Is it from Mickey?

check username

I'm so fucking smart. Hi Mickey :)

I always wondered how they made pants that do this. Normally if you stretch material across two points it flattens across the span. Is this material just so thin that it doesn’t? Do they put a seam or darts in to intentionally pull it into the crack?

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's definitely designed to give you a voluntary wedgie. People pay for this.

[–] Mickey7@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Interesting that it's designed that way. From the front does it also give the wearer a moose knuckle?

[–] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I wondered the same, then my SO got one, it's a seam that makes it look real funny when not worn.

[–] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 day ago

It’s a seam that’s ‘pinched’ so to speak, right in the crack of the ass.

Funnily enough it looks like a vertically stretched asshole when not being worn.

[–] artifex@piefed.zip 7 points 1 day ago

Amazing. I’m not sure why I’m surprised.

Do they put a seam or darts in to intentionally pull it into the crack?

Yes. That and the garment might be undersized, while taking advantage of the high lycra/spandex content of the material.

I'm going to guess that the guy who took this picture is wearing a blue polo shirt, light khaki shorts, with a dark brown belt, loafers with no socks.

3 ... 2 ... 1 ... before it causes a shitstorm about sexualizing women

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 18 hours ago

*objectifying

[–] KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Honestly I find Lemmy to be generally sex positive as long as you don't objectify.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

hmm yeah i've a bit of trouble with the whole concept of "objectifying" because what does that really mean?

in my view, people are always both objects and subjects at the same time. it's like people have a body and a mind at the same time, because only having 1 of the 2 would be pointless.

[–] KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I think you might be taking the term a bit too literally. When people say objectifying, they don’t mean acknowledging or sexualizing their body. They mean reducing a person to just their body or sexual function, as if their mind, feelings, and autonomy don’t matter.

It’s when the body is treated as all there is. Think of the 1950s and '60s, women were often seen as existing primarily for reproduction or male pleasure, not as full people with their own goals, thoughts, or boundaries.

Sex positivity, by contrast, says: bodies are great, sex is great, but the other person remains a subject, someone with consent, desires, and dignity of their own. You can appreciate the body without erasing the person.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

huh i think that's a good explanation actually. i've had similar thoughts myself but didn't have the words for it so i called it "sexism II" (which you call "sex positivity") to differentiate it from "sexism I" (sexism). It might be silly but i didn't know how else to express myself.

I also think that it's noteworthy that the "reduction to a function" is something that happened to basically everyone in 1960, not just to women. Men were just as much "reduced" to being the "breadwinner", which is a function as well. I think that's not talked about as much because men don't tend to talk about "being reduced to a function" as much. Some kind of "society forbids to complain" or sth.

People that lead miserable empty lives can never grasp that something is just a joke

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

ehh, i tend to think that there's meaning in a lot of jokes

[–] Mickey7@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Good point. I recently went to see a stand up comedian. And while the rest of the audience was laughing I remained silent. I was focused on what exactly is the meaning of what the comedian was saying.
