Let me preface this by saying I am a man, and smoked a little too much, so I’m sitting here thinking… what is or was the original purpose of a bra? Weight support? Vanity? Covering the nips so people’s eyes met your eyes and you can have a normal conversation? Like what’s it all about?

    You don’t want to provoke the boomers with a young woman’s nips!

          Look bro, and I apologize if any of my language seems harsh. I’m still trying to figure out if you’re trying to be instigating with your correction. So instead of an argument where we both lose, were you trying to just be corrective and respective or we’re you just trying to be a grammar troll?

              I see. You have suggestions to reword it with sou ding creepy or should I just delete the whole thing?

                not a suggestion for rewording, i think u/cheesymoonshadow did even better than my explanation.

                Just highlighting that that “offended” is fake news for people who don’t understand boomer psychie

                  I sent a comment before this, but afterwards I realize I had an opinion on this. I’ll delete the first point, but would still like a link to who you were talking about. And my asking isn’t something that is going to offend me, but you feel it’s relevant thus my opinion is relevant to your opinion. Do you think I have an outdated perspective?

                    If you used offended as per dictionary definition, then yes.

                    Boomer behavior re younger women is a bit unsettling, I noticed when I was growing up. I am making broad strokes here obviously but large segment of male population see nothing wrong with the likes of Epstein and his clients. Also, they used to make jokes about casting couches etc… how did that age? Hollywood? Gaetz or whatever that tsex pest ordering jail bait comes to mind too, they will execute that shit.

                    I have seen them acting “offended” in person, it was not offense, it was some weird power flex or in ability mange their urges. An adult man who acts like that is registered as sex pests in my mind.

            I took it to mean they meant that said boomers were only feigning taking offense but in reality enjoying the view.

              No no no. Absolutely not! I’m assumingly speaking for most people in general. I’ll do my best to make sure I’m the only asshole in my assumptions

      I don’t think it was the boomers, that’s the disco and Debbie Harry generation, right? In the 1970s the natural shape was fine and average bra size 34B. So boobs were smaller and bras less essential. The Wonderbra is the time I remember this changing, so sadly I believe it was us, GenX, who drove this change. Not me personally, I hate it. But my age group.
