It used to be females were XX. It used to be society had a definition for a woman. It used to be women could do her business in a restroom without a hairy man in the next stall asking to borrow a tampon. It used to be women could strive for blue ribbons but now have to quietly bow down to men and settle for participation ribbons. It used to be women could get dressed in a locker room without a fully intact XY picking up our panties that fell on the floor. It used to be little girls and...

Poor Buzzfeed. Being part of the woke media, certain clear descriptive terms are no longer available to them. So they are forced into awkward gender-dodging situations: Buzzfeed can't call them "big-breasted women" apparently, for fear of being called transphobic. https://t.co/bnVowykSBF— Instapundit.com (@instapundit) November 20, 2018 Hundreds of big-breasted people swear they wear this bra literally every day https://t.co/kEZ63YiZ20— BuzzFeed (@BuzzFeed) November 20, 2018

Ladies, if you've ever looked at your man's underwear and thought it was a bit dull, then you're not alone. There's so much choice when it comes to women's underwear, from thongs to Brazilian and Bridget Jones -style pants, not to mention strapless, multi-way and water bras. Mostly men only have boxers or briefs to choose from. However that's all about to change, as one lingerie company have created a unique line of bras and knickers especially for men.

I never wake up in the morning thinking, “Today, I need to find something super dumb liberals are complaining about and expose their stupidity.” No. Not at all. It just happens. And I couldn’t even make this stuff up if I tried. So this Wednesday’s edition of Wackjob Feminist Wednesday has an added bonus. Racism! In a University of Oklahoma op-ed, a woman complains about nude bras. Because nude bras are clearly a subtle sign of racism toward women of color.

PITTSBURGH -- Thousands of bras stretch all the way across Pittsburgh's Hot Metal Bridge that connects the South Side Flats and South Oakland. "Bras Across the Bridge" is hosted by American Eagle's Aerie, in connection with the Bright Pink nonprofit group that promotes early detection of breast and ovarian cancer in young women. "I think it's interesting that we're doing this project on the Hot Metal Bridge that was built in the 1800s and used to carry thousands of tons of molten steel back and forth," said Marcie Eberhart, of American Eagle Foundation.

Monday it was tank tops. Thursday, brassieres were stolen. Forty brassieres, worth nearly $2,000, were stolen from Victoria's Secret in Paddock Mall on Thursday, according to police. On Monday, someone stole 101 tank tops worth nearly $1,800 from American Eagle Outfitters. An employee at Victoria's Secret told an officer she was assisting and observing customers Thursday when a man and woman asked for help. She said the woman stood in front of her holding a pink robe, while the man stood behind the woman holding a pair of yoga pants.

Although I am an environmental chemist (Ph.D in biochemistry), I have been doing a lot of literature research on breast cancer since I saw an article on the National Library of Medicine database over a year ago. That article documented an increase in breast cancer rates between women who do wear bras versus those that do not. That Harvard study fascinated me and I searched the medical literature for possible explanations. In January 1996, I discovered the book by Singer and Grismaijer and their explanation of impaired lymphatic flow intrigued me. I have since read everything that I can find...

The Swedish armed forces have been hit by a major equipment problem, according to reports. Flimsy military brassieres are unable to stand up to the strains imposed when female Swedish troops perform "rigorous exercises", routinely bursting open or even catching fire - so forcing busty young conscripts to hurriedly strip off in the field. The revelations come courtesy of the Gothenburg Post and English-language Swedish journal The Local. The Post reported yesterday on concerns raised by the Swedish Conscription Council, an organisation concerned with the rights of conscript troops in the Swedish forces. Council spokesperson Paulina Rehbinder told The Local...

Using colourful bras donated by employees at Victoria's Secret, a group of 26 mostly Saudi women completed the first course of its kind to be offered in the kingdom – how to fit, stock and sell underwear. The training organisers hope will help boost a campaign to lift the ban on women selling underwear in the kingdom. The graduates held a small ceremony at a college in the western seaport of Jiddah this week, capping 40 hours of instruction during which they learned to overcome their embarrassment at doing bra fittings, deal with customer complaints and display the stock in...

Lingerie giant Victoria's Secret is waging a cross-border bra battle with La Senza over who can lay claim to selling the world's comfiest brassiere. In documents filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, U.S.-based Victoria's Secret accuses the Canadian panty purveyor of stealing sales with a "knock off" push-up bra, one that is inferior to its patented IPEX wireless offering -- the "world's most advanced bra."

One side effect of the obesity epidemic in America is rarely noted: Women's chests are expanding nearly as fast as their bellies. Poor eating habits, as well as breast implants and the estrogens in birth-control pills, have led to an increase in the past 15 years of more than one bra size for the average American woman—from a 34B to a 36C. For many women, this has been a burdensome trend. A pair of D-cup breasts weighs between 15 and 23 pounds—the equivalent of carrying around two small turkeys. The larger the breasts, the more they move and the greater...
