Goin' braless; don't care.

[pla4u]

well I dont have enough there to need a bra.....but I just like wearing bras anyway....whatever you are cumfy with is fine with me though...

 

[Jessica]

Good for you hun.....I can't though. At age 32 the puppies are starting to go south:sleepyhead: .

I envy you and your Tatas.... I want fake tits in the worst way but i want to loose weight first. I want to be free and go braless. I want my girls to stand up and salute:icon_salut:

i think as long as it doesn't look obvious, then fine.

what does wearing no bra have anything to do with being a feminist?

 

[AprilRayne]

Yeah, really! There's probably a reason that the whole no bra thing from the 60's didn't stay around for long! I don't know why people think it's society deciding what is right and wrong for your breast health! I think any Dr. would probably tell you that letting your breast tissue stretch and sag for years can't be too healthy!

 

[emily_3383]

Yeah im not sure if feminism has anything to do with it.....

I like keeping my boobs in place.

well, throughout history women have been told (and tell each other) what the "correct" silhouette is for their body and how to achieve it using various shapewear like bras. I'm just trying to break out of that because I think, as far as that goes, sometimes it's all in our minds. Sure some days I might feel floppy or flat, or self-conscious, but it'll only be because I'm hearing, and in turn telling myself, that it's unacceptable.

It's empowering and freeing to me, that I won't have to buy new bras when they stretch or shrink or get dirty. I won't have to worry about where my straps are showing, or if I have that little back wrinkle going on. No more adjusting and feeling sticky or getting poked with an underwire gone awry :laughing:

of course some might take it in the opposite direction, getting primped and pushed-up to fully realize their potential. I guess that's okay as long as they're not manipulative of those poor guys out there with their jaws on the floor! :rotfl: I'd be lying if I said I wasn't like that at one point.

And overall it was a reference to gals in the 60s/70s who burned their bras in defiance of sexism.

I think its a personel choice, as long as you are not flashing around somthing that shouldent be out in public then no problem...

 

[Momo]

yeah def not... I don't think immodesty and braless have to go hand in hand lol

 

[AprilRayne]

I guess you're not likin' my opinion much!! You haven't responded to any of my posts! LOL Like I said before, more power to you! I probably would've gone braless at 18 too!

 

[emily_3383]

Theres more to feminism than just burning your bra. If you want to go braless thats your decision and its great that you do have a choice whether or not you choose to wear it. Have fun.

 

[Momo]

well, i didnt see the point in debating as most people don't change their mind over things like this. anyways i respect and understand where all of you are coming from

i know theres more to it.. you'd have to be fairly ignorant not to.

 

[Jennifer]

thanks for explaining, although i still don't really get it lol

 

[han]

wow! i dont think theres anything wrong with going braless as long as your comfortable doing so and your boobs arent on public display for everyone to see(kids) but at the same time i can totally understand the need to wear a bra some may feel more comfortable and confident with a bra.. i think its really a personel choice although i feel great with out a bra i also like bras and find them very sexy... big boob gals do need support and no thats not just in there minds it's reality

 

[SalJ]

I'd love to but my boobs are too big. If my boobs were perky I would definitely go braless but they're not, they look better and feel more comfortable in a bra.

And I dunno if anyone else finds this but when i'm due on my boobs swell and ache so much that when I'm braless it is just painful!

I am a feminist and I am wearing a bra /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I don't think these are mutually exclusive /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm just more comfortable that way.

 

[southcitybabe]

good for you hon but i couldnt do it, you get so used to wearing one, even if i sometimes dont wear em for bed i feel strange, i used to hate wearing them but i couldnt not have something holding me up and in

 

[mac-whore]

if you're gonna go as far as to stop wearing bra's as to not conform to society, why bra's in particular? apparently you wear make up and in our society, alot of people consider that '' conforming ''. there are alot of different ways we as women, and as people conform. to be completely honest, that whole feminist ' we don't have to conform ' movement is pretty trendy right now.. and in itself, is conforming.

 

[magosienne]

it's your choice, i wish i could do that but my boobs are definitely too big.

when i was younger though i also had that period when i didn't want to wear bras. one day i simply forgot to put one, and though i had small boobs they were bouncing everywhere under my tee shirt and i got vulgar compliments by some stupid guys from my school. i've never been so embarrassed ! :rotfl:

 

[Momo]

I think it's also pretty conformist to lash out and call something radical a conformist concept. It's okay for you to think that about me, judgmental is how people are. Honestly though it's not as if I've suddenly been "converted". It's not as if I'm doing it to fit in somewhere, as most of the girls around me strive to be housewives and shun equalist beliefs. Don't know how you can be a human and say an outright fight for equality is too conformist for you, like you're above it. Feminism isn't just about not having to conform, and sometimes you have to delve your entire self into it. Bras are just one symbol of control I am elminating from my life.

Anyways, I think makeup is fine for fun, but I don't rely on it. There's a difference between needing it to feel acceptable and pretty, and wanting to transform oneself on occaison.

sorry, I didn't want to start arguing with anyone, but you opened a can of worms there. I didn't expect praise but I also didn't expect to be attacked.

This topic is inherently controversial. Some people will be supportive of your decision while others question it/speak out against it. That's life. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
