and they will always have smth to say about us, our bodies, and our choices. And no matter how much better we can be than a man he will refuse to admit it. Most men want us to be inferior to them, not equal, and definitely not superior.

It's not really a men vs. women thing, this is an everyone thing. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. Women are just as judgmental as men, but I think we express it differently. There are different standards you have to adhere to depending on who you are and who's judging. I'm not excusing it either, just saying that it's not a uniquely woman thing. Men are hyper competitive, and you may not see the high standards men put on each other. If they see weakness they will take advantage and step all over you to elevate themselves. Man or woman they want everyone to be inferior to them. It makes them secure, but it's also how we are valued. We can't all be leaders. Someone has to lose.

 

[isalaide]

Dubai chocolate. That shit is fucking disgusting.

 

[Spilled Spaghett]

It’s not about opinion it’s just that we should never judge someone’s situation if we’ve never been in. I am talking about women’s situation because I am a woman.

You have never been a woman so you can’t use our voice to talk about what we’re living when you don’t live the same and you would never live the same.

You're right, I'm not a woman, and I can't say I fully understand what it's like to be on the other end. I'm not saying you aren't being judged or that what you feel is invalid. You even restate my point about men wanting to be first. I think we agree on more than you think. I just wanted to say that it's less of men wanting women to be inferior, and more men are all trying to race to the top regardless of who's in their way. It is an issue that everyone experiences.

 

[Spilled Spaghett]

I see what wym but it’s not an issue that everyone experiences. That depends. You can’t just generalize when you talk about men and women, you said “it’s less on men wanting women to be inferior” but it is. Most men want women to be inferior. But that doesn’t mean all of them. Just most of them. If we keep generalizing every time we talk weren’t going far ngl.

You say you can't generalize, but then you generalize "most men". I would never try to argue that there aren't men who really are misogynistic, and genuinely hate women. Of course there are. It is an issue everyone experiences because every single person has some sort of standard that they're expected to live up to that is put on them by someone else. It may be your parents, your co-workers, your friends, your partner. Man or woman we all have it pushed on us and it changes constantly. I just wanted to say you aren't alone in feeling unfairly judged.

I’ve known my share of picky women (and men to be fair) in all these decades on the planet, and there’s a large part that wonders how much of it is self-sabotage. “I’m still single after all these years because the right man/woman for me just…isn’t…out…there!” Easier to delude yourself into that than admit you’re not savvy in the dating pool or just have bad luck. A lot of them have honestly been great people. Decent looking, employed, educated, outgoing, etc. It’s baffling.

I wear those big M&S COTTON BRIEFS and I recommend them to all for warm bum cheeks and excellent vaginal health

I think a lot of people (both sexes) have this soulless approach where they basically constructed their ideal sweetheart as a fictional character in their head and they're going around comparing real life people to their checklist. It is normal to have preferences but part of the joy of loving someone is also in being open to getting to know their unique character and in growing to appreciate those aspects of them, not in pre-deciding a long list of criteria and looking for the exact fit to an unchanging box. Especially since you should expect that your partner will develop changes over time if you are going to be in a lifelong relationship.

5+ step skincare shit and other 'clean girl' sort of trends. I just don't get it at all. I try to be cleanly but I don't own 800 products. 1 facewash and some sunscreen does the trick
