Burn Baby Burn

I never really understood the whole issue of the bra burning during the feminist movement, just as I never really understood the Boston Tea Party as being the name for a movement for the people throwing tea off the side of a boat.

Well after growing up during a time in which the use of bra flip flop, I just feel like talking about this for a second. Now first off, I don't remember who started the whole bra burning business but I have come to the conclusion that because of that event the price of bras will remain higher than that of underwear. But maybe that's just me.

Being that probably most of our ancestors didn't wear bra's and these historic paintings show these perky breast without support, I'm wondering where in the world did my genes go?

Back to the price of bras, price increases because of size. I don't even know why they waste the cloth for making A-cups. I mean an a-cup breast is not even enough to get the effects of gravity. b-cup are barely just making as well. So say you are one of the a to b cup women out there, be happy that you don't have the increased price of a bra, at least you get a pair of matching panties to go along with that for the same price one bra would cost me.

So I gather that the women burning these bras didn't exactly need them because I know that as much as I paid for a bra, it would NOT have gotten burned for any movement, unless it was a movement towards lower prices.

Sad thing for me is there are some pretty busty women out there, I've seen them and so have marketers. I mean why in the world would people get boob jobs if it were just for the bra. Even with all the increases in size, you can never seen to find a matching set. I mean I can get 20 pair of underwear for the price of one bra.

So thanks to all my foremothers for making all those sacrifices that have come back to bite me in the Boob.
