Okay, so first I’ll start of saying I am not a feminist. That does not mean I don’t support women’s rights or equality, I strongly I strongly do, and some feminist opinions I do agree with. But there are many reasons why I chose not to label myself as a feminist and this is just one.
I know all feminist don’t “burn their bras” or support that idea, but it is a feminist thing. I disagree with it. I think it’s absolutely dumb, and I don’t know why women would think this is raising awareness or whatever for women’s rights. To me, its counter-productive. Bras are amazing. Bras were made so women didn’t have to walk around with their boobs bouncing up and down, and this is uncomfortable. Bras were made specifically for WOMEN! Now tell me, if you are a women complaining about how women’s needs, rights, and opinions are not valued, yet here we have a bra specifically made for women to support their breasts, but we go burn it. I don’t understand.
Now I’m not an idiot, I know the idea behind this whole burning bras thing. Because women don’t want to feel like walking around without a bra on is un-classy, or nasty, or whatever. Women want their breasts to feel comfortable not look like gross, or whatever if they are not worn without a bra. But I think its absolutely dumb. I know there are women out there who don’t wear bras because of this, but please, if you are wear a bra size higher than a B-cup, that shit is uncomfortable. Just fucking wear your bra. And honestly, I don’t think boobs are really looked at negatively, THAT MUCH. They are, and some conservatives would agree, but seriously lets be real. Everyone loves boobs. So just wear your bra, and don’t fucking burn something (even if its metaphorically) that was specifically made for YOU, to help you OUT!
Women should be fighting for equal pay, for equal opportunities for certain jobs, for the right to wear a skirt and not get raped etc …not fight for something that just makes no sense. I feel like a lot of activist ideas just come with nonsense opinions that are just there to have something else to fight, and this is one of them.
