Infantilizing Women -- Literally

[Anonymous]

We were at a sports venue recently and were forced to watch a big screen TV with women's flag football on it. The women were using mouth guards that were outside of their mouths, with rings on them. They looked exactly like pacifiers. Can you imagine grown a** male athletes using mouth guards that looked like pacifiers??? It was horrifying. Is that really the only way women's sports can get funded -- if it titillates men? Gross.

Huh? this is just a weird trend for both genders. I don't think anyone is doing it to titillate anyone. (one might question why you think its titillating at all)

It's kind of gross that athletes handle their mouthguards during the game. Their hands are repeatedly touching the ground/ball. It's gross.

The ring on the mouthguard is way more sanitary.

I am sure that weighs heavily on their minds when it comes to personal safety.

Yep. Part of the "baby girl/Daddy Dom" bg/DD kink that's popular with younger women under 35 these days, zoomer and younger age especially.

Bikinis are adult, not infant wear.

Pacifiers, footie PJs, etc. are child like and infantizing though.

Ah, yeah, sorry, I read that as bikini and not binkie. Never heard of "binkie" and had to look it up. Now I know.

I have always found toddler bikinis to be really cringy and in questionable taste.
