Well-Endowed Super Women

Ladies, Don’t let these new ladies' underwear sets, licensed by Marvel, fool you, real super powers are all in your head. Although, the idea is a totally sweet one, I find the execution of these sets completely ridiculous and uncomfortably sexist. Airbrushed cleavage “bursting” at the seams and tiny infant sized waistlines are sending the wrong message to the self-conscious, comic-book-reading,14-year-old girl in all of us. If you want to be a real she-hulk use your brainy super powers and pick up something by Bell Hooks. Better yet, start a girl revolution of your own and arm yourself with this adorable and empowering Wonder Woman cami set from the BUST boobtique!

ick. i never understood the appeal of a 3 inch waist, let alone a 3 inch waist paired with double d's, and on a t-shirt now, no less.

Good lord....I stumbled on this rubbish today and cannot believe people have time to devote thought and time to such trivial rubbish. If you actively look for anything that is remotely sexist and spend your own and others time by asking people to comment isn't really helping the cause. I think there is alot of sex selling products in our world, but you need to spend less time on this and cone trays on TV, pop music, videos films and toys that teach both little boys and girls that that everything has to be sexy. Now put down the small fry issues to produce pathetic column inches and start getting stuck into a heartier subject. Tut tut stories won't change the world. But they will pay your mortgage if you pump out enough rubbish eh?
