Feminists that wear bras??

39 replies

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.

So why use the title you did? Confused
I wear a bra for comfort, nothing else. It's a choice. Isn't that what feminism is all about? Having the choice? You sound very young...

Hoik or don't hoik as you wish, my life would be pretty uncomfortable without my boulder holders.

Cool thanks for your replies.

I didn't say it was linked. The reason I don't wear one as a feminist is I don't need for support one so why should I hoik my boobs up for the benefit of men??

Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't. I mostly do if I'm out and about because I'm an E cup and pthey are uncomfortable unsupported.

No idea why feminists would care either way though.

My tits don't make me a feminist, my experience does. What an odd question Hmm

Yes I wear a bra and am a feminist. Plenty of women wear bras and are feminists, even if they don't label themselves a feminist.

I have a very large chest, I don't wear bras for any reason other than support and comfort.

Being a feminist and wearing a bra are not connected (unless you are living in the 1970s).

AlternativeTentacle · 04/06/2017 13:56

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Can't see what that has to do with feminism. Care to enlighten me?

Of course it wouldn't be for me to say if someone was anti feminist or feminist it's a personal choice just interested in other opinions. Luckily mine are small too 🙏

Oh yeah I wear a sports bra for the gym and cycling. But every day things like shopping I don't bother.

Cool thanks for your reply just interested if people share my view or not. Have a great day 🙏

I don't wear a bra...simply because I don't need one. I hated wearing them when I was younger and now I've had my kids, my boobs are a tad smaller so no longer need one.

But I wouldn't say anyone was anti feminist for wearing a bra

I can't see big boobed people finding it comfortable

Seriously?

Yes I wear bras. Very supportive ones. They allow me to run and jump and other sports and daily activities in comfort. I can't imagine anything more uncomfortable than not wearing a bra when doing anything but sleeping.
