Ever since accepting my unfortunate heterosexuality diagnosis earlier this summer I’ve been doing anthropological research into the ways of heterosexuals so that I can better understand the minds of like, people I might have to actually interact with as an autistic trans woman who doesn’t have any straight friends1 and doesn’t know any of the social norms or culture surrounding heterosexual subculture.
This of course has lead to many fun revelations like that heterosexuals are all participating in a D/s kink dynamic that’s been so normalized it’s treated as vanilla and considered opt-out rather than opt-in.
But recently I’ve noticed a very funny thing which is that straight men love to fantasize about controlling what women wear. It’s just so common that they love women to be their little dolls who they dress up the way they like as a show of exerting power over them. But they also refuse to actually learn anything about women’s clothing or fashion because that would be gay obviously. So the outfits they come up with for women are 1. Hideous and 2. Impractical.
But the funniest example to me is the obsession with things and g-strings that we especially see in the 00s and early 10s. Men will be like “yeah it’s so hot if a woman just only wears thongs all the time like oh she’s being cheeky and naughty and nobody even knows” and they seem to think that the reason to wear underwear with more coverage is for…. Modesty?
I hate to break to you boys but the reason to wear underwear with more coverage than a thong is to prevent butt acne. If your underwear doesn’t provide enough coverage and there’s a lot of friction (for instance from some very tight booty shorts) then you’re going to get ingrown hairs all over your butt and the back of your thighs. And that is not going to be as sexy as in your fantasy of making “your” woman wear only thongs and G-strings.
Anyway I’ll continue to report my anthropological findings as they become funny to post
