It's just an advertisement or commercial appealing to other Americans...what is the big deal. Why cannot everyone just live and let live? Enjoy each day and forget all this stuff

Silly me. Was brought up that men wear clothes made for men and vice versa.

Have we lost the right to have an opinion? Did the memo go into my spam folder?

The Alphabet Group are one strange cast of characters. If War ever comes to our front door, this country is toast.

Sounds like something else I won't research into since it didn't affect my life so far.

Well, there's always Nike to fall back on. Oh, I forgot. Another on the no-no list.

Why is everyone so worried about what men or women wear... Most people need to open their minds and stop living in a little box. I am all for people being to wear what they want.

Making a mountain out of a mole hill. The advertisers are probably aiming at a group of purchasers other than you would find here in The Villages. Same with the beer.

This is so ridiculous. Who cares and how does this affect you? I guess the real question is why is the OP on the adidas female swimsuit page? Or did he have to seek this out in order to post it. And btw, it’s always the same 4 people who do these things.

Astounding that there exist people who want to wear interesting styles, and don't really care to assign "menswear" or "womenswear" labels to the designs. AND that companies who manufacture garments recognize this, and try to INCLUDE those people in their marketing campaigns.

Seems to me that some folks are just annoyed because they know that they will NEVER look that good in those garments. If they can't rock a full-torso men's swimsuit, then no one should be allowed.

Sad, sad people.

(or maybe they're secretly turned on by it and they're not comfortable with their own inner desires, so they'd rather just not have to see it, instead of acknowledging that it's OKAY to appreciate beauty in all forms)
