Bralessness

Bralessness is a foreign dimension. Women have nightmares about having no support. Long gone are the days when women burnt/stopped wearing their bras against the oppression of women. Germaine Greer once stated that ‘Bras are a ludicrous invention.’ Those women (and the occasional man) reading this post might be looking down at their bras thinking, ‘But this is God’s greatest creation!’ I agree.

Although Greer strives for the equality of women in society, I cannot completely agree with her reasoning and methods. Equality for women and men cannot be achieved completely but we can get as close as possible to it. If you haven’t noticed, men and women have different body parts. Unless we are seeking to become hermaphrodites in the next decade, we will always be different physically and there are different needs for different body parts.

Bras support breasts and slow down the process of sagging. Thus, connotations of bralessness often include saggy boobs or wrinkled breasts. Now imagine the damage of Greer’s braless movement did to those women’s breasts! Am I the only one thinking of rotten kiwis?
