To bra or not to wear a bra
Who decides whether your girls should be restrained or run free?
You?
Your man?
Society?
This is exactly the problem pondered in this column in Annie's Mailbox.
The writer is perplexed about whether she, heavy breasts and all, should wear a bra.
Her husband, she says, likes for her girls to be free at all times, and she lets them bounce around, even after getting dirty looks from other women at groceries stores and in public.
(Count me in on that one - please, sister, cover those things up!)
What to do?
What to do? I just don't know.
The girls at the mailbox set her straight.
They tell her that she should decide whether or not SHE wants to wear one, and that it's really not up to her husband.
Her husband, apparently, is a bit of a freak and likes to show off HER boobs.
She's obviously not comfortable with not having one on, and hates the dirty looks, but she doesn't want to make her hubby mad.
Hmmm. . . perhaps we should all be this considerate of our lover's needs. . .
No, we shouldn't.
My suggestion is that he gets some breasts, and then he can show them off as much as he wants.
Maybe I'm just a hater.
What do you guys think of this one?

Bra is not a dirty word; if you have big girls, they need holders so at age 36 they are not hanging to your knees. There are some great bras out there that allow for a more natural look, they are not always cheap, but it is a way to please your man and still feel comfortable. Me, I would wear bras in public, at home, as long as it wasn't painful and he was home too, I'd let the girls be free.

Maybe I'm just too much of a feminist, but I have a big problem with women adjusting their looks or how they portray themselves to please their men.
I'm all for looking as nice as YOU want to, but men don't know how irritating or painful things can be. Like not wearing a bra if you have big girls.
Not to mention how bad they're going to look in a few years if she's going around braless all the time.
