[In other posts I have talked about how, on more than one occasion, I choose to go out without a bra. I see it as somewhat comfortable for occasions and extremely uncomfortable for all the rest, so I assume that they can be noticed at some point.]
Sports bras, which simply serve to support the chest without any padding, usually mark them perfectly. That is why in some photos exercising I am used to reading the comment of the smartass on duty (that the smartass on duty is usually a friend to annoy) asking me if I was cold. No, I wasn't cold, I'm a human with mammary glands (just like him, by the way).
The naturalness with which I think about the matter comes to be a particular feminist claim in which I refuse to cover them. They are something natural and if they can mark them with t-shirts (yes, dears, you also sometimes go with your nipples to scratch diamonds) I want the same right without listening to the usual comments.
In one of these, one of these 'enlightened ones' of the Lord, made me notice in a photo that my nipple was visible. Wow, don't tell me? Maybe it's because I HAVE nipples.
The thing is that I told him if he had any problem, to which he replied “Show it !!”. Yeah, no accent, I was too excited assuming my nipple was just for use and enjoyment that he forgot to add it. Very kindly (that is, without telling him to go to hell, an idea that I was stroking) I told him that I did what I wanted with my body: “I teach it to whoever I want 😉 and you are not on the list”. Pure elegance. Queen Elizabeth II applauded my phlegm from Buckingham.
What my interlocutor answered was the following: “Better, because they are very small hahaha“. Well, you wanted to see me little sparrow. It not only objectifies me but also attacks my self-esteem using a social network.
At that moment, without thinking, I filed a complaint on Instagram to this user (complaint that, by the way, has entered them through one tab and has come out through the other. Who the hell regulates complaints? Monkeys?).
I know that kind of comment to another woman, or even to myself at another time in my life, younger in mid-teens, would have hurt me. It is these attacks that make people later develop insecurities and become unable to accept themselves as they are, so they must be denounced without exception.
Harassment has no limits and with social networks it is much easier since you do not have to show your face. Using the keyboard we can harm people who are miles away. But the really serious thing is that without knowing someone (or even knowing them) some feel they have the right to criticize or judge by the physical when NOBODY IS PERFECT and we are much more than that.
