As a woman I’m struggling to understand why this would be considered disrespectful?

It honestly makes me pretty sad that the female body is so sexualized to the point that we have to wear uncomfortable and unnecessary undergarments just to cater to y’all. In public is one thing but in our own homes?

A common thing I’ve seen in this comment section is ppl drawing parallels from breasts to penises which are completely invalid. Breasts are chests and penises are genitals. Walking around bare-chested is equivalent to having your pecs or boobs out, NOT to walking around with your dick or vagina exposed. Plus, most women aren’t even shirtless at home, they just don’t have bras on bc they’re uncomfy

Disrespectful is definitely the wrong word.

I think after a certain point some people just don’t want to see that as a father or brother. I really don’t have an issue with it and I don’t know where it comes from.

In conservative houses they usually feel it’s inappropriate to show skin around men even ur own dad and grandpa and also to hide the fact they are on period

You can’t tell a woman is on her period just by looking at her boobs 😭

If we are just talking about a daughter not wearing a bra around the house, maybe dad sees it as indecent and therefore inconsiderate. Kind of like the single mother with sons example I gave in the original post.

Oh wonderful thank you for notifying me, I was saying that in houses that ask women to wear bra, they also typically think mentioning that your period exists is shameful

My bad I didn’t read my comment. I made a similar one on a different post talking about girls not wearing a bra in public and assumed this was the same thread😅😅😅

So to actually answer the question. It’s not that their fathers or brothers are looking but it’s just there. Like if someone was walking around with their dick out. Yeah you aren’t gonna stare at it but it would be nice to have a conversation with them without it dangling down there. Breasts are inherently sexual and some people believe it should be confined only to that context.

you see except breast aren't inherently sexual? they are a source of food, that's literally the reason why women have larger breast than men bc of the mammary glands.

That doesn’t mean they aren’t sexual. Men are attracted to large boobs because that means they will have more food for the baby. In the same way men are attracted to wider hips because it means they can bear children better. Things become sexual because it is an indication of a desirable trait.

Would you want to see your dad walking around with his dick hanging out? Or pants that allow you to see the dick print?

A dick is an actual sex organ though, that’s like the equivalent of walking around with ur vagina out which yeah I’d say u shouldn’t do lol. Breasts are only sexualized because men have made them that way. And I’m not saying to like completely be topless or wear a sheer shirt without a bra but in ur typical shirt it should not be that much of a distraction, especially if it’s ur fucking family.

Boobs are just as sexual to men as a penis is to women. Not because men sexualize them but because biologically they are a sign of a positive trait as I said before. I understand that the dick hanging out was an extreme example. But the dick print still stands. I don’t want to see my dads dick print and I’m betting you don’t either. Also remember I said I don’t have an issue with it I’m just trying to discuss from a standpoint I don’t have.

Just because they’re a sign of a positive trait doesn’t make them inherently sexual. Ik that’s what we’ve been socialized to think is boobs are sexual but biologically that’s just not the case and men are allowed to walk around completely shirtless most of the time. It’s just annoying getting judged for something that we can’t control we have and that is a pretty visible part of our torso regardless of if we wear a bra or not, and I’m tired of men acting like it’s seductive or provocative when

Honestly if people didn’t think the way they did I would. There’s no reason men should be able to have their nips out and I can’t, but obviously I won’t because it’s illegal and Ik people think differently of it than I do.

You're also making a broad generalization for all men. In several european countries women can walk around topless in public and it be entirely non sexual, let alone not wearing bras. In Brazil it's socially acceptable to kiss someone on the lips within moments of meeting them, and its abt as sexual as a handshake is to you and i. So no boobs aren't inherently sexual, nothing really is unless u give it that power.
