Last night, I retweeted this tweet and started a firestorm of funny on Twitter. It is actually hilarious to me how something so insignificant can morph into what ended up being an hour-long discussion on women’s undergarments.

"Oh wow! Matching is FUN!"

In fairness, I will say that DJ Phaze (who is actually one of my favorite DJs, so you really need to download his mixes cuz they are EVERYTHING) said that the tweet was taken out of context and he is most assuredly on #TeamEitherWayWeF*ckin. I’m glad to know that.

But according to the barrage of tweets that followed in reaction to this, apparently, the fact that this was even brought up means that there are some men out there that actually care whether or not a woman’s brassiere matches her pannydrawls. REALLY? And allegedly, whether or not they match can be a determining factor when it comes to the quality of a woman’s vagina. Also, said underwear should only come from proper PannyDrawls Sellers like Victoria’s Secret or La Perla.

My mind. It is boggled.

While I know that men are visual creatures and *yada yada yada on down the line*, I don’t think that in the concurrent histories of underwear and sexual relations has a man ever decided at the site of blue-polka dotted panties from TJ Maxx paired with a pink stripped bra from Lane Bryant that there will be no smangin‘. I’m no certified Legacy Checker or Historical Knower, but I’d bet all of the $3 in my purse that it is a non-factor. I submit to you, good people, that the man that actually gives a hot buttered damn about anything more than whether or not the lady bits are so fresh n’ so clean isn’t all that interested in the lady’s bits from the start. That’s my word.

I also submit to you that because there is no male equivalent of such a “grown woman rule”, this was yet more Bee-Ess made up by some man in another sexist incident of female body policing. As if there isn’t enough of that going around. Can’t men just wait to be invited to our drawls before throwing around their opinions about them? Damn. Some of ya’ll act ya’ll gotta wear them. Jesus Children of America. iCan’t.

As The XD Experience so eloquently put it last night…

Welp.
