To think it's shit I feel pressurised to wear a bra?

[Bambambini]

Sitting watching telly, and I can feel the constriction of me wearing a bra. I have small boobs, why do I have to sit here wearing a bra? Why can't I go about my daily business bra free - without being judged!

Wear a bra, don't wear a bra, nobody gives a fuck. Stop looking for reasons to be offended.

Expectations exist for lots of things. They're only really a problem if you decide to accept them when you don't want to which it sounds like you have. There is your problem. Nothing will happen to you if someone judges you. Really. You probably won't even notice. Unless you look for it.

So what your saying is because you think society feel the way your telling us they do we're all wrong?

Each to their own

I could (but I won't obviously) name 10-20 women who I know don't ever wear a bra. Both of the big tit and small.

I know women who wear a crop top instead

I know women who won't leave the house without one because they feel comfortable containing them.

Some twats might judge but they are the same twatswho would find somthing else to judge if the bra was being worn.

I honestly couldn't have told you whether any of the women I saw out and about today were wearing bras or not. I don't think it's as much of an issue as you do.

Do you know what fuck off. The only dumbfuck - sorry dumbfolk round here is you.

As I previously said, you seem to be creating an issue purely for the sake of it with no real evidence other than your own paranoia to back it. You've been asked a number of times to give examples of when you've been judged but you haven't. Dumbfuck

I only wear bras v occasionally (and usually sports bras, which are much more comfy) and really don't give a shit what other people think about it. The pressure to conform will only change when people stop conforming to what they 'think' other people expect and just do what they want.

I don't wear a bra unless I'm going to see a doctor. I am a 40dd and I've never seen anyone stare or make comments at all.

I don't particularly cover up either. I wear a skirt and t shirt most of the time with a long loose cardigan if it's chilly.

I

I actually know some women that don't wear underwear either (it came up randomly in conversation).
You wouldn't know unless explicitly said. Same with a bra.

I don't always wear a bra. They are way too uncomfortable...I'm small and saggy, but I still prefer to be comfortable.

Don't wear one if you don't want to.

I've spontaneously un-bra'ed purely because op.

Cheers love

The only time i don't wear mine is in the shower. I can't stand the feeling of not wearing one!

I don't get comments - possibly because I feel the pressure to conform.

Are people saying that women wouldn't/don't get talked about/judged or ridiculed for not conforming - whether it's bras, shaving legs or armpits, applying make up etc?

So, you're sitting at home, wearing an uncomfortable bra, and it's everyone else who's a dumbfuck? Put your PJs on and stop being bizarre.

I'm sorry this thread hasn't turned into the "aren't-we-all-terribly-oppressed"-whingefest you were hoping for. Many people choose to not wear a bra, grow body hair or wear a bikini as a size 25. Some people will judge them for their choices.
They shouldn't, but good luck policing that one.
Find something worthwhile to worry about.

Oh, I sometimes go nickerless too, hairy legs and armpits as well. But only if I think it will go unnoticed.

Though don't really give a shit about the hairy legs and armpits - need to work on the bra thing.

If you don't want to wear makeup or shave your legs, you're not hurting anyone.

If you don't want to wear a bra, you're hurting yourself. They provide support. Or at least they do, if they're the right size.

Let me put it this way. People will always judge. I'm currently judging the premise of this thread.
It's called downward social comparison and the main point is to make oneself feel better. Everyone does it.
You will get judged if you don't conform to someone's expectations of normal. There are 9 billion people in the world who all have different perceptions of the norm. So there's a pretty good chance someone out there will be judging you.
Do what works for you. People will judge you anyway.

I very rarely wear a bra. I very rarely do my legs, and I still go swimming and in summer wear shorts and skirts. I'm currently not shaving my armpits, because the skin was getting irritated by it. And I've never worn make-up, except sometimes nail varnish.

If people are commenting and ridiculing me, they're not doing it to my face, and I'm in my mid-40s now. Most people have other things to worry about than what I look like.

SO again OP, what happens if someone judges you? What are the consequences of that for you?

You've been quite obtuse OP. There are millions of social conformities to comply to. You might be wearing a bra and telling yourself you're complying to social pressure but you wont be following them all so who the hell cares. So do what you want, you're limiting yourself. Nobody else is.

no one cares

So you say that anyone who doesn't agree with you is a dumbfuck and yet you're claiming that it's others who are judgey... Right???

I didn't go out today. Didn't wear a bra while I was slobbing around the house (and I have massive pregnant boobs atm). Nobody spontaneously combusted or anything.

I would never go out without wearing a bra because ouchhhh! But that's not to do with societal pressure, it's just not comfy.

As a PP said: I'm sorry this thread hasn't turned into the "aren't-we-all-terribly-oppressed"-whingefest you were hoping for

I think people tend to judge you more for calling them 'dumbfucks' than they do for free-boobing.

You're starting to sound like Daffyd, The Only Gay In The Village.

Literally nobody else is thinking of your tits Op. HTH
