named the Ada Collection after the world’s first female programmer, Ada Lovelace. I wonder if Ada is related to Linda, another women who knew how to get ahead in life.

To describe Lovelace as “the first female programmer” does her a serious disservice. She worked on the Babbage machine in the mid 19th century! She is one of the first, if not THE first, programmers, PERIOD.

“I think a lot of traditional lingerie photo shoots depict women as simply standing there looking sexy, Sygiel said in an interview with Time. “They’re not always in a position of power and control.”
Well, we could have her hiking a football in lingerie, or operating a jackhammer, or sitting at her executive desk barking orders at her suited male underlings. I don't know if any of those "project power" in the way these feminists want.
How else do you model lingerie?!

Guess What?
Men are not always in a position of power and control. Some of us are workers. There’s nothing wrong with that. Stop complaining.

A feminist can never be happy. They define themselves by their hatred of things.

One of their lines is called “queen size.” Women come in many body types. And a lot of queen size women would like to buy pretty under things.
I will agree, having one queen size woman amidst a bunch of gorgeous models makes that one queen size woman stand out. Few offices are staffed exclusively by pretty young things. In a normal office, there would be a more normal range of women by age and body type. In such a mix, a queen size women who has a friendly personality, who dresses well, and wears appropriate make-up can fit in. Having said these things, yes, some of us could lose a few pounds.
You need to be careful that your “affirmative action plan” doesn’t spotlight any one person. Tokenism might not be completely avoidable. But, in the end, we’d all like to be appreciated for the total person that we are.

Wouldn’t that be misandry to be correct ?
