Underwear on QVC

Carla was selling lots of different "shapewear". Such things used to be called "foundation garments" but that was a long time ago, and they often included stocking suspenders. Some, without suspenders, were called "girdles." My grandmother wore them. Carla's suggestions still looked uncomfortable. Shoehorning yourself into them must be quite an accomplishment. If someone should put their arm around your waist, heaven forbid your bottom, they'd get an electric shock. Maybe not a bad thing for some cheeky git trying to feel you up.

I just watched the clip of the dancer and the singer (I don't watch Strictly so don't know the names) on the news and thought of this post.

"Joke" or not the dancer must be a great actress to pull off that expression before plastering her game face back on. She looked like she wanted to slap him! And the amount of times I had to do the "squirm" to get away from a bloke trying to feel me up when I was younger was certainly no joke. That looked like a real squirm to me, though mine were usually from a man whose hands were travelling further north.

I hope it was a joke as brushing that behaviour off just to appease BBC bosses would give off so many bad messages to chancers willing to ignore a woman's obvious annoyance/discomfort.

Bring on electric knickers! And barbed bras.

Quite a few years ago I volunteered at the local women's refuge where I was told of a new product that was meant to catch rapists. The woman telling me about it was from South Africa where many women including herself used it every day. It's a plastic device that's smooth on the outside but has teeth on the inside. It's inserted into the ****** where it sits pretty harmlessly until removed. However, if a woman is raped the rapist removes his penis which is now sporting a fetching little silicone sleeve that he has to go to a doctor to get removed as the rows of teeth dug into the flesh as he pulled it out. The decent doctors informed the police.

The woman said that rape was so common there that women managed to get hold of these devices before they were supposed to have been officially released and that it was quite a good deterrent. I'm not surprised!

Very interesting post. I wonder what the outcome will be re the opera singer (Evan?) and the dancer. I watched it live, but I didn't take heed of their names. Another complaint is how one of the dancers (Vito) was unmercifylly stroking, hugging, and smooching his dance partner as they waited for the results. It was not nice to watch. How desperate must life be for some women in South Africa who fear rape on a daily basis. Serve the men right if they lose/damage their Willie's.

There was a joke on Woman's Hour today, that next week, the opera singer will have developed a sprained ankle (according to the BBC) and won't be on.
 
Travelling on the rush hour London tube daily was an on-going game of “dodge the groper”. 🤚🏼

My preferred method of defence was to tread fairly and squarely on the perp’s foot with my 3 inch heels. 👠

My sister once grabbed an offending hand by the wrist, raised it to shoulder level and said loudly “who does this hand belong to” ?
 
Way back when I worked in the city centre, one lunchtime I was walking down Royal Ave. Out of nowhere, this man came from behind me and through his arm around me. I threw his arm off and shouted F*ck Off at him. He started shouting abuse at me, well he picked the wrong woman as I just gave him as good and better than he was shouting. People were stopping to look. I just walked on.

A lady where I used to walk our dogs, used to live in London. Early one evening a man jumped out of a bush, I’m front of her and startled the dog -
Who bit him hard. The lady reported it to the police, as her dog had been startled and was not vicious The Met tracked the man down to a local hospital and he was then charged with 7 tapes on women. Her dog got an award
 
Many years ago before we married we had been to the local fair with a group of our friends.
We were walking back home and my shoe felt a bit uncomfortable and I stopped to shake a bit of grit out.
Now the others were about five steps from me when a car pulled up with a couple of men in. I just jumped up screamed and the boys came running up and the car shot off.
It happened so quick no-one had time to get a number plate but I was so glad they weren't far away and my dad a policeman at the time always told me to make as much noise as I could if I was scared of anything.

I saw a clip on an old episode of Have I got news for you. A man broke in to a house with a little old lady inside, I think it was in America. Unfortunately she could do martial arts and she threw him to the floor and beat the crap out of him! She only looked about 7 stone.
