If Men Had Boobs


Today I had the unpleasant experience of shopping for new bras. You must understand that I do this only under extreme duress. I don’t like shopping for anything (I know, unusual for a woman apparently), but shopping for brassieres is the worst of the worst. When I find one that actually fits, I buy like a zillion so I don’t have to go shopping for them for at least a decade. However, I’ve lost a lot of weight recently, which necessitated said shopping trip.


Suffice it to say that I have big boobs. Real boobs, too. No baggies filled with gelatinous substances inserted here! But now my size E boobs are only size DD boobs, which although smaller, are still plenty big. I am a curvy girl but my boobs are not billowing rolls of lard. They're just plain ol' big. I should also point out that I am fairly short, 5’ 3” to be exact. Evidently, these physical features seem to render fitted lingerie a near impossibility. Unfortunately, women with big hooters don’t have the luxury of walking around braless. If we did, our tits would eventually hang down to our navels, much like those tribal women in the National Geographic magazines. No thanks. Bras are a must.


So, after rifling through rack after rack of bras of every shape, size and color imaginable hanging on those stupid little hangers that get caught on each other, other bras, your sleeve, your purse, or whatever else comes in close contact with them, I came to believe that men and men alone design bras.


Therefore, this rant goes out to those dipshit male bra designers. If you men had boobs, you’d understand how frustrating it is to buy a decent fitting bra, but since men only have balls, allow me to enlighten you.


First of all, whatever inspired you to believe that a woman wants a piece of inflexible wire shoved under her boobs for ‘support’? Is it some kind of latent, sadistic desire to torture women? Let’s put that same wire in your whitey tighteys and see how much you like having a piece of wire grinding on your balls every time you move. How you’ve managed to flood the market with these instruments of torture is beyond my understanding. Excuse me, but my boobs, nor any other woman’s boobs, needs to be supported by a piece of fencing. Although in your primordial brain you may think of boobs as udders, we are not cattle and our boobs do not need to be corralled. Thank you very much, asswipe.


I realized today that male bra designers prefer small boobs. I can prove that because it is nearly impossible for anyone with big boobs to find a bra that is even remotely attractive. For those of us who are well endowed, it seems that bras are for utilitarian purposes only, that is, to hold those boulders up where they belong. No, instead of those cute, colorful bras for the tiny-titty-B-cup-and-under set, we get white, black or tan (and sometimes pink!!) industrial strength bras whose only embellishment might be some itchy lace. Let’s put some of that lace on your y-fronts, shall we, boys? And let’s not forget to mention that these same behemoths have shoulder straps that could double as seatbelts. Jesus effing Christ. Have some imagination, will you?


It has taken decades for women’s clothing to come in more diverse sizes, but finally it is possible for those of us in the low altitude zone to wear jeans that don’t drag along the ground and shirts whose sleeves aren’t rolled 5 times so they don‘t hang off your hands. Halle-fucking-luiah! So, now that we’ve come this far, why the hell haven’t any of you moron male bra designers figured out that short women have short bodies, therefore, it might be a good idea to shorten the length of the shoulder straps? Imagine yourself walking around with your whites drooping down your ass all day. That’s what it’s like. Dickweeds.


I believe that you poop-for-brains male bra designers imagine that every woman has boobs like Barbie’s. It probably relates back to your childhood when you hid in the closet with your sister’s Barbies, perversely stroking those enormous plastic tits. Let’s face it, Barbie has some pretty perky knockers, but it begs the question: Have any of you imbeciles ever seen any real tits? THEY ARE NOT POINTED!!!!! And furthermore, real boobs can’t be squeezed into points! So why do you design bras that could pop balloons, retards? Does anyone have deformed enough boobs to wear one of those monstrosities? Oh that’s right! Barbie does! Good lord.


Okay, I’m done ranting. I feel better now. Thanks for listening! By the way, for the record, after an hour of trying on a multitude of brassieres, I managed to find ONE that fit, although it looks like a seat cover for an F-150 with obligatory seatbelt straps – white, of course. Swell. Just swell.

You go! I, too, hate bra shopping, and I just got a full time job working from home so won't have to wear them most of the time. I wear D cup myself, and have the opposite problem from you. I am a large, TALL woman. Why do people seem to think that large women are just ROUND and short? I have LONG arms, and LONG legs. I have pretty much taken to buying men's shirts and sweaters because I hate reaching out for something and having the damn sleeve pull up to my elbow! Egad!

I feel your pain!

LMAO Wendy! Thank you for the good laugh! As a former nearly A (now an almost B thanks to beer and chips) I can't say I feel your (underwire) pain but I do hate to shop for bras and undies. Fun post!
