Feminists around the world have reacted with horror to a new line of lingerie that comes equipped with a GPS tracking system.
The 'find me if you can' range of underwear has been described as a modern-day, high-tech chastity belt. 'It is outrageous to think that men can buy this, programme it and give it to their partners and then monitor them,' said Claudia Burghart, leader of a Berlin feminist group.
'It is nothing more than a chastity belt for insecure men.'
Lingerie maker Lucia Lorio of Brazil says her design targets the 'modern, techno-savvy woman'.

I don’t see the feminist issue here. It’s not like anyone would be forced to wear them. I think it’s a clever idea.
I’d like a GPS on my wallet, keys and golf balls.
Ah, but the ones who clamor for “choice” for women also want to be the authority on what “choices” women are offered!
I don’t see what the fuss is all about. The man who can afford the roughly $1000-1400 price tag (depending upon GPS model) can afford to buy himself another lady friend if the first one steps out on him.
The trick is to be there when he’s lookin. ;o)
I’d like to put GPS on my tax payments.
You’re right about the choice to buy or not to buy; and it was designed by a woman.
But let a 13-year-old girl be stoned to death by 50 men for being raped, and it gets a big yawn by the feminists. Well, after all, she’s in a country far away, doesn’t vote here, and she’s a little black person, so no reason to see her as a democrat feminist issue.
Feminists don’t care about poor women. Feminists only care about woman like themselves, ya know, selfish bitches.
Plus, the article clearly states that the GPS systems can be TURNED OFF by the wearer. So, if the woman can only let her man see where she is when she wants to, how exactly is that a problem?
Wonder if it comes with POI’s already loaded?
