Taiwanese Firm Hosts Employee Lingerie Day.

I would have relations with the woman pictured.

maybe it's just me, but i've noticed that the vast majority of women who complain that seeing the female body as beautiful and something to show off is demeaning are either obscenely overweight or twig-like with nothing to show off.

if they weren't pressured, hey, why not?

What's the big deal?
I always wear my camisole to work.

Now THAT is our kind of company.

Taiwan, here we come!

Did their slave-labor factory workers also get to wear some lingerie? SWEEET!

I like to have sex with cats!

I like to eat chicken naked! The chicken, not me!

meg i couldn't agree more!

anyway, that corset/lace-up cami she's wearing is beautiful...

sigh. me and corsets.

On a side note: the quality of commenting here on Neatorama has been on a steady decline. I've been here about a year and each month sees more inane and tiresome commentary over the most innocent articles.

Yay women not being upset by people actually enjoying their bodies. American women have such a fucked up sense of themselves.

Meg...and I've noticed that people who make facile, sweeping generalizations don't have brains enough to fill a spoon.

The problem with women dressing in sexy ways at work is that men (surprise, surprise) view them as sex fantasies not respected co-workers. (Hell, men tend to do that anyway.)

Even highly educated, highly-skilled women in Japan are still expected to act subservient at work (serving tea, etc.) That women agreed means only that they didn't feel they could say no (and that they seemed excited could in part have been giggling embarassment.)

So wait did they have to bring their own or did they get camis for free? Cause I'd be all over that deal.

If the guys had to wear the camisoles and panties, too, it wouldn't be so bad. Spread the embarrassment around a bit! Otherwise, it just smacks of sexism. I'm sure there's no "tighty-whities" day.

The women in that company are probably confident and attractive I guess. It would be like highschool all over again, a mass mob of people doing the same thing. Although yes, I think it would be alot more acceptable if the men were told to do that too.

Lol Acedia didn't you just make a sweeping generalisation yourself by saying that men view women as sex fantasies?

Where do we apply? ;D

In another news, the males working in that firm were advised to wear underwear that day.

isn't every mans' sex fantasy a room (or in this case, an entire office building) full of skantilly clad asian women?

i guess it would have been gender neutral if the men had to wear something comparable... but men just don't look hot in lingerie. maybe they should have shaved their bodies and wore man-thongs. that would have been an interesting day...

What better way to show of your product with free advertisement? No one was forced to participate, so get off your high horse people!

Besides if you're trying to sell clothes, do you really think it would help to have a 250+ lb guy walking around in women panties?

Yes she did Jess, though by her own admission she doesn't have enough brains to fill a spoon. Shame, really. As to you, Acedia, I did not make a generalization. I stated an observation ("I've noticed"). Though I am glad that you can admit your own mental ineptitude, do not accuse others of things that you alone are guilty of.

For the record, I'm an attractive young, confident woman who would not in the whole world ever be caught wearing only a camisole and underwear to work. It has nothing to do with finding the female body beautiful and worthy of appreciation, but has everything do with the fact that this occurred at a WORKPLACE. Where people are supposed to be WORKING, not appreciating each other's bodies. It is totally inappropriate to be wearing only underwear at work. It is also totally inappropriate for the management to be creating a sexually charged atmosphere in the workplace. Not to mention how sexist it is that only the women were asked to wear lingerie.

Women's bodies are worthy of admiration. So are men's. It's telling that only women are routinely expected/asked to show off their curves.

Oh, brother.
It's in Taiwan - you expect equal treatment?

These people work around lingerie all day. They're probably less uptight and more desensitized to the idea of wearing lingerie. Plus, it sounds like they had fun. Heaven forbid people should have fun.

I agree, it is a workplace, but so are swimming pools, strip clubs, Hooters, and plenty of other places where women don't wear business suits.

Sure it's sexist, but it's just as sexist to blame the men for this. Maybe if enough women had said "no", they would have cancelled it.

If both the males and the females wore just underwear they would be out of business in 9 months when 450 women were out on maturnity leave. ;-)

They were thinking long-term . . . good play.

P.S. This was just advertising. It worked well for them. Sort of like link-bait.

Hey atalanta0jess, would you please stop running off at the mouth and send me a photo of you in a camisole?

Oh, and make me a sandwich while you're at it.

You know you love it.
