Yeah, Multiple Sclerosis. Though I do have a master's degree, but it's not an MS funnily enough. It matters because if we're talking biology, there aren't many people who are like 'yeah, I'm going to have the

I agree that reparations make no sense for sex based oppression historically. The only/main type of reparations I might agree with is something like extra social security for women of an age where they were legally prevented from earni

This is a fascinating question because we're in a transitionary period. Like my mother, who is very much alive and still working, was 100% a victim of sexism: She was alive in and grew up in times where she couldn't have a credit

The tradeoffs. I've spent time in dangerous urban areas as well as safer urban areas and rural areas. Dangerous urban areas have a combination of two things that are of major benefit to people looking to better their life situation: 1.

In my case the problem is that I need things to be where they make sense for my brain or I lose them, and my sister (who I live with) has the type of anxiety that manifests as needing control over and having a 'tidy' space. So it

For health reasons, they're not needed. For comfort/exercising viability, it's going to depend on the person and the exercise. Most smaller breasted women aren't going to need a proper sports bra. Exceptions are women

I do the same. My other rule is that wherever I look for it when I've lost it is where it belongs. It causes a fair amount of friction with housemates, though. Have you figured out any way to alleviate that when it comes to areas used

Almost nobody needs a bra (as in their health won't suffer if they don't wear one; there are exceptions like large busted women whose skin rubs and will create sores). A lot of small-busted women either don't wear bras or j

Breast tissue varies wildly in terms of density and mold-ability. Breast tissue can absolutely fight a bra and win slash refuse to conform.

It's a combination of three things: 1.) Not wanting to be 'fat'. 2.) What you said, where they don't want the unwanted attention. In the case of women who are over 40, a lot of them also lived most of their lives in a cu

Comexim is the only brand I've found that's close-set enough for me, but I usually do wear Panache bras. My Ava and Roche are in very heavy rotation, and even if the gore on Claras stab me, they're so pretty ... I love that

It's possible to make bras that don't rely on tension - Empriente does it - but they're insanely expensive at over $200 per bra. (Compared to 15-20 dollars at Target/Walmart or 60-100 at a decent boutique). There are sti

No, because the tension in the fabric of the band is instrumental in producing the support, and a fully adjustable bra would have varying fabric tension which means varying force so it wouldn't work. This is why straps can be adjustabl

Yes. Ask what brands they carry and ask what brands they carry to cater to different sizes. And if you want them cheaply, you can learn which cuts fit you and look for old, out of season bras on eBay or Amazon. For instance, I'm a fan
