Do you feel it is appropriate not to wear a bra in public?

i actually walk around sometimes without a bra. wearing one for a entire week from teh time i get dressed to take a shower hurts so much on me. im overweight slightly and it doesn't help that im large breasted.
going without one, like now, feels like heaven to me due to no restrictions around my body that leaves red lines.

Guess what????

I HAVE BOOBS!!!!

And so does every single man in the whole freaking world. Does that mean all those men out there that have man-boobs (think Meatloaf in Fight Club) should be wearing bra's too? No. To imply that would be incorrect and just mean. Yet it is perfectly acceptable to have backward thinking men and women out there actually ask such a moronic question like, "sweetie, did you forget to put on a bra this morning?"

How on earth can a person "forget" to put on a bra? WHOOPS!! I forgot to put on a pair of pants this morning!!

I wear a bra in public in China because the ground is not even. All that bouncing from pot holes, stair climbing hurts. I do get tisked at when I wear an unpadded bra (and holy cripes want to know??? I actually found unpadded bra's to be more comfortable than padded!!! I was shocked!). Even if I just walk from my apartment to the store on the first floor with no bra on I get tisked.

Yet the women who tisk me usually are not wearing a bra.

Double standard.

When I am at home, I flat out refuse to wear a bra. They are so uncomfortable to wear, like a cage. After a day of teaching, my shoulders hurt and it is quite literally a mini orgasm to free my breasts.

In Canada, I grew up in a family with five women and my dad. We all hated wearing a bra, but did "out of respect" for my father. By the time I was fifteen I thought screw it. If he cannot respect us and clean up after himself then why the heck can't I be comfortable too?

From that point on? Bra's were hardly ever worn at home.

Western society for all our notions about sexual freedoms and sexual rights and "modern" thoughts.... we are such prudes when it comes to our bodies. What a backwards world!

I think it's quite hot if the breasts are firm. If someone who has tits hanging down around their waist and they just wear a t-shirt that offers them no support, that to me is trashy.
My tits aren't firm any more, but if I go braless I make sure I wear a top that offers me support. I just can't go with no support.
If I was firm, I sure would!!!

And depending on the bra, ya can still see hard nipples.

i hate a bra but would not go with out unless the top had a built in bra
but each to there own

I absolutely will not wear a bra. Anyone who cares should re-evaluate their OWN issues and priorities. My breasts are not here for others' judgement.

I absolutely can't wear a bra. It hurts too much. It's either go out without a bra, or stay home all the time.

If they dont like it, they can look the other way! You should have asked them why they were looking at your breast to begin with! lol

Everyone should be allowed to be comfortable without being pre-victim blamed for inviting harassment.

I think if society wasn't so into "OMG! It's boobs!" We wouldn't be having this discussion. I think going without a bra is fine. I do it from time to time.

I need a bra ... like others have said, mine are just too big to not have torque. If you can go without it, great for you. Frankly, I don't really notice the absence on anyone under a C. Over that, it becomes a little strange seeing someone's breasts hanging about their waist, but nothing worth drawing more attention to.

Often at home, I go without. I'm more comfortable wearing one when I'm out and about, but to each her own if you're more comfortable not wearing one. Doesn't bother me!

I think as long as you're wearing a shirt that won't expose you every five minutes that it's your choice.

I don't think women with really LARGE breast should go without bras... Some women don't have the best looking breast, and I personally don't wanna see boobs that almost touch your knees... It's not sexy!

I have no problem with women that don't want to wear a bra. Hell, I'm not wearing one right now!

As long as they aren't hanging out the bottom of your shirt or your nipples are so hard that you're endangering those around you by not covering them... Who cares?

Women's breasts and nipples are oversexualized a lot. I think it's really up to what you're comfortable with and shouldn't be up to anyone else, really.

if I had small breast I would not wear a bra ever.

I voted it depends on what type of shirt you are wearing.
