So you're never alone...
I'm not sure if anyone's posted about this horrific Brazilian lingerie line, which features GPS tracking devices.
Lingerie maker Lucia Lorio of Brazil says her design targets the 'modern, techno-savvy woman.' The lingerie combination set consists of lace bodice, bikini bottom and faux pearl collar, with the GPS device nestled in the see-through part of the bodice next to the waist. 'This collection... is a wink to women and a challenge to men because, even if she gives him the password to her GPS, she can always turn it off,' Lorio said.
Ew.

I looked up a couple different articles on this, and I read about the objections, and I honestly don't have a problem with it. It's tacky, and the lingerie itself looks kind of ugly, and the whole thing is way overpriced, but I don't think it's offensive or anti-feminist.
People were calling it a "chastity belt" that could be used by insecure and abusive men to monitor their wives and girlfriends. Of course, the woman can still turn it off, and if the relationship is already abusive I don't think $1000 panties are going to change anything.
And, if you're going somewhere where you don't want to be tracked, you would always wear different underwear?
It's creepy, but I don't think it's offensive.
I think that could make for one awesome sex game. Kinda like Ultimate Geocaching. ;)
I suspect it'd be used abusively more often though. :(
