It’s all strangers. It is SO hot out and all I want to do is lay in my pool undisturbed but because of all the strangers I can’t even go in because my boobs got too big for any of my bathing suits and would be really inappropriate to wear in front of all of these strangers. GET OUT OF MY POOL, STRANGERS!
The central problem with this feminine technology goes beyond issues of capitalist exploitation of the consumer or patriarchal disregard for women’s concerns, arguments to which analysis through social construction readily leads. The central problem is that you cannot make a bra that fits. You cannot because breasts are living things, not standardized commodities. Any given [person]’s two breasts are never exactly the same size and shape. And the size and shape of any given [person]’s breasts change continuously […]. Added to the underlying problem with all ready-to-wear-clothing—that people do not come in standard sizes—these considerations make the brassiere an especially stark example of modern technology’s inherent inadequacy in the area to which it has increasingly turned its attention: standardizing the biological.

[I]t is illegal for women to go topless in most cities, yet you can buy a magazine of a woman without her top on at any 7-11 store. So, you can sell breasts, but you cannot wear breasts, in America.
