it always makes me cringe and a little nauseous. i 1000% prefer "underwear".
i cringe at it MUCH more when guys say it, rather than other women, especially in a sexual manner.
i feel like this could be something that stemmed from childhood since its the term my dad would always use and i just began to resent it more and more over time.
The biggest fight I've witnessed between my brother and SIL was over her and her family calling my toddler niece's underwear her "panties" lol
I remember as a kid fighting with my grandma about it too! She insisted girls have panties and I said it's underwear!! I think even then I was creeped out by the term because it seems to sexualize more. Like if you want to call it that for a mature woman go ahead, but why on a child??
Yes, there's just something icky and off about the word. Like its not offensive obviously, but its not a nice word. I prefer underwear, undies or knickers.
Me too! It's bc it's used as a derogatory remarkβ¦.keep your panties onβ¦it was a pantie dropperβ¦lame work now
Panties sounds creepy and borderline paedophilic to me.
Yeah the word just feels creepy
I hate hate HATE that word. I'm a grown butt woman - I wear underwear, not "panties". "Undies" mayyyyybe. "Briefs" or "drawers" are fine, though. The P word is infantilizing.

It's mostly used in a mildly sexual way from what I've heard but our pair of comments here is basically the Reddit comments summarized, without the outrage. It's obviously got different regional connotations.

When would someone even use porch monkey in a non sexual way?

TV ads use the word "panty liner."
Panties is as sexual as "briefs" and "boxers."

Yeah, this is a weird wank but I love it, another normal English convention for wokescolds to get angry and call people misogynists/pedos over.
