This follows an article I read on
THE LOGICAL INDIAN and a recent argument I had with a friend as to why women
would wear something to show off the straps on their bra. I'm no expert on
female psychology - like there is anyone who can claim that; But these are, to
the best of my knowledge, which I would humbly admit needs constant updating
and improvement. Nevertheless on the other hand, I do very strongly feel that
guys or men who actually have a serious problem with it need to genuinely reconsider their
mental health.
I guess this one is a tad too honest for comfort but a nyway...
You know why women let their
straps show sometimes? Because they look hot. If you can carry it off that is.
And what is wrong with that ..? Can you deal with it..? And by the way a sizable population of men find it that
way as well.. Fine, let me not generalize by saying 'most' men.. At least I
do. And I am in no denial about it. It is for the same reason some guys seem to
take great joy in wearing low slung jeans and show off their clavin klein or
jockey underwear.. although it beats me which girl with any sense of aesthetics
would find such a sight on the road attractive. Because you know.. I think women
have better yardsticks for assessment than their male counterparts.
Women wear it because, just sometimes, it makes them feel good about the way they look.. and what is wrong with
that? And there is definitely nothing wrong with you as a guy if it looks
attractive to you. This, as long as it can stay to the point of appreciation or
even mild admiration and can tell your dick to shut up and behave. If you can't
do that, forgive me.. but I don't think you are man enough to wield your
python. This, as long as your putrid mind is not telling you that a visible
strap is, in some weird way, a desperate woman sending you a distress call to
get into her pants. Because as I said before, women usually have better
yardsticks than "hotness"; and lets face it guys, we are not as yummy
as we think we are, in those fantasized so called "inviting" environments
where she would supposedly enjoy our leery glances.
And lastly but probably most
importantly, sometimes women wear it so because frankly they just do not give a
damn about what you think or judge them to be. And what is wrong with that ..? Probably
it doesn't even go as far as to bring your "much valued" judgmental opinion
into the arithmetic. It sometimes shows .. sometimes it doesn't. Big deal. We men need to realize that unlike for
us, to most women, a bra is as mundane as the innocent little T shirt- maybe a li'l more important.. I don't know :P. But reasonably speaking, i don't believe they are really thinking as to which one would be the weapon of choice for the day.
And lets not confuse this with
modernity or liberalism. Wearing "less" is not what constitutes freedom, it lies in wearing what you
want without being painted with prejudice. And the responsibility to nurture
this freedom lies with the both of us. The female form is almost a form of art
except for one minute detail that it is so much higher than art itself. But ever so more substantially tasteful is the female being. So lets not reduce its worth by judging her
just on the basis of the things she uses to adorn the form. Probably keep a
wider view of the world and take heed of the being which just like yours and
mine dreams, feels, hurts, loves and lives. I don't need my head to tell me to respect
a woman because "Oh she must be someone's daughter..or someone's
sister". Lets respect women for well, simply being women.
With or without the strap showing.
