Today I walked into Victoria's Secret

No, not a joke. Needed a new bra. Which I didn't get, because apparently the only bras they have in my size are push-up or padded numbers. WTF?

Anyway, as I was walking through this enormous shrine to boobage + all-that-is-supposed-to-be-sexy, my boobs weren't the only part of me feeling small. Almost immediately, the Victoria's Secret advertising started to invade my head. You know... the advertising that tells women to buy their stuff in order to be "sexy"+ become proper desirable women? And that without their stuff, women are not woman enough? Which is annoying, because I didn't have those goals when I walked in the store. I just wanted a bra to hold my boobs up.

This made me think about what it's like for men to buy underwear. Probably a little different, although I am not sure - having never been a man buying underwear.

Here are some other things that are probably a little different for many men. (Read the entire post for clarification. It's long, but good.) I post this not to piss on men (I love men and women and all variations thereof!), but as an interesting observation. I like interesting observations, and I think you might, too.
