“Why do bras cost 50 bucks?”
They don’t, the bras YOU want cost 50 bucks.
“Why does make up cost 50 bucks?”
It doesn’t, the make up YOU want costs 50 bucks.
It’s fine to want things, but don’t act like you’re a victim because you want high quality stuff without having to pay higher prices for it lol.
it cant just be me who finds it rather jarring and unnerving that a 34 year old man and self-described “libertarian” wrote this post and yet it still gained some kind of traction
what bras aren’t overpriced though like by all means let me know
bras that you entitled “feminists” want: shiny, $50, money that could go to third world kids who need water
bra made of papier-mâché and elmer’s school glue: does the job just fine, basically $0.00, checkermate feministsok but why do cis dudes always do this lmao… why do cis dudes constantly feel the need to argue with women about how much it costs to be a woman. has it occurred to a single one of them that how the fuck would they know? jfc
Those $50 bras pay for comfort, support, and help avoid problems in the future because they’re properly taking care of your body. A bra made of “paper mache and Elmer’s glue” would ruin a girl’s back. Also the bigger size, the more expensive. ALSO if I’m going to wear this stupid contraption because you tell me it’s wrong to let them hang out or not be supported at all, you’d better be dam sure it’s gonna look as cute as what i show you on a day to day basis.
Could bras be cheaper without underwire, side ribbing, push up inserts, lace, glitter, etc? Yea, and they actually are. But when you’ve got B’s or higher, you start needing it more. But dam, don’t shame me when i don’t wear one and then yell at me when i complain it costs a lot AND THEN make cheaper versions less accessible!
Food for thought: if men had to wear a contraption to support your privates, would you want it made out of something comfortable, or paper-mache and glue that gets the job done? Chew on that before you come back and tell me to wear something that just “gets the job done.”
