Re: Oh Bra…No Bra…A Macho Request or Real Gender Issue !!!!

If you are asking me...
Let me see if I can help...many of the statistics that you see are just numbers in 50% of the cases, and if they are true..they are culture bound...or based on European and American subject and data...
Anyway let us suppose the that it is true..(the underwire issue). I would maintain that is only if there was lead in the wire in the bra AND it was in constant contact with your skin...
Then when you sleep and your body produces moisture...the resulting substance could leech in your skin...and may cause some kind of cancer...but you never can tell who is going to have cancer from what...
We should remeber that cancer is not an illness in itself, it is the state of an illness...
Some are even curable/reversible now...
In Jamaica once I saw a boy who died from cancer after being hit by a cricket ball on his foot.
In Thailand I saw a man who had a steel pole straight through his head( it fell off the back of a truck)...he is till alive as if nothing happened to him...I know him personally...
Now that underwire bra story could easily have been a case of one advertiser against another advertiser and his research was done explicitly to get buyers to switch brands..,
It is a common US (it can catch on anywhere)thing...where specific data is used for advertsing...bit it could still be true..
Finally...just choose another bra...
I have learnt... that it is not a tight bra that is worn...by most of the women...
And for the night bra(yup the have softer bras for night [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] suh me hear again),it is not tight, it is to keep the breasts from flowing to the sides...and like I said they sleep on their backs...both as cultural thing and to keep the breasts from sagging...
Talking about discomfort...I had an aunt in Jamaica who was a hairdresser...and I used to see some hairstyles...
When I asked how the women slept...they said sitting up...now that is torture..

Ahhhhh [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] kinda....but I think I opened a Pandora's box....but I expect angry responses because it runs contrary to what many women think is a rational freedom position, though they have never given it any conscious thought...
Many women who think they are free when they bare themselves, will admit to you if they are honest, that they have not really considered it...
In truth their position is just a reflex action...prompted by a media image of beauty, and the myth of freedom.
Many women are not even free to change their positions in this, because of the attendant social pressure brought to bear on them if they choose to be really free(of the stereotypical free women, who is so free she is public property despite herself) and stop bearing themselves.
Another thing...this thing works...do I have to show before and after photos...
Peace
