    well DUH….Everything is run by men.

        Yet women admit they dress for other women- not the men in their lives.

          Who told you that one?

          • viking gal says:

            After a couple decades into life, you will realize it is true. Guys don’t care about the pushup bra–they would rather see you without one. Ditto for the fancy hairdo, earrings, etc. They like the effort, but couldn’t care less if you are fashionable or not. The massive fashion and grooming thing is a form of female competition.
            V-neck sweaters and tight clothing is for the guys.

            • keithybabes says:

              Yes. it’s not the clothing that matters, it’s what lies beneath..

              • Naoyusimi says:

                Don’t believe all of it. They like the fancy bras and the cheeky panties. I didn’t buy my first Aubade bra & shortie set because I loved the hefty price tag! I said, lookit this, it’s pretty! My BF said: Get it. NOW.

                Fashion? Yeah, it’s to look good, and I suppose, with some women, it’s competition with other women.

                • HelOnWheels says:

                  C’mon. You seriously believe that your BF would care if you were wearing Gaultier or GAP? Doubtful. Most men don’t really care what you’re wearing. If Fruit of the Loom made under-things as high quality & pretty as Aubade your BF wouldn’t know the difference. You don’t hear men commenting on women’s outfits. Whereas women do that ALL the time.

                  • There’s a difference between cute/sexy and expensive, although with underwear in particular it seems like they coincide a lot. Little lace panties that are designed to make your butt look cuter are both more attractive and more expensive than the bargain panties from Family Dollar. If I found something awesomely cute at Family Dollar, though, I’d buy it and wear it proudly and I don’t imagine either guys or girls would really care that much about the label.

                    Ok, I’ll admit I really don’t hang out much with people who tend to care about labels and brands.

                    • Philip says:

                      How long will these girls spend on totally guessing in the dark what guys want?

                      A. Forever
                      or
                      B. Until the end of time

                      • Hmmm. I had a long reply typed out to this and PK ate it. How long will you guys spend trying to figure out what girls want?

                        I think we’ve mostly got a clue what guys want: Food, beer, and sex. Possibly sports. And not to have to Talk About The Relationship.

                    • kittehgirl says:

                      i would be scared of catching a disease from any panties at Family Dollar lol

                  • Naoyusimi says:

                    Hel: You’ve apparently missed my point. Completely and utterly. “C’MON.” I NEVER SAID A BRAND MATTERED. I mentioned a brand for illustration’s sake, only.
                    VG said ” . . . guys don’t care about the pushup bra . . . ” & I replied that they LOVE the lacy & fancy underthings. As for what BRAND? NO, I never said he cared about what brand.

                    As for others saying: “we’d rather see you without”; I was trying to give a different perspective: his (and some other men I’ve *ahem* talked to). Simply put: they LIKE the tease. They LIKE to see a hint of something, but not always ALL of it. He likes it when I’m walking around the house in bra and shorties, getting ready to go somewhere . . .

                    I get really sick of this attitude that women are horrible to each other, when I’ve heard plenty of men make the catty comments and run each other down–NO, not about their “outfits”, but they find plenty of other things. Let’s face it: men and women aren’t that different. When they sense sexual competition, they do two things: 1) Go on the attack; 2) Do something to impress.

                • keithybabes says:

                  What do you mean don’t believe it? How can I not believe the evidence of my own central nervous system? That way madness lies! :lol:

                  • Naoyusimi says:

                    Sorry, Keithy….my reply was meant for VG. I meant that some of her reply was valid, in my experience, but some of it: not so much.

    Oh please. You really think men rule the world? We just let them think that – it makes them happy. All we have to do is put on short skirts and heels and watch them fall at our feet.

  18. RichardRahl says:

    So this caption says that the women wouldn’t doll themselves up if they had the chance? Oh right, only because men are the only ones who want to see women look pretty.

    • VictoryNotVengeance says:

      Would “pretty” be what it was today if billions of dollars weren’t spent on advertizing telling you what was in fact “pretty”. Those product execs might have some females on the board now, but they certainly didn’t when it started. And that’s just modern history. We have been a patriarchal society since the dawn of man.

      • We have been a patriarchal society since the dawn of man.

        Well, that’s hardly been universal, especially if you’re going all the way back to the dawn of man.

        I’d certainly argue that we’re not (those of us in the USA, at least) living in a patriarchal society now, at least not by any definition of the term that’s not so watered down as to render it meaningless.

        • ay dios mio says:

          but watering down terms is the key to victory in any argument where the end result is you walking away assured of your own superiority right?

          :D

        • VictoryNotVengeance says:

          Depends on which Dawn of Man story you like. And you can argue what you want. Take a look at wages earned, top earners, and percentages of each. Denying that we are still largely patriarchal is still false in my opinion. No watering needed.

          • If you’re going to make the argument that money is the best measure of success ….which I wouldn’t have expected from you.

            • VictoryNotVengeance says:

              I wasn’t measuring success. I was measuring control.

              • If you’re looking at the high-level corporate power structure, yes, it’s still largely male. A better question might be “is it still largely male because women are somehow prevented from participating or because women are less likely to give a shit about defining themselves as ‘Chairman of the Board’?”

                Anyway, looking at it that way, given that 99% of men in our culture wield less financial power than these guys, it’s less patriarchy you’re talking about and more about oligarchy.

                When you look at day to day power issues between normal people, it’s a completely different perspective. We don’t live in a culture where female children don’t inherit, or wives are treated as property.

                • VictoryNotVengeance says:

                  “If you’re looking at the high-level corporate power structure, yes, it’s still largely male” – Well there you go then. The corporate power controls the government. The government “controls” the people (for now). It is a patriarchal oligarchy.

                  I am going to go with your option A on the second part. Clearly, it’s not because women aren’t interested in being CEO’s. That’s like saying that pre-integration that blacks just weren’t interested in being on the police force.

                  99% of men, 99% of women equal out. Now look at the top 1% and tell me what you see.

                  Day to Day “normal” interactions vary from instance to instance.

                  • Honestly, I think there’s a smaller percentage of women who actually give a shit, or at least give enough of a shit that they’re willing to make the necessary sacrifices to attain that type of power.

                    Yes, normal interactions vary. But in our culture, if a teenage girl or young woman’s father is trying to force her to marry his business partner, she doesn’t have to. If a woman wants to vote, she has the same right to as a man. Women can own property and have all the same legal rights as a man. I guess my question to you is: If you want to call what we have in our culture patriarchy because the top levels of power are dominated by men, then what the hell are you going to call a culture where women CAN be forced into marriage; where they aren’t accorded the same rights to own property; where they can’t get the same education as a man? In my opinion, using the term patriarchy regarding our culture pretty much explicitly devalues the term.

                    • AnotherSwede says:

                      Its not only the top levels of power actually, first of all even doing the same job women make less money. In Sweden that number is 12 percent, and were one of the most gender equal countries in the world (according to the UN, WHO and a bunch of others). More than that, jobs that have a female dominated workforce are severely lower paid than sectors that are male dominated. Compare nurses and construction workers for example, nurses have more education but get paid worse. And if you take skilled labour like electricians or plumbers and compare them to nurses then the numbers are ridiculous.

                      The work women do is judged as less valuable inherently by the market, because its women doing it. Nothing to do with productivity.

                      • AnotherSwede says:

                        Apostrophe fail… sry bout that, keyboard is shit.

                      • You overlook the fact that construction workers are far more likely to be unionized. (Well, ok, I don’t know if that’s true in Sweden?)

                        It’s certainly true that female-dominated professions pay less; some of that is, well, kinda left over from when it was generally considered ok to pay women less overall. Things don’t change overnight and quite honestly you can’t compare apples and oranges (“Hey, I have to be outside in the rain! And I hurt at the end of the day….and have a far greater chance of being killed or badly injured on the job.” “Yeah, but I have to deal with ACTUAL shit. Blood, too.”) But a male construction worker and a female construction worker doing the same job should earn the same; as should a male and a female nurse.

                        • ay dios mio says:

                          I don’t know about the average of this profession, but my mom’s a nurse. She makes almost as much as my dad and pokes fun at him because she doesn’t have to be around chemicals and (insert large number) psi valves all day. My mom loves her job, and doesn’t PERSONALLY see any bias in her wages and the men she works with. Could just be our area though. *shrugs*

                        • MewNya says:

                          I’m a licensed veterinary technician -another position that is also usually female-, and I get paid a LOT less than the male-dominated jobs. And, you know, I also hurt at the end of the day… have to deal with an interesting variety of bodily fluids… deal with cold/rain/etc… deal with pissed owners… and have to deal with possibly getting killed or badly injured on the job. So, uh… that whole more hardcoreness in male jobs thing is stupid. I want their salary.

                • alliecat says:

                  You’re looking at it in a- “well, they don’t have to do that anymore- therefore, they are equal!”
                  White males are the most privileged in society (looking at USA stircly, that is where I live). They own most of the wealth, run most of the gov’t, and have most of the power. If you are saying, then, that that has nothing to do with men and women being equal then what does? How are men and women equal? Socially? They get the children in a divorce?(That really evens the tables- I get the kids, you get higher pay) Are you also going to point out that most of these women in a divorce end up in poverty while the opposite is for men who get custody?

                  • dissimilitude says:

                    You misunderstand. I’m not saying what we have is perfect or that we need to stop working for equality. I’m saying that it’s progressed to a point where to call it patriarchy in the classic sense of the term is inaccurate at best and disrespectful to the struggles of women having to live in true patriarchal situations today in other cultures.

    • Rockin' it in a muscle shirt and dude jeans says:

      Says the man. I’m a girl and I never ‘doll up’, as it’s a waste of time and completely impractical.

      So yes. It is because men are the only ones who want to see women look pretty. You shave your legs, and I’ll shave mine, Richard. Or should I say, Dick?

      • keithybabes says:

        Get many dates?

      • It is because men are the only ones who want to see women look pretty.

        Um….I’m going to have to disagree with you there. I’m a woman, and I enjoy looking at pretty women. Pretty not necessarily meaning “fake” or “Barbie-doll” or “fashion model” but definitely including “takes the time and effort to take care of herself and try to look nice.”

        • The Steve says:

          I think she’s even more wrong than that.

          Most men would rather just see you naked.

          Most girls get dressed up for no better reason than to show each other up. I love it when a girl gets all dressed up, but 9 times out of 10 no matter how much I like the outfit, I’d rather just see her in lingerie or something slutty instead of a classy outfit.

          I’m a guy. If it looks nice piled in a heap on the floor or hanging from the ceiling fan, it’s a good outfit.

          • ay dios mio says:

            I disagree. That slutty outfit (whether anyone wants to admit it or not) is worn by sluts.
            I don’t want something that worn out. I mean I don’t expect everyone to be a virgin but at a certain points let’s all keep it in our pants.
            I respect a woman who can look attractive without being slutty. Sexy stuff is for the bedroom.
            That’s my two cents.

            • The Steve says:

              Who said anything about going out?

              I agree with you. Like I said, if it’s just ME looking, then slutty is great. When I take her out to meet my friends, classy is the way to go.

          • Well, but she implied in her post that she doesn’t even bother shaving her legs. You really want to see that?

            (Also, let’s face it — you see a naked woman walking down the street, your first thought is probably not “Damn, it’s my lucky day!” but “What the hell is wrong with her?”)

            • keithybabes says:

              My first feeling in this situation is one of profound gratitude for being allowed to witness the beauty of the female form. Then my alarm clock goes off..

            • Danbala says:

              “she doesn’t even bother shaving her legs. You really want to see that?”

              Oh, you Americans. ;p

            • Alex says:

              It’s just hair. Who cares? Anyone who ever had an issue with me not shaving my legs, was not somebody who I valued my time with or cared about for longer than 25 minutes.

            • mabsba says:

              I think this falls into the category of why do you CARE if someone shaves her legs or his beard or not? Unless it’s YOUR significant other…I like my husband’s beard. :)

              (Actually, I doubt I would notice if a woman had shaved legs or not. :) )

            • Default User says:

              I have to say, (and this is in response to some of the other things in this thread, not just what Diss said, this just seemed the best place to reply) I don’t shave my legs, it’s not that I don’t bother not to, but I get very bad razor burn, I don’t like the pain from the hair growing back and I have better things to do with my time. The only one’s who ever even see my legs are the people I sleep with and they don’t complain. Just because I don’t shave my legs doesn’t mean I’ve completely let myself go. I’m a big fan of regular bathing and grooming, and I like looking pretty, but shaving isn’t worth it to me. If you want to keep me supplied in veet or pay to have laser hair removal then go for it, but I won’t go through that much pain and annoyance for so little return. (Keithy I hope this doesn’t adversely affect our engagement)

      • The Steve says:

        Most of us guys shave our faces, and trim in other areas, expecting you to groom yourself isn’t out of line.

        I don’t see how shaving legs can be all that bad…sure there’s a lot of skin, but it’s not all that badly contoured. (anticipates flames)

        Try shaving your jaw sometime…or that little spot under your chin on each side that no matter which way you draw the blade it doesn’t shave close enough….Arggg!

      • xmetalheadnyrx says:

        I wear my biker boots, a tee shirt, and jeans to my boyfriends house (no makeup, and I look like a drenched dog cuz I forgot my umbrella). He doesn’t care if I’m pretty. The tee shirts a V-Neck for comfort, and trust me, he doesn’t mind. :)

        • bitter troll over 9000 says:

          please dont feed the man hateing lesbains

        • ay dios mio says:

          Do it enough times in a row without even offering to look good for him and he WILL assume the you don’t respect him enough to even get dressed.

          A few times = extremely cute, and comfortable around us
          everyday = too lazy to get dressed

          • froofrou the fabulous says:

            *blushes because the last two months of pregnancy were pretty horrific* I think I wore pajama pants every day.

          • mabsba says:

            My only complaint is unequal expectations. When I worked in a corporate office, guys were dressed if they had dress pants and a button down shirt. If women weren’t wearing jewelry and make-up, there was a definite attitude that one was casually dressed. Didn’t matter if you were wearing a freaking Evan Picone suit.

            Maybe this girl and her boy have the same low level of expectations of each other. Then it works for them.

            I don’t work in an office any more, but you can bet that I don’t see clients wearing my gardening clothes!

  19. Nicole says:

    Right, ’cause if it were run by women, all their skirts would be hemmed to the same length.

    • The Steve says:

      They were originally…the especially scandelous ones rolle it up at the waistband like the cheerleaders did in high school….too bad none of my high school cheerleaders looked ANYTHING like these women…

  20. dhydar says:

    … and now, out National Anthem, performed by ZZ Top…

  21. Philip says:

    By the way, the cameraman in the bottom right corner (behind “men”) sure is getting a nice shot :)

  22. The Doctor says:

    As a retired military guy, something made me doubt this group as an actual military group. After a few minutes, it became obvious: those uniforms aren’t exactly uniform. That is, their shoes don’t match. Some are sandals, others slippers, pumps, etc. No army would march with various high-heels like that in the same formation. Except, that is, for the guys in Key West’s Banana Republic Army. Heheheh…

    • Mike says:

      Also notice the option for a longer skirt. Only one woman is wearing it. Second to last row, second woman in. The only thing uniform about them are the coats and hats.

  23. Alena says:

    This is the Russian police force by the way. Been there, seen that.

  24. little_bird says:

    Is that man in front bowing?

    • ay dios mio says:

      He IS Belgian.

    • 2501 says:

      He’s holding a video camera level with the street. Either he’s a legitimate producer trying to get a cool shot of all their feet marching by, or else a perv who’s just about to tip the camera to check if he can see up their skirts. Or more likely, both.

  25. CandleJack says:

    That day, all female officers will be required to wear…

    TINY MINISKIRTS!!!

  26. GAhn says:

    again ttrample me!

  27. spartacus says:

    this army was made by Roy Mustang
    TINY MINISKIRTS!

  28. Matt Scheaffer says:

    Yes, because women NEVER dress in short skirts on their own, a man is always responsible.

    • Naoyusimi says:

      Jeez, defensive much?

      Directly or indirectly, a man IS responsible. If a woman wants to be sexually alluring, who’s she doing it for (if she’s heterosexual)?

      However, if a woman wants to perform hand-to-hand combat, or fight fires, or clean the house, what is she going to wear? Yeaaaah, that’s right: a super-short miniskirt. Of course! ::rollseyes::

      • paws4thot says:

        So no woman has ever worn a short skirt and/or a cleavagey top to say “I have a better figure than you” to another woman then?

        • Naoyusimi says:

          I can’t speak for every single woman on the planet, because I don’t know how they ALL think . . . so, no, I can’t say no woman has ever . . . I doubt, however, most women think like that. I don’t. If I wear something like that, it’s male attention that I want. That other attitude is ridiculous. My not-so-humble-opinion.

          • mabsba says:

            Besides, I think the main point is the second thing you said — these are military personnel…in mini skirts and high heels? That would be great fun on, say, an aircraft carrier. :)

            PS If a woman had picked the outfits, they would have matched, right? :D

            • Naoyusimi says:

              Yes. :D
              If I had picked the outfits, I would’ve picked heels that were not 3-1/2″ spikes; but then, I’ve got an ankle which is held together by 3 pins. I wear heels, but usually 2 or 2-1/2″ is about all I can do, for a little walking or more than a couple of hours, anyway.
