Whoa!

OMG! He’s so attractive!

You are so very right! After all, this is how we ended up with Trump 2016.

A-fucking-men! Parents in the USA need far more societal support than they receive, but it’s interesting how people denigrate adults without kids while still depending on them for help, whether coworkers to pick up the slack, babysitting aunts and uncles, tutors, etc.

Many see extended family as normal and nuclear families as out of the ordinary.

Thank you. It’s easy for people to downplay the importance of cultural dynamics and expectations in societies outside their own.

It’s less of a physical need and more of a social need. However, I remember breast tenderness as part of PMS as a teen and the friction from wearing a tee shirt while braless was irritating.

It is a distinct experience that we share, and that’s why I get so annoyed that the large boob-havers ALWAYS quickly derail the conversation to their concerns. They also don’t seem to understand the distinction between small and tiny. It would be rude to do this about other body types!

Whoa, I’ve been hacked and am not 9:50pm!

Same! I insert the pads when I wanna, and go free when I don’t. At work i wear scarves for style and coverage and go bra-free most days of the month.

Do you mean a certain style? Free People make tons of bralettes.

There’s average, big, small, enormous and tiny. As a tiny boob-haver, I rejoice at this.

I knew y’all would immediately hijack the conversation. Is it ok for a skinny person to do the same in a discussion of plus-size fashion?

I think it’s hardest for type-A women who have (1) planned their life until his point and their plans worked out and (2) never had a major setback in life. When combined with something so major that’s out of anyone’s control, the result can be devastating.

Many women prefer to bond with other women by talking about their spouses and kids. It can be hard for them to find other conversation topics, unfortunately.

Also, there are ugly, average, and attractive men, but for some people, women who are not attractive don’t even register as human.

The focus could change to activities: what to wear at the beach, swimming laps, at the water park, kayaking, etc.

Many straight-sized people have fit issues as well, but a difference of 1/4" to 2" is different from 1" -5" due to varying body types. If a fashion fairy measured all women and sold plus sized clothes based on the 4 most common body types, there’d still be tons of women left out.

They can be. After all, isn’t what these legitimate complaints regarding poorly fitting clothes are about?

That’s awesome! I commend your efforts, as effective therapy and meds didn’t happen until after 30, but as a POC who is not homicidal, otherwise violent or “on the dole” nobody cares if you have depression.
