Now I've mentioned the 'p' word I seem to have intensified my apparent interest in 'p' and am now getting ads for dirty, worn and teen ones!
Now as a kink I'm not exactly in a position to cast aspersions, chuck stones or hurl grubby knickers, but my only interest in such garments is putting them on and having them lowered

Well, I got sidetracked into feminism and got some interesting ads from Google - links to feminism, gender politics and panties - panties??? I'm not even into panties - As a true Brit it's knickers for me anyway!

In my comment to trolly I referred to the film of Rosie - Rosie was actually an icon created to encourage women into industry. The film I found so moving was actually Connie Field's "The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter" - A look at the 'real' Rosies and what became of them. Link and summary below.

Connie Field, The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter (1980)

During World War II, an unprecedented number of American women responded to government encouragement to enter the high-paying world of heavy war-production industry. Women who had worked at pink-collar jobs, or in lower-paying women's industrial jobs, flocked to war production work as an opportunity to learn new skills and make higher wages. The documentary The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter presents these women's experiences as they developed throughout the war years, and after, when the men came marching home. Some of the valuable elements of the film are interviews with several of the women who entered war production work.
