  • it's pretty obvious

    the majority of costumes made to fit and marketed to women are almost always more revealing compared to their male counterparts

    • We're gross though

      You wouldn't want to see us uncovered.

      • The blogger says I can make of it what I want

        and tells me to "enjoy" his/her entries, but I don't feel like he/she means either of those things :(((((((((

    • Not always

  • Tagging everything with "sexism" and "costume" defeat the object of tagging a bit.

    And surely all the ones on the right are unisex?

    Steved | 25 Oct '12, 23:16 | X
    • they don't offer them in womens sizing

      georgiabeth @Steved | 25 Oct '12, 23:17 | X
      • Oh, so women have their own distinct sizing that has to be kept separate from men's now?

        Unbelievable. It's 2012, folks.

        DanielKelly @georgiabeth | 26 Oct '12, 09:17 | X
  • That female Brian from Family Guy one is rubbish.

    DaisyFlower | 25 Oct '12, 23:17 | X

        and I mean nobody, can pull off that costume apart from me....

        ....and my Burmese friend.

  • yeah at least the male ones look realistic

  • watermelon, hugh hefner, hamburger

    these aren't Halloween costumes.

    We're through the looking glass, people.

    mute-branches | 25 Oct '12, 23:22 | X
    • For some reason

      Halloween costumes in the US aren't always horror-themed – they can be anything. Remember the party in The Karate Kid where Daniel turns up dressed as a shower cubicle?

      joeymahone @mute-branches | 26 Oct '12, 09:41 | X
      • Sounds like a Psycho reference

        Smee @joeymahone | 26 Oct '12, 11:02 | X
  • Most of these aren't really halloween costumes

    Halloween costumes are ghosts, witches, zombies, that sort of thing. Not crayons, angels and chefs.

          gold jewellery on chest hair? phwoar.

          • You can't 'go' as a body bag

            and not demonstrably be in a bag. That's just ... I don't know. I'm too annoyed.

          • Also, this appears to be a Roman soldier and Xena, not a gladiator.

            • surely you had to really try very hard to miss the point that much

                Severed799 @ideserve2 | 26 Oct '12, 00:52 | X
            • the point is that it's really difficult to buy a female-sized costume that *isn't* the sexy version

              (apparently. i've never bought a premade halloween costume cos i'm well indie and also poor)

            if i had to pick, though, probably this one - http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbuz1n7u2N1rith1uo2_400.png - cos o' the big tits.

              Pissing and moaning about sexist costumes the one time of the year that it's fashionable to. Try living near one of the only remaining Walkabouts in London- it's drunken Australians in sexist costumes 365 round here.

              Saying shes working halloween so she'll 'have to find somewhere else to wear her slutty witch outfit ;)'. I've only met her twice, blimey. FWIW all the men in non sexist costumes look like plebs
