Otherkinsey Scale posted:On the other hand, there is no appropriate way to express attraction to someone specifically because they had to put their hair in pigtails and wear daisy dukes, because that is infantilizing. Is Daisy Duke somehow an infantile character? Like, if your argument is that it’s sexist, then sure. But as I recall, the iconography of that character is that of a voluptuous adult woman, like a pinup calendar. I’m not defending anyone creeping on Janet, but I don’t think she was supposed to look underage or childlike. It wasn’t a schoolgirl uniform. D’Arcy Carden is 38.

LividLiquid posted:As it's told now, she always seduces the stranger whose car broke down; not the other way around. This is my context for the archetype, as well. Daisy Duke isn’t specifically the point, though. What I’m saying is that I object to the suggestion that a woman in “revealing” clothing is somehow infantilized or disempowered inherently. As if she can’t possibly have sexual agency unless she’s dressed like a lawyer or something.

I'm pretty convinced they'll get there eventually. "The Good Place" isn't all that great, because Hell is Other People and whatnot.
