@Seek _ Where exactly is this major public outcry against going braless?_
You won’t, paraphrasing Sun Tzu if your enemy is near to you, make him think you are far from him; if you are far from your enemy, make him think you are very close. Of late, and maybe the foreseeable future you will not see a campaign against it the likes of that against smoking. Even the alternatives, that from what I can see are better, ecigerettes, and vaping are attacked for no other reason than they look too much like smoking tobacco. The campaign is more like the old Popeye cartoons where Wimpy was fat, slow, weak, broke, and always ate hamburgers. The sub-context was if you want to be strong and win all of the time, and be a hero like a sailor (the strong military influence), eat your spinach, if you want to be a weak, slow broke nobody eat hamburgers. They did not have to openly attack burger joints or hamburgers but the undercut message was clear, and if you offer someone a more acceptable and popular option you can get them to take it and make them believe it was solely their choice to do it.
@ragingloli How is that any different from Muslim Fundamentalists saying that women must cover themselves from head to toe because men may be “tempted”?
Because Muslim Fundamentalist would be dogged about holding one single standard, not have a two-faced approach to it. If they were to do it like the US they would say a female be covered from head to ankle but say nothing if she were covered in a abaya that was as transparent as the garment Miley Cyrus sported at the 2015 (I believe) VMA awards, only no balloons strategically placed, yet stone or punish a woman in a long sleeve opaque cow-neck sweater and a black pencil skirt. That would be the closes equivalent.
@jerv Because Jesus.
Er…bras were not invented then, all the women were natural about the bosom under whatever they wore, I doubt they found it anything strange as in the US at present.
Suppose this actually came to pass. Do you honestly think that they won’t find something else to be enraged about?
I am sure they will but it won’t be to prevent women from being natural, they might go after something else but not for the same reason.
