[This broadcast comes to you LIVE from outside a fancy lingerie shop, where Val and Sif are standing, both looking perplexed and a little...grumpy?

The shop employee wouldn’t let them film inside, so Val’s begrudgingly bought a few of the more offensive items on offer, purely for the purpose of figuring out what the fuck is wrong with people, y’all need Odin.

Nodding to Sif, she holds up a pair of lacy thong underwear. Her phone is propped up on a public mailbox so she can do this handsfree, waggling the offending garment in front of the camera.]


Right. What MAN decided this was a good idea? The whole point of underwear is to keep everything covered. This—this is a torture device.

And it gets worse. Sif? Show them the other thing.

[ Sif appears reluctant to even be touching the thing in her hand, but in the interest of getting some answers she is going to make the sacrifice. It’s another pair of panties, of course, this time with a zipper down the front. Said zipper gets opened, and Sif spreads the resulting hole out to really show it off to the camera.]

Is this supposed to be appealing? To anyone? These things barely exist to begin with, surely ease of access was never a problem big enough to warrant such a thing.

[Val nods emphatically.]

Fucking exactly. You guys had one job and you botched it. Not to mention— ‘push-up bras’? Why would I want to choke on my own tits? It’s completely unnecessary. If any of you have an explanation, please tell us. We want to have a good laugh about it.

[Sif simply nods at that, Val pretty much summed it all up right there.]
11calls: Why are they shipping me and Strand?! Lol. JK. (The interns said what)

Oh! Um, it means taking down male-controlled society. The underwear is an example of it.

Because it is meant to appeal to men?
11calls: yeah I totally am reading (I'm not reading from this book.)

[personal profile] 11calls 2018-01-07 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Because it's designed by them and because women feel like they need to wear them to please men. I mean, I'm all for sexy underwear if that's your thing but honestly zippers just seems like you're asking for trouble.
fiercestwarrior: (I do not understand)

My society is controlled by a male, I cannot say I have a particularly strong desire to take him down.

[ Yes, she's being a little too literal. She does that sometimes. ]
11calls: Could you pause the recorder a minute? (Recording)

Maybe your society treats women better? Does it treat them like equals?
fiercestwarrior: (worried)

[personal profile] fiercestwarrior 2018-01-21 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
For the most part, though there is certainly room for improvement.
11calls: When did I start working for you, exactly?! (Researching)

In my world the power imbalance can be really extreme. So that's why I vote for smashing it.
