i personally think that the way a woman dresses is how people will treat her..its WRONG but its true, do a test yourself: wear a slutty outfit and go out.. you will get no respect and much unwanted attention.. go to the same location whether it being a bank, grocery store, college, mall.. etc... but dress in conservative clothing, nothing revealing and you will get the opposite... you will be respected, not looked down on and i can guarantee you, no body will "stare" at your chest if you dont reveal it... thats my opinion and like i said, its WRONG but its true...

Actually I disagree. I will judge a woman more on how she speaks than how she dresses. Put her in a business suit, but sound unintelligent, I will respect her much less.

i think i will stick to wearing pink. i dont think ANYBODY would be too happy about me not wearing my bra! lol. breast fed two kids! that speaks for itself! LOL.

Agreed, breast fed two kids.... who are now 24 and 28... I shall say no more on the subjects of gravity and time!

Anyone who isn't already aware really doesn't wanna know, and I'm not going to force the issue on them. Besides that, I have some self-respect, and there are parts of me that are personal.

I won't be wearing a bra! Many of the survivors of breast cancer do not get reconstructive surgery for financial or more importantly health reasons. Those are the breast that are beautiful. They say "I fought and I won". I will join the ones whom have battled or are battling!

So what's the plan for "Prostate Awareness Day" then?


ETA: Ha!! I didn't see that someone had posted almost the same thing! lol

I think people are plenty "aware" of breast cancer - there are several organizations out there that have done an excellent job of making it so. How about women keep their bras on and make a donation to research instead?

tjsusong

Uhhhhh people would get hurt if I didn't wear one. I wear one to bed :laugh:

Me too! I'm so not comfortable without a bra on! I also agree witht he comment that some people just dont know if they look good or not and it can look slothenly. And yes, you can see this at Wal Mart on a daily basis... Its not a pretty sight!! I'm gonna stick to wearing pink!!!

giggle - sounds like a male initiated activity to me ;-)

Hah! That's exactly what I thought when I read the post!

I have strong feelings about the whole "using women's sexuality to promote breast cancer awareness" thing, but I won't get into it here because I want to avoid politics on this forum. BUT . . . there's only one time in my life that I went outside without a bra (except for wearing a bathing suit). This was many years ago. I saw a car accident outside my window and ran downstairs in case they needed a witness. I was wearing normal clothes but no bra. Literally the second I stepped out on my building's front stoop, some guy strolled by and said, "Hey, shake it, don't break it!" Uhhh . . . Nope, never doing that again!

You know I was just thinking about another reason this day is so important, albeit the way they are putting it out there is a bit crass. That reason is my best friend. She was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 28 and underwent chemo, radiation and had a double mastectomy. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is basically where they remove your breasts and sew you back up. I bet she wishes like hell she could wear a bra everyday. But you know what? She can't wear one and she won't be able to for a long time still. I think I am definitely participating in this day so i can know what it feels like to have people stare at my chest and wonder whats going on, then maybe I will know slightly and only ever slightly how she must feel.

Exactly...The point isn't to get other people to look at you and to make them aware...It's a way for you to become aware of how uncomfortable (<<----huge understatement) having to live with the effects of breast cancer is.

I find the whole event uplifting.... Wait, what?

jennywrens

And I shop at Wal-Mart...there isn't a set day for this, some folk have been supporting breast cancer awareness their whole lives.

Hahahaha!! Love it!!!

There are also Slutwalks now if anyone is interested.

Perhaps when you gentlemen are finished "becoming aware of breast cancer" you can wander over ...

I think if people don't know about breast cancer by now, they aren't ever going to care. Personally, I think the focus needs to be more on prevention than anything else. But thats just me.

Oh for cryin out loud, I spelled opinion *oupinion* in the title.

mommared53

I have to wear a bra otherwise they get in the way when I'm walking. :laugh:

sdgirl22

@ the kitchenninja - word. I don't think my nips are going to make anyone more aware about breast cancer.

I figured that's the way the English spelled it.

Great idea, but nothing on God's Earth could ever make me not wear a bra. I am a 28GG and have breastfed for 5 years straight. Sorry, but not for all Bill Gate's fortune would I spend a day braless.

"But seriously, is this going a little too far? This day we will be flinging our boobs around and the next day we will be complaining that men are staring at our boobs and it's harassment. "


I'm not sure I have an opinion on the whole event, I just wanted to point out that even if women fling their boobs about, they can still complain about being harassed. A woman should never be harassed, no matter what she is wearing. Sorry if this comes off as pushy, it's just something that's very important to me!

Rubbish. People stare at my chest whatever I wear. I just have big boobs.

Mommawarrior

I think that some pervert comes up with all this crap.....just my personal opinion!

jewels319

If we can do this.....why not Nation ED day.....erectial dysfunction day.....let it all hang out.....nah.....no one would have an issue with that now would they!!!!!! Big ones, small ones...thick ones, thin ones......I don't know who comes up with all these different ways to show support for cancer........if commando boobs in white tees is the only way to raise funds and awareness I think its time to hire a new PR team.
