I Didn't Put A Bra On For Seven Days, and No One Noticed

So, friends, most of you know that I'm the type of person who would take every opportunity to forgo wearing a bra. I'd like to think of them as contraptions created by the patriarchy to constrict the movement of women because, obviously, women are meant to stay still and civil and serve these patriarchs gratuitously. Okay, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but considering that the modern bra's only function is to create support from over the shoulder instead of from the waist up (which is what the preceded 'corset' did) in order to "prevent sagging", I decided to take a hands-on look to see if they actually served a significant purpose in my life.

According to a French study conducted over a period of 15 years, researchers found that "medically, physiologically, (and) anatomically, the breast does not benefit from being deprived of gravity." In fact, they found that there is a restriction of breast tissue growth involving bras, in addition to weakening breast muscles.

This is exactly why I believe bras are an unnecessary evil, so I decided to go an entire week without putting one on.

Day 1: Out to the Beach with My Buddies

 

If there's something to admit, I've always wanted to wear this outfit without a bra on. My friends know how much I complain about wearing bras, so they weren't surprised at all when I told them about not giving enough of a damn to put one on today. They were actually pretty encouraging about it, and that's when I decided that I'd try and do this for an entire week. Also, my dad made me wear silly bike shorts under this dress. Okay, dad, it might be a little too short, I'll give you that.
