Is it even possible to buy a bra that does not piss me off? I doubt it. <\/p>\n
First off, I’m pissed that I have agreed to give in to the cultural mandate to wear a bra. I don’t actually *need* a bra insomuch as anyone actually *needs* a bra. I’m not ashamed to admit that; I’m quite relieved that I don’t have to worry about all that extra baggage. I’m sure I have plenty of back problems to look forward to anyway. <\/p>\n
So, my wearing a bra is a purely calculated move based on my desire to assimilate into and move freely within society by incorporating female drag. Same reason I wear makeup sometimes and wear my hair long and “ladylike.” Some female drag I have incorporated into my routine; some female drag I have not. I suspect most women pick and choose which bits of typically feminine crap they want to bother with. <\/p>\n
But if I’m going to wear a bra (which, I suspect, most of us do on a daily basis mostly to shield the world from the occasional outline of a \u2014 gasp! \u2014 nipple), is it too much to ask that the frigging thing a) not evoke images of Madonna with their torpedo cups; b) not be stuffed with so much padding that my humble size begins to look a bit more ample than it actually is; c) not come embedded with wires that puncture my lungs every time I move? (I haven’t bought an underwire in many years, but it seems that the tradeoff is a bra with copious amounts of unneeded padding.)<\/p>\n
Does there exist a bra that does not seek to pump up my modest B into a generous C? <\/p>\n
I sure as shit can’t seem to find one. <\/p>\n
Oh, and, should it exist, I’m not fucking paying more than $20 for this mythical swatch of fabric, either. What a crock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
