Women half-naked in pseudo workout gear shopping at Whole Foods?

[Anonymous]

So you wear only a sports bra into the store because it's a hot day? Why not wear a bikini?

Yoga pants are fine, but I'm talking 90% of their boob area popping out of skimpy, thin top. They purposefully walk through the frozen aisle so you can see everything. It's seems weird and definitely attention seeking.

Could this be like a guerrilla marketing stunt, hoping random WF shoppers photo or video the women in Whole Foods, to make whatever brand the curvy women are wearing go viral?

I think the line just moves with the culture but the complainers always sound exactly the same whether they’re talking about women showing cleavage, ankles, or their hair. Or wearing pants. Or whatever. So I’m just always going to err on the side of not policing women’s bodies. Honestly if the culture evolves to have nipples out in the grocery store, I’m perfectly capable of adapting to that. It’s just bodies! There’s nothing about other people’s bodies that ruins my day or compels me to do any crimes or anything like that.


Omg I just lied. Bare feet on the airplane gives me HIVES. But I am far enough away in the grocery store to deal with it if I have to.

Are you going to do this after Republicians install project 2025 ie calling police on women who won't wear head coverings because that is where we are headed you idiots.

It's funny, because they're also probably so racist they'd hate head coverings too. We as women can only wear the exact outfit as prescribed by them. Not too much skin showing, because that's racy and they can't control themselves, but not too covered, as they wont be able to objectify us and blame outfits for rape. Such a struggle for them to find that middle ground!

You might want to relax. The OP simply asked why so many women have decided not to wear clothes while shopping at Whole Foods. Apparently the answer is fashion. No one is asking you to cover your head; they are asking why you don't wear common clothing like shirts. Apparently it's very important to you to wear as little clothing as possible and feeling victimized if anyone notices.

Assuming you're at least upper middle class, why are you wasting free time grocery shopping when you can afford delivery or curbside? It all suggests you're very thirsty and desperate for attention, which, at your advanced age, is especially pathetic.

That is an even weirder take than this post. Lots of people in their 40s go grocery shopping.

The pathetic women with this fashion aesthetic are tacky, try to portray themselves as filthy rich, and always pretend they're so busy. If you're so rich and busy, why are you in Whole Foods? They go "shopping" like this solely to attention seek. They get off on it.

Fashion evolves. Get over it.

Cool. Since women don't need to wear clothes because we dont police clothes, I take it neither do men?

So an exhibitionist middle aged man with a beer gut is welcome at the grocery store with speedos on, getting the excuse that it's summer out and shorts are less comfortable, and mind your business?

They're probably not shopping, just popping in for a cold bar salad after yoga or pilates.

Yeah. Literally don't care what someone wears. I'm more concerned with non service animals in grocery stores than midriffs and thighs.

I am so glad you brought up bare feet on airplanes, because social media is full of people complaining about that and I'm sure many of the gym clothing women are doing the complaining. How is that any different? We aren't talking about shaming bodies; there is a level of disagreement about what level of clothing/covering is appropriate in depending on the public space. These norms evolve.

I don’t shop at WF but this is what I’ve been noticing around the neighborhood. Just a sports bra and spandex bottoms of varying length is the full outfit, not clearly exercising, or on the way to or from exercising.

Shoes are literally listed on the door though. And they are required for both sexes.

Most say shirts and shoes. Bras are not a shirt.

Shirts are also listed on the door. I could argue that my ankle-to-toe bracelet constitutes shoes for me.

OP didnt say bra. She said psuedo workout gear. In the thread she is referencing it was discussed as crop tops and shorts I believe.

I'm not sure how you think a bracelet is in any way a shoe, but interesting.
