If you are a guy and you haven't been to a lingerie shop recently its probably time. I noticed a very frightening trend. First let me say that my shopping there was to remind my valentine and wife that, yes pregnancy will pass. As such I wanted to get her some nice lace underwear. I was amazed at how hard it was.

The fundamental problem is that it seems the buyers at both Macy's and Victoria's Secret have decided that every woman on the planet needs bust enhancement from their undergarments. My wife certainly does not. Come to think about almost all of my friend's wives and fiancees have no need for wonder or lift and its not due to a plastic surgeon. Also, all of my women friends are thin, healthy, normal women who would likely look bizarre in something that "added." Maybe I'm in a strange control group but arguing against the grain that my male friends are just incredibly lucky is that all of my friends, both men and women, generally broke the grading curve at elite universities.

I couldn't even find something at Victoria's Secret and hence my wander through Macy's. It also wasn't like there were a bunch of empty racks where the "normal" bras should have been. This situation is a very interesting comment on American female body image as I know that most of these shops are not marketed for male shoppers. I would venture to guess that most men are like me and when they see bras that need nothing more to hold them up, they give up worried that fitting is going to be harder than putting together the "some assembly required" toys on Christmas Eve... Has our society just decided that everyone needs augmentation?
