I mean, I agree the comment is mostly ragebait or not serious. However, I wanted to mention that you may be underestimating how large a proportion of women's knickers have this bow. I usually cut them off, as they are just annoying, but honestly in my experience, the vast majority of knickers have this.
How I felt reading this comment
bouta link that entire speech from New Girl about how it's okay to like pretty things haha
It is indeed OK to like pretty things. But the bows are sort of a visible lump on the front, if I'm wearing leggings/ soft trousers/ dress.
There are plenty of bowless underwear available online and at most retailers from several brands. If women stopped buying the bow the market wouldn't be so flooded with them. There's definitely a lot out there with the bow but i doubt it would be hard to find basic underwear without the bow. If you want more lacey and floral designs, i could see it being harder to find bowless underwear.
There are 100% tons of people who completely unironically believe that shit and are vocal about it. On here, even, plenty of them.
They act just like racists do. Whatever you talk about it always comes back to immigrants and how bad they are.
