My sister likes wearing them (not an assumption on my part; she has expressed liking bras a lot), but I can imagine that it's more freeing, as a trans person, to do so than not doing so.
I don't specifically remember that episode of the late, great, Late Show with Craig Ferguson, but EVERY SINGLE APPEARANCE of the people's princess was magical.
They played off each other so masterfully and both were just their honest selves.
She gave him a set of novelty dried kangaroo testicles on one visit that he regifted to a woman explorer with MS who was going to North Pole.
I get the point, at the same time that ain't just any man,, that's Craig Ferguson and he's amazing too. Not saying he can't make mistakes, but he's an absolute legend in late night.
There are not enough women in the fediverse to maintain femme-centric communities.
Or maybe they rather mask a man / gender neutral. Internet is not a friendly place to have girl oriented conversations. I made the mistake to be open about my gender with this account and the odacity of people is astonishing.
My ex would wear bras even though it seemed like she didn't have to.
Her warehouse work attire was loose black shirts with band art on them, so I thought it would camouflage any nipple silhouette.. 🤷 still a mystery to me, but it seemed she was worried about the gaze of others.
I'm a man and I would have been curious to hear the audience response, but my job isn't hosting a talk show. I wouldn't be surprised if Oprah jumped in.
Absolutely - I'm not familiar with this host but Dave Letterman used to butt in all the time. Sometimes he made ridiculous objections and challenges, to create opportunities for bouncing back and forth. When guests got that (Teri Garr, for example) it was always fun to watch them interact. Some others (like Cher) who didn't get it just thought he was an asshole.
If you asked the men in the audience a question about a personal, not social, issue, and a woman host tried to answer, you'd be entirely right in telling her to hold her damn horses, you weren't asking her.
I mean if you were asking a group "Do you find briefs keep your balls in line", and a woman started talking over everyone, I think it would be perfectly reasonable to say "sorry this question is only for people with testicles.".
From other comments it seems like the context is they know each other and it's not really like that. More so because it's not a broad topic, it's a question about personal experience, shushing someone trying to weigh in on how other people must feel about something they're only speculating on is reasonable.
Power imbalances exist in our society, such that women on the whole are the oppressed, and men the oppressors.
Therefore, the same situation is not equitable, depending on who is in control.
Craig and CBS are the patriarchy and in control, and Carrie is the resistance. She is permitted to rise up (in small or large part) against the patriarchy, because the power imbalance existed then as it does now.
So no, it's not okay for you to tell women to shut the fuck up. If anything, they might listen if you listened.
Not to mention that for large-busted women, it's even more uncomfortable to go without any support. My partner hates bras but is always wearing one (even in the privacy of our home) because otherwise her boobs get sore.
