I understand what she is saying, but…in a perfect world us men would be wearing these same outfits and not thinking about it. Over the last few years, I’ve taken to wearing compression tights while working out, biking, or even when I’m rock climbing. You know what? I can COMPLETELY understand why women love their Lulus and otherwise. I use to wear shorts over my man tights to hide the fact that my ass is perfectly framed and lifted, but these days I don’t care.
I use to get strange looks wearing them, but it is getting to be normal attire at the gym wearing these. It is actually far more sexist that more men don’t wear these and that the male body has to be cloaked as opposed to wearing clothing that supports, compresses, and massages the muscles. If I were a videogame character, I’d DEMAND something as form fitting and natural as what most of these women were shown wearing…
I know… My point was that the commoditisation of sexuality makes no sense from the usual supply/demand rhetoric of market wanquery. There is lots of body-work people do for their routine hygiene and maintenance, sex doesn’t seem any different. That’s why I compare it to brushing teeth, because that’s something most people don’t have neurotic taboos over.
Why do I have to be out of likes now…
Well that is one interesting costume…,like oh well yeah I could go for thatwaitthatsaguy… I can just see all the gamerbros questioning their ‘masculinity’ over it and feeling uncomfortable.
Personally I think it is sexy but I feel the same way I feel about the women’s costumes, oooh nice but is that actually functional?
I think this is more the problem I have with some of the outfits. Form fitting is VERY functional. Belts and straps and cutouts? Not so much. The Lora Croft outfit? Looks pretty close to what a lot of my friends wear when we go camping for a week. Then again, the latest release – Rise Of The Tomb Raider – seems much more useful.
That said, I’m still f’n angry about the fact that someone who claims to be an archaeologist runs around destroying site after site making Indy look like an amateur demolitionist.
