I was shopping for bras the other day and boy was that a slightly scary experience. First off, most all bras were padded. Um folks, what does that say about society's expectation of women? That you should either have big boobs, or at the very least, LOOK like you do. All I wanted was a frickin REGULAR ass bra to just do it's job: give the ladies a little support.
Lo and behold, I find a bra without padding. Woo hoo! Score!
However, there's a catch:
I get home and realize I'd bought a nursing bra. Yes, a nursing bra.
So we want women to have either big boobs, or be nursing a baby.
Well, I'm not nursing nor lactating, and am wearing that bra cuz it's comfortable and does its job. After all, I love the saying you often see on bumper stickers and signs: women who follow the rules don't make history. Or shall I say, Herstory.

I hear you, girlfriend. They all have either padding or underwires. Or both. It's horrifying. All I want is something to keep the girls off my stomach. And no, I'm not interested in wearing a sports bra to work, either.
