I'm also just cracking up at a married woman in her 40s doing the whole 'sexy Halloween' bit.

I mean, people have a right to dress as a sexy whatever they want whenever they want. No one has to age out of their feelin sexy side.

Edit: I just want to state that I'm not supporting what they decided to dress as, but just wanted to guff at the idea that you can't dress as a sexy [whatever] in your 40s

Sure, but she’s also the State’s Attorney for the next two months. It’s undignified. One thing about Ivan Bates, I don’t think we will see him dressing up like sexy Abe Lincoln, flipping off people at a bar or calling people hookers.

A sexy Abe Lincoln? That would be “interesting.” But don’t give him any ideas. He’s probably on this subreddit getting ideas on how to do his new job.

And Happy Cake-day!

Thiru would probably try that, though, although maybe just calling hookers instead of calling people hookers.

You know he went to his share of pimp-and-ho parties in college.

Yea but he was definitely the creepy guy in the corner that the girls gave a wide berth to.

Major “pantsless Ted Cruz in a smoking jacket walking the women’s floor at Princeton” vibes.

Oo I think I just found my costume!!

Oh my God, hahaha. YES. Those stories from Ted's college roommate were comedy gold and I def get similar vibes from our perennial loser.

Sexy Abe Lincoln, crude gestures, name calling.... One of these things is not like the other 🫠

All three are things that it’s embarrassing for your city’s indicted State’s Attorney to be doing. In addition to being bad at her actual job.

Sure it's just a trope that makes me laugh. Obviously she can wear whatever she wants. I can also laugh at that.

The trope that someone in their 40s wanting a sexy costume is funny? C'mon dude there are plenty of other things I'm sure you can find to roll your eyes at, especially with the Mosby's.

I'm not a dude, and honestly this has been a thing I've rolled my eyes at since college. Other women running around outside freezing to have a sexy outfit is just a funny demonstration of the patriarchy to me. I know, empowered by one's sexuality and all. To me, there was always a lot of pressure to buy into these kinds of costumes, and I never understood it.

You know, as much as I fault the patriarchy for many of the inequities in our society, it's also important to respect people's agency.

If someone wants to dress up in a sexy Halloween costume, let 'em and God Bless. Not my jam and obviously it's not yours either. But that's their choice and I might internally judge a bit but I'm never going to tell someone not to do it if it brings them joy and hurts literally no one.

If you're that concerned by the patriarchy, it doesn't help to tear other women down because they don't subscribe to your interpretation of feminism.

pbear737 t1_iua878q wrote

That's totally fair. I don't think having a laugh about something I find mildly funny is exactly tearing women down. But I agree I could keep that thought in my head rather than on a random internet thread.

It’s cringey as hell and you’re allowed to laugh at whatever the fuck you want.

Imax levels of projection going on here

pbear737 t1_iua8eog wrote

I don't even know what I'd be projecting. It's not my thing. I internally chuckle at it because it's funny to see people be freezing by choice. It's not really a big deal in my life.

FriedScrapple OP t1_iub3h4p wrote

No! You are not allowed to laugh! You must take your downvotes with great shame, because there is nothing funny whatsoever about a 40-something woman in a cringy-as-fuck costume.

Sexy doesn't stop after 40. I'm not saying this to support her in particular but as a general rule. I hope for you someone finds you sexy after 40.

pbear737 t1_iuar6q5 wrote

I never said sexy stopped at 40 or anything about someone finding someone sexy after 40. I think my thought may be getting lost in translation, but that's alright.

Classic. Ivan Bates and his wife should go as sexy FBI agent and sexy federal judge.
