Audrey Ference on how people freak out at the sight of panties<\/a>:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so 101 that it\u2019s tedious, and yet the fact that women\u2019s bodies are not the problem never quite sinks all the way in with some people. The response always seems to be like, but panties! What if I saw a girl\u2019s panties, I can\u2019t be held responsible for driving if there are panties around! When there are billboards full of women in panties all over the highway, but more importantly, grow up. Women are people, people in bodies, bodies that need to get from place to place, in public. Clothes shift. Shirts gap. Skirts blow up in the wind. Clothes that are culturally normative don’t cover every inch of skin from every possible angle. I can\u2019t tell you how many times I\u2019ve been \u201ccorrected\u201d by some stranger when I\u2019m in a skirt (and not a short skirt, not that it matters, but I\u2019m talking knee length plus, here) because someone below me on the subway stairs could see my underpants up my skirt. Here\u2019s a thought: instead of me wearing only loose-fitting, long pants and long sleeved, high-necked shirts, maybe don\u2019t look up my skirt while I\u2019m on the staircase! Or if you do, fucking deal with it! It\u2019s just underpants! You’ve seen them before! They’re not going to kill you!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
