For the second comment, if the bow is there to please men and infantilize women, why don't you just buy a pair that doesn't have the bow? I'm all for calling out sexism and over sexualization, but i think this is just a case of capitalism being capitalism. Panties with bows probably just sell better to a significant demographic of women.
I mean there are Boxers that look a certain way too, like a little suit for example. Same decorative stance to make the underwear look a certain way inviting.
Not gonna lie, i consider that little button and flap aesthetic. 99% of the time i just pull the elastic down. Its easier and faster than fiddling with some button and pulling my bits through the hole
