Feminists that wear bras??

39 replies

user1496230232 · 04/06/2017 13:48

Just was interested to know if there are any feminists out there that wear bras. Personally I don't ever wear one why should I? I don't go around looking at men's nipples when they take their shirts off so they shouldn't look at mine through my shirt. My body is a natural beautiful thing and if people don't like it don't look.

The other day two people looked and was smiling, and a woman! Loudly said as I walked past no underwear! What is up with that. Haha it made my day I laughed all the way home.

I wear bra's unless i know i don't have to go out, there's something lovely about relaxing at home without one, but if i'm going out or have a busy day i definitely wear one, they're supportive and stops back pain x

Actually I do think it's a feminist issue.

People get very irked about a woman without a bra.

I detest bras but I do wear a soft cami top.

PickAChew · 05/06/2017 07:15

If I didn't wear a bra, I'd trip over them.

Bwahahahahhaah
Yes, the reason women wear bras is to stop men looking at their nipples or make them more shapely for the men to stare at.
Not because it's comfortable or anything.
Why have you put kisses at the end of your post? Did you really laugh all the way home?

I don't wear one as I've had a bilateral mastectomy. However, I do wear silicone prostheses as my body looks a bit weird with no breasts.

Soooo ask a bunch of feminists about the size of their breasts it's half term I suppose.

Exactly queen

'The op sounds as if it is trying to stir up a story where none exists...'

The Op sounds like someone wants a bunch of women to talk about their boobs.

I'm a feminist and I wear a bra. I also wear heels though very occasionally it's true. I also wear make up daily and remove all body hair. None of these things are related to my belief in equal rights

PicaPauAmarelo · 04/06/2017 14:49

I don't wear a bra because I don't want men looking at my nipples, I wear one because it's comfortable and supportive, same reason I wear shoes.

I didn't say it was linked.

It was implied in your title. And OP.

Latenightreader · 04/06/2017 14:23

Never occurred to me that I was wearing a bra for men. I wear one (or not) for comfort and shape of clothing. The op sounds as if it is trying to stir up a story where none exists...

WellErrr · 04/06/2017 14:21

What an odd thread.

Freshprincess · 04/06/2017 14:13

im guessing you've a very small cup size then. I'm GG. I don't hoik them up for the benefit of men. I wear a bra because I'm uncomfortable otherwise.

TheRollingCrone · 04/06/2017 14:10

Beasts? Breasts even

TheRollingCrone · 04/06/2017 14:09

Men? What have they got to do with what you do to your beasts?

Re-think your feminism OP

gamerchick · 04/06/2017 14:08

So basically you don't have much in the tit area and want to brag to those of us who have big tits and need support for comfort?

Batter on

Hayels · 04/06/2017 14:07

I'm a feminist with small boobs
I wear a bra because it gives me a better shape and makes clothes fall better which makes me feel better. Fuck all to do with men.

Wellmeetontheledge · 04/06/2017 14:07

As a big boobed teacher of littlies a bra is essential, i'd knock them out when I bent down otherwise! Plus it's so much more comfortable having the right support.

dementedpixie · 04/06/2017 14:04

With a GG cup size, no way would I go without a bra or my boobs would be down to my knees

kittybiscuits · 04/06/2017 14:04

Hahahaha
