The compilation of her interviews with Craig are an utter delight.

Ladies, no one is stopping you from whipping them out.

Except other ladies. And creepy dudes. And back pain. And gravity.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah, gravity, my arch nemesis (I have a disability that makes me fall over a lot. I also have boobs)

[–] OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Your ARCH nemesis.

I'll see my way out, thank you.

Did somebody manage to make Arch the BTW edition?

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Don't forget sweat.

[–] greenskye@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I think this is probably true now, but wasn't true even 20 years ago.

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 61 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As a man, I think this is a excellent opportunity for me to mansplain things.

[–] lseif@sopuli.xyz 45 points 2 years ago (1 children)

for the women who are confused: 'mansplaining' is short for 'man explaining'. hope this helps!

This used to be a joke about how women are intellectually inferior and easily distracted. It was meant sarcastically, but as some asshats actually believe these things, I've decided to remove my comment.

Instead, please enjoy this limerick:

Once a man, his wit astray,
Misogyny in words, led him away.
Regret took its toll,
He sought a kinder role,
Apologies now pave his new day.

dont forget their favorite pasttime of raising children. i dont expect them to know as much as us men.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 56 points 2 years ago (4 children)

He also says "they wear them" when the question was if they like them. The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Make him wear a bra and ask if he likes it, then interrupt him and say he is wearing one.

[–] snooggums@kbin.social 75 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I assumed he was setting her up for the punchline of repeating the question about whether they like to wear them. It comes across as self deprecating humor at his own expense while reinforcing her point.

[–] Soulg@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Yeah him speaking up made the moment way funnier.

But also man talked, bad man bad

[–] Neato@kbin.social 38 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ask him if he likes wearing a tie. I don't know anyone who actually enjoys the process of wearing one, just being seen in one. Little garrotes are uncomfortable.

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But I like looking dapper 😔

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes but do you like wearing them, aside from social interactions? Do you relax at home fully suited up where nobody sees you?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fun fact: the first modern brassiere was two jock straps sewed together.

[–] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

That's kind of a jock strap.

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I know a guy who likes to wear bras.

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I know a guy who likes to wear pants

[–] Zess@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Wrong. His original question to her was if she wore one, then she turned to the audience and asked the ladies if they liked wearing them. He thought she was about to ask if they wore bras and preemptively said "they wear them."

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 47 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This morning I stood there almost completely dressed and then I thought,

I should wear a bra. But I don't want to wear a bra. But if I don't wear a bra I will be walking around with my hands curled in so my forearms obscure my chest, all day long walking around curled up like an insecure T-Rex because that's how I posture myself when I don't wear a bra.

If OTOH I do wear a bra I can walk like a normal person, which will retain my self-esteem so although I don't want to wear a bra, I put one on anyway.

[–] ax_xa@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago

An insecure T-Rex is cute while also being extremely dangerous.

Before he moved to the BBC, Graham Norton had a late 90s/early 2000s show on Channel 4, which (amongst other things) featured random shit off the internet.

I swear, half the weird internet stuff would be prefaced with 'So, Carrie Fisher sent me this email- '.

Are bras uncomfortable like underwear is for guys? I.e. i don't really love wearing it, but if I just let things flap around it's kinda a mess.

[–] GnomeKat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

am trans woman, hav boobies and pp... have worn both in my life. bras are infinitely worse than underwear

[–] The_Ferry@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Trans people out here doing the research the rest of us are too afraid to truly do

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can't relate to how men's underwear feels, but bras are super uncomfortable. I only wear sports bras and I still hate them. It's harder to breathe- there's a constant pressure around the rib cage.

I only wear them when I have to, and even then sometimes I'm like: "fuck it, I'll deal with the looks" (mostly from other women who are with men- and my tits are small!)

[–] Shou@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Soprts bras are the way. I hate em too, but they are the least shitty option. I messed up my ribcage wearing wrong bras.

[–] wildwhitehorses@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Love wearing a bra. The only time I don't is whilst in water. The pain of not wearing one is ridiculous. That being said, some bras are just awful and uncomfortable and you need the right one, or two, for the right occasion. I hate wearing pants though and will happily wear nothing but a bra in my own house.

[–] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Only thing I know about bras is some have wires which can literally stab you when you wear them.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What is that disembodied hand around her throat in the third pane?

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Just her neck and some streak of light.

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 years ago

I think that's called "skin"

[–] iheartneopets@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I was just listening to her book Wishful Drinking this evening! The Princes Diarist is next. She was such a funny, insightful writer. Her dark humor regarding pregnancy is especially good and cathartic for the phase of life I'm in now.

A wonderful voice was lost when she passed.
