genuine question

Why can’t women and FAB people be topless.
Men and MAB can.

Why can’t people with, y’know, boobs, be topless?
And we have to wear bras.

What if we don’t want to?
I hate wearing bras sometimes. on more fem days, I mean.

A man or MAB person can walk around with just underwear, and nobody says anything

But if a woman or FAB person doesn’t have a bra on, let alone be topless, people say things.

I dont get it. am i just dumb??

You’re not dumb, society is. This makes me so goddamn mad, I wish it was talked about more. Your annoyance is completely justified and valid. Ugh. /m /ann /nay

Because society sexaulizes the female body for gratification. Its seen as ´inappropriate´.

My dad makes me wear a bra all day except for when I’m sleeping when I’m at his house because I have my stepbrother there.
My stepbrother could care less.

Exactly, [bleep] pureculture.

I agree. So much. In fact I’ve asked my mom this when I was a little younger and she was like “it’s just not appropriate in this society okay? (Tribal) people have different standards” and I was just like “girl what is you on”

Trigger Warning: Victim blaming (Broadly speaking, intentional sexualizing of children by Society/parents.

People don´t realize by doing this to your kid you also risk of them not being comfortable in their body and you are subconsciously sexaulizing them too not in a Predator lens but as viewing your child as object than can be viewed in such a way. even going so far makes it seem your family isnt safe. If you are telling your child these things subconsciously then they will view the world as inherently unsafe and not tell you when it actually counts.

I hate that. It´s not the child’s responsibility or fault but parents are enforcing that and thats where you get victim blaming. Monokyuu was never raised like that and I honestly because of his frame work combined with Shadow´s analytical lens and Sonic free spirited in also hating censorship culture we parent the way we do.

Im sorry to anyone here was raised their own family wasnt safe because of just wearing clothing. because that isnt okay at all even if it’s intentional or not.

I 100% agree with all these comments, it’s so stupid. ppl w/out boobs are allowed to show their nipples, but when you have boobs all of a sudden your nipples are inappropriate :roll_eyes:

Also there was this story I heard that a trans ftm person wanted to go swimming so went in trunks and got sexualised so much because they had ‘boobs’

I wonder if the same happens for people with gynecomastia. Either way, this is a situation rooted in misogyny. Women not having the same opportunities as men, unfortunately. It always happens.
