Hey girls, did you know... that um...your boobs go in your shirt?

[–]tragiquexcomedy 85 points86 points ago

I love that KnowYourMeme makes sure to correctly qualify the original post as slut-shaming. I had a vague knowledge of the origin of these, but thanks for the link. It's just sad how people try to inflict a negative self-perception on women who are body confident.

[–]japaneseknotweed 55 points56 points ago

Am I the only liberal feminist over-40 redditor that thinks that high-school boobs actually do belong mostly inside shirts?

[–]dmrnj 21 points22 points ago

Am I the only person who, while appreciating a classic, classy wardrobe, doesn't think that boobs are obscene?

And even if you could argue that boobs are naturally sexy, I'd much rather a high schooler be perfectly normally understanding their body image and sexuality via their breasts, perfectly harmless organs?

[–]SingingRuth 17 points18 points ago

I think that I understand where you are coming from. As a recent high school student, I definitely wouldn't put my boobs on display. But I also wasn't ready for that kind of expression. Other people in my class were, and I think that it is their choice to show their boobs to whoever they please. However, more important then telling girls to keep their breasts tucked away (which basically steps on their right to sexual expression while promoting slut shaming) is educating teens on internet safety and general comprehension so they can control who is seeing them online, and safe forms of sexuality (yaaay condoms). This helps girls be in control and safe without ignoring their sexuality nor learning to hate their body, and perhaps this is the kind of positive redirection that we need right now. Because yeah, girls who are in their teens are not quite ready to consent to putting their boobs on display for the world.

[–]RingoTheSquidd 45 points46 points ago

That's understandable but its hard to sometimes. There are many high school girls with very large chests. I don't want to wear shirts up to my neck all the time. Its uncomfortable.
I also had to wear a leotard for a dance recital and was called a slut cuz I was spilling out. Um. I'm wearing THE EXACT SAME THING AS EVERYONE ELSE.

[–]dragonbuttons 23 points24 points ago

I not only got boobs early (6th grade) but they were always larger than the majority of the boobs at my school. During my senior year of high school, I was on the video announcements and my teacher received a complaint from another teacher that I had "too much cleavage" and it was "distracting." I was wearing a plain tank top with a cardigan over it. Nothing was particularly low cut, I just had boobs that were OBVIOUSLY boobs.

[–]tragiquexcomedy 10 points11 points ago

My cousin, who is extremely petite otherwise, developed early and was probably a D- or DD-cup by age 12/13. She had similar problems, especially due to her small frame. Even now, as she's approaching 30, married, and with a son, when she wears modestly cut tops, people think she's showing off or "trashy", but she can't wear turtlenecks everyday.

[–]mary_tyler_murder 2 points3 points ago

Nah you're not the only old person who hates young people.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

It's probably because you and I are both older. The teenagers here don't want any restriction on their self expression.

[–]tragiquexcomedy 48 points49 points ago

For the record, I'm not a teenager, I'm in my twenties. I don't think that anyone is saying "HEY TEENAGE GIRLS SHOW US YOUR TITS" but at the same time, the poster never specified that she was only addressing teenage girls. It's been pointed out that she seems to be an overly conservative Christian, and as much as I support her freedom to express her personal beliefs, I don't believe that it's fair for her to condemn women who choose to wear low-cut tops.

[–]HopeImNotAStalker 26 points27 points ago

It absolutely is fair for her to condemn women who choose to wear low-cut tops. That's what supporting her freedom to express her personal beliefs means.

(As an atheist, it frustrates me when both atheists and Christians don't understand the difference between freedom of expression and freedom to disagree.)

I think what you mean to say is that it leaves her open to withering criticism from people who know better. If she's going to put her shallow opinion out there, as free as she is to do it, she should be prepared to hear rebuttals.

Edit: I accidentally adjectivized a word.

[–]advocatadiaboli 5 points6 points ago

Freedom of expression does not make every expression "fair".

[–]lawfairy 2 points3 points ago

"Fair" is one of those words that's perhaps a little too vague and open to interpretation for this discussion. It's not "fair" in the sense that it's not a reasonable thing for her to say. Because it isn't a reasonable thing to say. Saying it isn't "fair" for her to say that isn't tantamount to saying she shouldn't have the legal right to say it, and I don't believe anyone here is arguing that she shouldn't have that legal right.

[–]Sudenveri 5 points6 points ago

As they say, your right to swing your fist ends at my nose.

[–]lawfairy 10 points11 points ago

I'm a 30-year-old female attorney (31 in two weeks, sigh...). I don't think it's reasonable to tell young women that their boobs "belong" in their shirts. It's no more obscene for a woman to go topless than for a man. Fat men aren't legally prohibited from being topless just because they have fatty deposits.

[–]japaneseknotweed 23 points24 points ago

I remember when I though unlimited self expression sounded great.

And now, it sounds to me like... a really crowded dog park where nobody leashes the aggressive ones or scoops any of the poop.

:)

Ain't being older great?

(BTW, I just went and made a post about this. It'll be interesting to see the response.)

    Yeah I'm not a fan of the 15 posts about it right now but I just saw this on the front page and it actually made me laugh.

    Who is this little 12 year old cretin? And where are her parents?

    [–]Daidra 156 points157 points ago

    Her parents are probably good conservative Christians who applaud her for telling young girls they should be ashamed of their bodies, as God intended.

    [–]myfairlady91 100 points101 points ago

    I'm not agreeing that bodies should be hidden and I do believe a woman should not be judged for what she chooses to show or not. However my mother is a very conservative christian, her view was that our bodies are beautiful and not something to be ashamed yet it should not be flaunted before the public.

    I was raised to be proud of and love my body which has led to me having very few issues with my body unlike a lot of girls my age. I was never taught to be ashamed of my body but that it was a gift from God that should be cared for.

    I'm pretty much atheist/agnostic now but I always hate how everyone assumes the worst of christians (granted majority is justified).

    The problem I have with the girl in the tee is that she is judging others. Jesus was not judgmental, from what I gained from his teachings is that christians' priority is to love others and leave judging up to God.

    Being raised in a loving, conservative, christian home has definitely given me a lot of perspective of the religious side of things.

    [–]Daidra 23 points24 points ago

    (granted majority is justified).

    I was speaking in reference to the majority, of course I would assume there are exceptions to the rule.

    [–]LuxNocte 48 points49 points ago

    I would have said "vocal minority".

    The majority of Christians, in my experience, don't really care what you do with your body. But it's going to be the shrill idiot with the picket sign that gets the headlines.

    [–]Daidra 15 points16 points ago

    Well I was raised Catholic, so the whole "NAKED IS BAD SEX IS BAD DON'T EVER TOUCH YOURSELF THERE OR YOU GO TO HELL" thing is kind of what shaped my impression of Christianity. That might explain it.

    [–]The_SNL_Encyclopedia 10 points11 points ago

    In general, as someone who grew up in a very Christian household, I've found Catholicism is often much less tolerant and more... Crazy. (Not always, of course) And often less supported by the Bible!

    EDIT: I meant Catholics, not Catholicism in general, as I don't know enough about Catholicism to make a judgment like that.

    [–]lawfairy 2 points3 points ago

    The majority of Christians, in my experience, don't really care what you do with your body

    Depends on how you define "Christian," I suppose. I agree w.r.t most people who identify as Christian, but not most people who are actively religiously Christian. Traditional Christian doctrine teaches that there are a lot of things one does or doesn't do with one's body that are considered relevant enough to have rules about.

    Lots of people who consider themselves Christian don't personally care what others do with their bodies, but Christianity in the abstract does, so I do think it's fair to criticize the religion for some amount of body shaming.

    [–]JohnAdamZiolkowski 32 points33 points ago

    Hey, wait a second - isn't stuffing your bra more body-negative than going naturally?

    [–]lawfairy 4 points5 points ago

    I can see that argument, but also, I've heard a lot of men cluck their tongues about stuffing and whatnot as "false advertising." The implication of the discussion surrounding it is that stuffing one's bra gets one attention that one wouldn't have gotten without the stuffing, and one therefore didn't deserve such attention.

    It's bullshit that women aren't seen as deserving of attention regardless of boob size, and it's even more disgusting to criticize women for using the means at their disposal to deal with the fact that boobs can get them attention. There's nothing wrong with wanting attention. It's, in fact, exceedingly human.

    So I'm guessing that when women take issue with being chastised about bra stuffing, it's subconsciously stemming in part from the wholly reasonable sense that it's unfair to chastise women for reacting to an unfair world by trying to give themselves what they hope will be a leg up. Bra stuffing doesn't hurt anyone, so why should anyone care about it?

    [–]zluruc 16 points17 points ago

    Is makeup body-negative? Is my body lesser because I have acne and cover it up with foundation and concealer? Or because I use mascara to thicken and darken my thin, pale eyelashes?

    [–]will4274 1 point2 points ago

    but why do you cover it up? Wouldn't body-positive be thinking your acne was beautiful?

    Obviously, what you do is your own business and nobody should be criticizing.

    [–]JohnAdamZiolkowski 3 points4 points ago

    Probably :P I'm sure being proud of your blemishes and thin eyelashes is being more body-positive. But hey, what everyone does shouldn't be any of this girl's business. Choosing to enhance your body is your own choice, and as long as you know why you're choosing to it it, it can be empowering.

    [–]tesseracter 2 points3 points ago

    if it has the effect you want, then there's nothing wrong with it. lots of people forget their original goal however, and it the things that are used to conceal just make it worse....

    like chapstick - use it once, and you're stuck using it for 4 months.

      Not really, unless you're like "OH MY GOD, MY BOOBS ARE SO TINY THAT NO ONE WILL EVER LOVE ME, IF I STUFF MY BRA WITH TOILET PAPER MAYBE I'LL BE WORTH SOMETHING :'((((" That's pretty negative.

      [–]oogmar 3 points4 points ago

      If you get negative on your own body, it's slightly different than somebody ELSE telling you that you should feel badly about it.

      [–]violetwaterfall 1 point2 points ago

      Oh I know, I'm saying that stuffing your bra isn't really body-negative unless you do it because you think your body is unacceptable.

      [–]oogmar 2 points3 points ago

      Gotcha. I know a lot of women who have huge issues with their bodies. They're more than welcome to their body issues and I hope they eventually find happiness in their own skin. Stuff/tuck/bind away, it's not my business.

      People who intentionally make them feel like shit, though? Those people can fuck right off.

        Didn't god tell off adam and eve when they wore clothes because he created them naked

        [–]Daidra 14 points15 points ago

        No I think he made them suddenly be aware of the "shame" of nakedness for the whole apple thing.

        [–]victorii 16 points17 points ago

        No, they were suddenly aware of their shame because of eating the apple. When he saw them covering themselves he knew what they'd done.

        [–]Daidra 20 points21 points ago

        So, to summarize, basically the naked body is something God believes you're supposed to be ashamed of, it's just something we weren't necessarily supposed to be aware of unless we ate apples.

        [–]salsa_de_tomate 24 points25 points ago

        No, how did you get that idea? Let's assume god is real for one minute. God does not believe nudity is a shame. It is a human imperfection to think our nudity is shameful. Before they sinned, Adam and Eve walked about naked and it didn't matter to anyone, certainly not to god. It wasn't until they ate off the apple (which is symbolism to sinning) that they realized their nudity and became ashamed of it. This wasn't the work of god, it was the work of sin/the serpent/satan. It wasn't until we became imperfect that we felt ashamed of our nudity. In a perfect world without sin, nudity is shameless.

        [–]Michi_THE_Awesome 8 points9 points ago

        I'm going to test this theory of naked shame by consuming an apple in the nude.

        [–]Daidra 28 points29 points ago

        I've tried it. Bastards kicked me right out of the produce isle.

        [–]picowhi 2 points3 points ago

        You as well as a lot of other people forgot that it was never specified to be an apple.

        [–]Michi_THE_Awesome 2 points3 points ago

        I've also heard it to be a pomegranate. I'm still going to be eating an apple while wearing nothing. In fact, that's how I'll be eating all my fruit from now on.

        [–]HunterTV 1 point2 points ago

        No, I think it was just punishment. A lot of angels and such are buck-naked IIRC (I'm not particularly religious). It's all bullshit anyway because it's just something someone (a man no doubt) made up. Except for the fundies most people take the whole creation thing as metaphor.

        Even in relatively modern times some ethnic groups were thought of as being barbaric simply on the basis they were running around half-naked. I think the whole clothing thing is just something that got ingrained in human mentality a long, long, long time ago and just has stuck and worked its way very deeply into collective culture.

        I mean, it is practical in a general protective way, but on the other hand modern life has removed a lot of that from the equation, so there a long of morality hangover that just gets passed down socially. It all boils down to sex in the end, and people's opinions of it. Sex is very closely tied to the removal of clothing, so. shrug

        [–]dinochop 1 point2 points ago

        When they ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil they then became ashamed, meaning there was no point in being ashamed of their naked bodies until they gained moral capacity. From what I understand of the Bible, the naked body is not supposed to be shameful, at least for the man as the man was created in God's image. However, the woman was created in man's image and therefore is the glory of man and not God. This is why women are told to cover their heads in worship (long hair is their covering), and men are not supposed to cover their heads in worship (not have long hair). 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 goes into further detail. I am not of Christian faith, so none of this is expressing my own beliefs.

        [–]lawfairy 0 points1 point ago

        Actually, according to the Bible women and men are both created in God's image -- when it says "man" was created in God's image, the Hebrew word in the original text means "humankind." This is one of the many problems with having masculine nouns and pronouns double as neuter :-P

        [–]dinochop 0 points1 point ago

        7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, inasmuch as he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man. 8 For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man. 9 Neither was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man.

        Then could you explain this?

          No. God didn't make them ashamed. He never said anything about nudity. They gained the knowledge of Good and Evil by eating the fruit and then covered themselves. One could argue that God was fine with nudity since he didn't want them to have that knowledge.

          [–]permachine 1 point2 points ago

            That one's actually kind of hilarious, because I simply can't read it in my head as being sincere. My brain is insisting it's sarcastic.

            I probably shouldn't do that. I grew up with people like that, so I know they exist. I think it's a defense mechanism I built up after spending so many of my teenage years blaming myself for not feeling the extreme devotion to Jesus/God that so many of my church friends did. I had to tell myself they couldn't possibly actually feel that way, because (in my mind) that would mean admitting that I was just less faithful than them. 'Sall good now, because I don't believe that their god exists the way they describe him anyway.

            Oh man, clueless teenaged Christians are the worst.

            When I was 15 I thought I'd explore the whole religion thing for myself by going to youth group. The cliques of the "popular" kids were the ones doing the most drinking and hooking up among each other while preaching how everyone else should live their lives. I think I lasted about 10 weeks and the nail in the coffin was when one of the popular rich girls regurgitated the old "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" bullshit while discussing the topic of homosexuality. To uproarious laughter from everyone including the pastors of course.

            In Christian circles they often make themselves feel better by putting down "worldly" or "sinful" teens, or just teens who aren't sufficiently "on fire" for God. They will actually go as far as saying how sorry for them they feel, that kind of thing. It's like a double-dose of ego fuel: they get the thrill of being near the top of their peer group (because in strictly Christian circles, the most popular kids are often the ones who come off as the most pious), and they have parents/church leaders telling them how much better they are than "worldly" kids.

            It really is tiresome just looking at them.

            So.... why on earth would you look at them?

              Mine have been shrinking too. I used to be a large C/ almost D when I was a teenager but now I'm barely a B. I was pretty bummed when I realized this was happening, but I've since accepted and almost embrace it. There are a lot of pretty cute smaller sized bras, like this awesome little lace bra (I have no idea what kind it is, according to the list of bra types on wikipedia, it's like a badeau/shelf bra that covers the nipples? ... whatever, it's adorable but offers no support). I wouldn't have been able to wear it when my boobs were bigger because of the complete lack of support and it wasn't available in the size I used to be. I like it mostly for practical reasons. I wear it under semi see through tops. Like white shirts where even a nude or white bra would be visible through the fabric. This little lace one I just got is cream colored and basically invisible. If anything, it can pass as a tank top or something under whatever I'm wearing because of its shape :D

              [–]MollyConnollyxx 8 points9 points ago

              I wore a C in 10th grade, but I was also 50 pounds heavier. Losing weight was awesome, but weight falls off my chest first, and thighs last. Any weight I gain goes straight to my legs >_<

              [–]opalorchid 3 points4 points ago

              Same! I was heavier in high school too, and less of that weight was muscle than it is now. I'm the same way in that it all came off my chest first, except my problem area would by my hips/ love handles instead of thighs.

              [–]MollyConnollyxx 5 points6 points ago

              Those are my 2nd problem area. Pretty much from the bottom of my ribcage to the top of my knees bothers me, but you know what? FUCK IT. I'm too content with most of the other parts to care enough to change it.

              Boobs shrink?!?! Sweet Jesus there is hope for me yet.

              [–]lawfairy 1 point2 points ago

              I had kind of an opposite experience. My boobs have never been all that big, usually around a B. Then I gained some weight and they were a hefty C for a while (probably really a D but I was wearing the wrong bra size). Loved the boobs but hated the extra weight, so I lost it. Boobs have definitely shrunk, but, amazingly, the rest of me shrunk even more, so I'm technically a D now because of the small size of my ribcage. It's almost 100% awesome except that now I have the "large-chested" problem of trying to find tailored shirts in my size that don't squash my girls into uncomfortable, button-straining oblivion. It's a little bit absurd to me to be in a place where for once in my life it's easier to find jeans that fit than it is to find a fitted shirt that doesn't either squash the boobs or hang over my waist like a sheet. I always thought I was pear-shaped, when it turns out I was a very late-blooming hourglass :-P (And by late-blooming, I mean pretty damn late -- this is all in the last year and I'll be 31 in a couple weeks).

              [–]opalorchid 1 point2 points ago

              I don't need to wear a bra for size reasons, but I'd never go without because I'd feel INCREDIBLY exposed and self-conscious if I felt like people might be able to see nipple. :/

              [–]lawfairy 3 points4 points ago

              You could try pasties? One of the nice things about smaller boobs is that it opens up the possibility of wearing all kinds of fun ridiculous tops that it's completely impossible to wear a bra with.

                See? It's not that bad. Small boobs are better for doing exercise too. I'd rather have non existant boobs than the big ones, but that's just me.

                [–]konekoanni 2 points3 points ago

                Me too, but it took me while to get used to the idea that small boobs are awesome, and that I don't have to feel self-conscious about them. I love them now, but a big part of that was a) my husband telling me that tiny boobs are the best and b) finding bras that actually fit.

                [–]abasss 1 point2 points ago

                Finding bras that fit is a science. I have a wide back and my medium sized boobs party inside all bra cups, the last few months it's been worse than ever. Bras just don't stay in it's proper place, if it's not the cups that bothers me, it's the straps. No matter what bra I use, I'm rearranging it all the time.

                [–]kmhazz 4 points5 points ago

                Are you looking at the right band size?

                [–]tinybrownbird 17 points18 points ago

                Usually they don't carry anything below an A cup in retail stores, although I've been able to find AA (my size) in American Eagle. Yes, I'm pretty sure I'm looking in the right size.

                As a side note, I remember being 13 and my mom buying me a B cup, saying "don't worry, you'll grow into it!" Yeah, not really.

                They don't carry a lot of sizes. I'm a 32D and I can usually find one 34D in department stores, and 3 very ugly 32ds for $50 each at Victoria's secret.
                They hate non-conforming boobies.

                [–]anonymousalex 1 point2 points ago

                I just bought a bra from TJMaxx today. I have never ever found a bra there that fits me until today. I'm usually a 34G, and this was a 34H but I decided to try it just in case. It fits like a dream, and was $10. I spent at least $60 on the last bra I bought.

                I guess my point is that I would love if mass retailers like VS, or even department stores, carried larger cup sizes. Usually the larger cups are only found in the larger band sizes, which is great if you're a 40H or something like that but not so great for me.

                [–]kmhazz 6 points7 points ago

                Usually they don't carry anything below an A cup in retail stores,

                This is correct... I have something I want to say in response to this, but I'm struggling for a tactful way to say it, so instead I'll ask a question--Are you adding any inches to your rib cage measurement to get your band size?

                [–]tinybrownbird 2 points3 points ago

                No, am I supposed to add inches?

                [–]kmhazz 5 points6 points ago

                No, but that's the point. Probably around 90% of women out there are because most lingerie retailers (including, for that matter, Aerie) are telling women to add 4-5 inches when that simply is not a good way to estimate size.

                To provide an example, I am currently wearing a 34D bra (an Aerie bra, no less) at this exact moment. Aerie's calculator says I should be wearing a 36DD or a 38D, when I'd probably be swimming in either of them they're both two cup sizes too big.

                [–]tinybrownbird 1 point2 points ago

                Oh I see what you're asking. My band measures at I believe 31", so I'll get a bra that's a 32". So yes!

                [–]Sammysomeone 2 points3 points ago

                Unless your cup size is smaller than a C, good luck finding cheap 32's. ._.

                  [–]tinybrownbird 15 points16 points ago

                  That is primarily because it's a little uncommon and a lot of shamed. Boobs are made to be really really important in media & culture, so a lot of us in the itty bitty titty brigade will wear padded bras or get boob jobs. I used to be really cool with having small tits, but in the last few years it's been making me a little sad. I just started wearing padded bras about 3 years ago. I'm almost 30.

                  I'm a D cup, and I always felt like little breasts were somehow more full of integrity. They don't get stuck in your armpits, they don't fly out unexpectedly if you're not wearing a bra.

                  I was always jealous of the self-contained, neat and compact little breasts a few of my friends had. You should love them.

                  [–]pinatasaur 2 points3 points ago

                  Yeah, DDD here, have been for a while. I had smaller-chested friends who would gripe about having small boobs, and I was always like "PLEASE TRADE ME". Unless you've got big boobs that are made of silicone, support's a problem and I can't help but be jealous of ladies with smaller boobs. Gravity is... unkind.

                  It's better than it used to be though. I used to have to drive an hour to a specialty shop just to get bras that fit when I was fifty pounds heavier. Nobody else sold 38H bras.

                  [–]ohhbacon 2 points3 points ago

                  32 here and I'm told I wear a 34B, but I don't come close to filling the things. Someone here mentioned coobie bras a while back, that are one size fits all and seamless. I got one, then I found a similar design on amazon for cheaper (link) and they are great! Super comfy, and flattering fit for a smaller girl, plus light padding for cold environments. I've always been pretty self-conscious about my itty bitties too, but I hate wearing padded bras cause it felt fake. I like how they look, but the discomfort and fake feeling has pushed it's limit for me. I still have a couple, say for a fancy event if I ever go to one (doubtful), but most days I wear the ones in the link, I got some strapless ones too cause the strap hooks dig in a little. I'm starting to learn to love my little boobies, and I never have to worry about back problems from them! :) Embrace your boobies and love them for what they are, no really grab em and check for lumps ladies. Every month!

                  [–]The_Bravinator 2 points3 points ago

                  I was an AA before I moved to the US and gained weight. I think most people who are very slim will have smaller breasts to go with it. It felt miserable being that skinny (no boobs, no hips), but looking back that's kind of silly--it was the look that gets touted as ideal. The sad thing is that I've been skinny and I've been overweight and obviously all the way in between, and I can NEVER remember looking in the mirror and thinking "yeah, I'm happy with my weight." There must be some weight that in retrospect I'd think of as perfect, but I don't know what that might be. Always tummy too big or boobs too small, or both. I'm above my ideal weight right now, but I'm a healthy weight, and I'm probably the happiest with myself I've ever been.

                  [–]konekoanni 0 points1 point ago

                  I was an AA until I got on hormonal BC, now I'm an A. Woohoo. And I'm not Asian--I'm a tall white chick. It was really difficult finding good bras in high school. I finally gave up and just wore sports bras because it was easier than finding a cup that fit. Finding A-cup bras is easier, but still hard sometimes. See my funny story in response to the original comment. ಠ_ಠ

                  [–]konekoanni 14 points15 points ago

                  One time not too long ago, I went to Maidenform on a bra-shopping quest. I was 21 years old (this is important, I promise). I wandered around the store for some time, before coming to one of those round racks FULL of 32 and 34 A-cup bras in cute colors and cuts! I was ecstatic. I picked out three and was getting ready to go try them on.

                  Then my sister pointed out that there was a sign above the rack saying "My First Underwire" on it.

                  Yes, and your rib cage measurement would be the spot immediately below the lowest point of your breasts.

                  Here's a question 2X'ers.

                  Where do you draw the line on slut shaming? At what point does it become wrong to tell people what to do?

                  Granted I understand that it's all about having self-respect for oneself and making women worth more than the bags of fat on their chests. But what right does anybody have to tell someone to put their boobs away?

                  In a conversation with a female friend of mine she put it as "having the intelligence to discern when it is appropriate or inappropriate to show off your body."

                  A better question: when is ever okay to tell people what to do? I can't really think of a case where it's ever okay to tell someone they are dressed (what you deem) 'inappropriately', unless you are their boss and it's been established beforehand that they aren't supposed to dress that way. That and the obvious cases of illegal nudity.

                  I agree with your friend. Some places/people deserve enough respect for people to dress appropriately. Wearing a low-cut top and a micro skirt just isn't appropriate for some places (churches, schools, places were children frequent, etc.). And privately owned places can certainly enforce whatever dress code they want.

                  It's kinda like the lady who was asked to cover up her tattoo at build-a-bear. It's completely her prerogative to have and show off her tattoo of Tinkerbell having sex, but she should cover it up in certain places.

                  I believe that we can all agree that certain things shouldn't be shown to everybody. Not that it's anybody's place. But whats the point? What do you gain from showing your sexually explicit tattoo or having your butt cheeks showing from your short shorts? I don't think you can really make a good argument that those NEED to be out and about.

                  Wait where? Where are those stuff from?

                  Yeah I need some context too. /lost

                  As the ambassador form /r/all I would like to say, Hilarious.

                  This reminds me of my friend who cuts her hair short and has a flat chest and this seems the kind of thing she'd do. But I feel bad because she's been mistaken for a pre-teen boy.

                  [–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

                  I doubt she cares.

                  [–]Kman1121 3 points4 points ago

                  Well her girlfriend doesn't seem to mind so I guess things are ok.

                  Does she look kind of like Maxine from Leftover Soup (NSFW warning) to anyone?
