Stitching Up The Seams

I’m tired of being told everything I wear is “slutty”, tight fitting, or just looking for attention etc etc when that is bull. I just have big breasts, which are impossible to hide on account of they stick out from my body.  Of course, it doesn’t matter what you wear “sexy” or not. No one ever “asks for it”. Unless that “it” is respect.

Creepers: My boobs are not a trap. You CAN “help yourselves” you just choose not too. Stop it and fuck off.

Reblogging in solidarity with my more busty sisters…

More feminism for all.  Newsflash:  hiding your female figure doesn’t make you classy.  If you do it because it makes you feel safer, because society is violent, I understand, and I am sorry about that.  But if you do it because it makes you feel morally superior to other women, please take a moment to think about what you are doing; you are participating in a terrible double-standard which says, essentially, that men can wear whatever they wish, regardless of body type, and women must “control” themselves and do society a favor by dressing according to their degree of curvage.  THAT IS NOT FUCKING RIGHT.

In all seriousness, are men ever told that their clothing is inappropriate or obscene, based on their personal torso/hip/posterior shape?  Perhaps I’ve been clueless about social norms for the past 27 years, but methinks that no.  No, they are not.

Wear what you want.  Just stop acting like breasts, hips, and asses of considerable size are threats to the public order.

Sexism is.  Gender violence is.  Bodies are not.

Reblog for excellent commentary

I’ve gotten this my entire life, mostly from Christians. I always want to reply, “Well, take it up with God if you have a problem with the way He made me.”
