I like that it's not an under-wire bra, but I still get really good support. The v-shape and strap goes with almost any neckline, and the super breathable Merino wool material has really saved me during the really hot summers where I live. Plus getting more time between washes is really nice too.
Totally thought I was on the cycling part of Lemmy for a minute lmao.
There was a time when I'd only wear a bra when going out of the house and when exercising. Horribly uncomfortable, sometimes painful, and I couldn't wait to be out of it.
...and then I found a bra I really like, that's the perfect balance between comfort and support, and now I'm way more comfy in them than out of them and wear bras nearly all the time.
Also, shout-out to Branwyn, who makes the best bra in the world lol.
It seems like these news stories only get written when the victim is a cis person mistaken for being trans.
Maybe if you all stopped brigading, taking over, and drowning out all the womens' voices on a womens' community, that rule wouldn't need to exist. This isn't Reddit where it's more of an even split.
It's frustrating. It feels like even progressive men here (not all, but many) aren't willing to listen, while making it all about them. And because of the vast male majority, it feels like most threads on womens' issues consist of off-topic defensive comments. I don't recommend Lemmy to women either.
That being said, you're all worth it. Reddit as a whole isn't what it once was. And womens' Reddit communities tend to have lots of people, which can sometimes lead to negative spiraling when bad things happen. I get it, but it would make my mental health worse.
On Lemmy, it's a small, friendly space much like the old internet. I recognize a lot of the same folks on these communities. We uplift each other.
Lots of people here can very hostile about us being here, but we're making this place a little friendlier and more inclusive, and I'm glad we're all here. We've got each other's backs.
The comments on this post are examples why there are so few women on Lemmy lol.
It's a complex issue for sure, but I'm really proud of this thread for consistently using the term "trans women" when talking about the differences between trans women compared to cis women and cis men in sports.
On Reddit, most people on this debate just say "biological males," "males," or "men" in situations where they're clearly talking about trans women, which is a clear tell that it was never about fairness in sports for them.
You'd think the literal apocalypse happening would be an acceptable justification for not being dolled up 100% of the time, yet here we are with Aloy.
And honestly, she looks pretty good for someone socially ostracized her whole life, not having a mom, and roughing it her whole life in a cabin that doesn't have running water. It could be a whole lot worse than just peach fuzz 🤷♀️
I've fortunately never had to use online dating apps myself, but I have looked over male friends' dating profiles.
I think my best guy friend would be one of the better men out there, but he just got out of a seven-year relationship, is in a hurry to settle down before 30, and comes off really intense in his profile and messages without realizing it. Three big red flags right there.
One example in his profile: while it isn't a red flag to like cuddling, it is one to say his idea of a perfect first date is meeting for coffee, then going back to his place to cuddle and watch a movie. It took a lot to convince him to revise that section on the grounds that most women prioritize safety and won't want to go back to a man's place on the first date.
I actually always knew my name, so that came naturally. But my middle name took a lot more consideration and I ended up settling on one shared by two video game protagonists that inspire me lol.
