I'm not against the message but this is a uniqlo ad/partnership, just saying.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 20 points 2 weeks ago

And she appears to be wearing a bra.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 39 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

Then why's she wearing one??

I get it, you can speak against a thing etc, its just a little funny

[–] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

She’s manifesting against self care, obviously.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah she's on LinkedIn the rest of her day talking about how if you use your vacation days you're ungrateful to have a job

I hate being the 'well, akshually 🤓' guy, but what I think is going on is she's wearing a 'bra top' with built-in cups which makes it look like she's wearing a bra.

This would also explain the prominence of Uniqlo in the picture, because they sell that particular top (with the built-in cups).

It is either AI or photoshopped, or both. Just look at those lovecraftian hands.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago

I don’t think this is AI. The hands look fine to me, and all the other little details look right.

[–] Paddzr@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Also, bra can help with large breasts... My wife swears by her expensive bra we got her several years ago. It makes her breasts look very nice but also apparently helps with carrying them. Women should be the ones deciding what's right for them.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

this is a good example of how much a bra keeps them in place, just dialed up 10x from me lol


also this lady got jokes, she fit a whole damn wine bottle in there!

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 12 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Does going bra-less need campaigning? Is this controversial? Are people giving women attitude for this?

[–] remon@ani.social 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Probably Americans upset about see-through nippels.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I'm so anxious about mine being visible, I cannot imagine the sheer confidence in someone who would pierce them >~<

no shame tho, all power to y'all. just not my jam

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Nipples can stand out a bit, but my man nipples also aggressively point through my shirt at anyone I'm talking to.

[–] remon@ani.social 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Males nipples are, for reasons I don't understand, totally fine.

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Although I was lightly bullied for my perky pokies as a young man, making me self-conscious about them at a level I have a hard time suppressing or ignoring.

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

It's sexism and patriarchy. Because they aren't thought of as being for milk, and straight men aren't usually attracted to them (and thus can control themselves (to be clear we're being sarcastic here, men should not ban our boobs for their sexual attraction and they should be able to control themselves by not seeing us as objects)) then it's fine.

But really breasts and the nipples on them aren't inherently sexual and it's tiring men think/act as if they are.

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But really breasts and the nipples on them aren't inherently sexual and it's tiring men think/act as if they are.

Inherently, no, but they are secondary sexual characteristics that our species has selected for long enough that the lizard brain instincts find them sexually appealing.

The problem isn’t that men think they’re sexual or find them a turn on. The problem is men not knowing how to control themselves.

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Right because they don't get taught that's a thing they have to or should do. Because so much of the media and societal values/views teaches them that we're objects for their consumption, nothing more.

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's a tough one. The drive to mate is very strong. It was critical to the sucsess of the species. Controlling thoughts in that direction is near impossible. So how do you balance that in environments where focus is important. I honestly don't have any idea for that.

If you are only talking about controllin actions, then I am on board with you. Though men are taught to do that to some extent. They generally don't just grab women by the hair and drag them to thier man cave to rape them. Well generally. It's just they aren't taught that the line should be way back around the point ofvnot expressing any of thier thoughts without consent. Which you correctly point out is tough when media constantly shows them that the agressive male gets laid.

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

We very much disagree with what you're saying here in a multitude of ways.

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I understand. It is very difficult for the majority of people to understand how other peoples brains work when it is different than theirs. For example, people without mental disabilities usually don't understand why people with them can't just use willpower to overcome the disability.

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Then no, you do not understand entirely what we are saying, if that is what you are saying you 'understand'.

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well ok. Since your last two comments were so devoid of detail that they could have been added to litterally any thread on reddit... I guess you aren't interested in any ideas that don't match your current opinion.

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Patience, we will explain in time. We don't always have the energy to explain fully. Sorry to keep you waiting though.

I know you are a person who is trying to help others in a variety of ways. And I do applaud you for that. But ignoring the realities of others is the same that many are doing to you. Open your mind to those realities and you may be able to use that information to come up with better solutions instead of just saying other people need to magically change who they are.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I only wear bras when I'm going horseback riding or into the office for work. I have free tiddies any other time cause it's comfier. There are a lot of people, usually gen X and boomers, who think women need to wear a bra all the time and not have the straps showing ever.

[–] essell@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

There are places it can cost you your job, get you harassment my strangers or colleagues or just funny looks and shaming.

[–] FuckFascism@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I like boobs so I support this.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

I recently started wearing a back brace to work. I think I might finally understand what taking a bra off is like.
