Because you can't suck in your bingo arms

Butts! Boobs! Thighs! Tummies! Once upon a time, I suppose women probably had entire bodies with which to work. Today, we're more like hastily cobbled-together pieces of human that roughly make up whatever the definition of "woman" is. Watching porn, you'd think we're all vaginas and tits. Reading fashion mags, we're butts and thighs (that must be slimmed). And now we can add arms to the girl-parts that are isolated, idolized and problematized.
I speak of Flabuless: shapewear for your arms.
To me, "before" and "after" just look like "no sleeves" and "sleeves," but maybe I'm missing something. Like eyeballs. Check out the copy:
"For decades, women have hidden this trouble spot under baggy blouses and oversized blazers, cringing at the thought of clingy tops or, GASP, sleeveless tanks. Well, now you can bid farewell to dowdy sweatshirts and kiss your husband's old polos goodbye!"
Is Flabuless an exercise program? A diet regimen? Nope. It's an article of clothing. So if you had a problem hiding your trouble spots under blouses and blazers, now you're just going to have a problem hiding your trouble spots under arm-leotards.
