232. It's just a body part. Get over it.

Tue Sep 24, 2019, 09:43 AM

Sep 2019

I refuse to wear uncomfortable padded bras that are difficult to wash and bad for the environment just because American society, in its misogyny, finds my body parts objectionable. This entire thread is sexist.

And no, I am not constantly looking down at my breasts to see whether they might be doing something that misogynists have a problem with.
