(4,187 posts)She is always dressed unprofessionally. But this thread is not about her style of dress; it's about her nipples. The insults that have been thrown at her because of her nipples will hurt every woman out there who has large breasts or whose nipples sometimes show through their clothes.
I hate padded bras. They're hot; they're uncomfortable; they're a pain to wash; and they're terrible for the environment. I have been wearing unpadded bras for a while now, but always with great trepidation because I know how misogynistic men and women are. This thread only perpetuates that misogyny.
It is not my job as a woman to make sure that misogynists out there, male or female, are not offended by my breasts. It's my job to ensure that the way I dress is consistent with my beliefs about gender equality and about environmentalism.
