....why...do you not think she doesn't buy different panties? It's the first woman's photo, and they're not even necessarily hers either. I seriously need to understand your thought process here.
My thought process is that she is insinuating something from those bows that doesnt seem based in reality. Its far more likely that the panties have a bow because its cute and aesthetically pleasing than it is big panty pushing an infantizing agenda.
But you specifically referred to the reply, and specifically asked why she's buying them when there is zero indication she does, and she uses the word infantilize, a generally negative word.
"If you don't like it, you don't have to buy it"
Paired with the idea that it might not be that serious, and it's just a product that's sold to people who will buy it, I think he makes sense here.
