No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

The need for support varies a LOT with size. I never wear a bra in my own home, and I rip the underwires out of the ones I wear outside. My breasts sag, but that's normal at 60+. But I'm a C cup, so they're only protruding about 3 inches even when supported. And I only do low-impact workouts for other reasons. I wear bras to put my boobs in the parts of my clothes that are designed to have boobs in them, rather than falling out the armholes or something.
A large-breasted woman with three or four times the pounds of flesh hanging off her ribcage is not going to be comfortable slinging them around braless all day, especially when they get out of sync, as boobs are wont to do when you're moving around. Especially if she's running or jumping. Her bra has to work hard, and requires more engineering than mine. She and I have the same underlying muscles, tendons and bones, but her whole balance is under much more stress.
Meanwhile for an A cup woman a bra is probably mostly for fashion. She could have completely flabby musculature underneath and they'd still be perky.
If men had balls the size of boobs they would understand better how they can get in the way. And go 2 different ways! And it would probably be difficult to design comfortable underwear for them.
Bras were invented by women, for themselves, for their own comfort. Yes, SOME bras are unnatural and fashion-driven, and even those serve an occasional purpose. If you're a woman who doesn't ever wear a bra, great! Enjoy! Nobody should ever force anyone to wear a bra against their will. But if you choose to go braless, remember it's not necessary to disparage the women who make a different choice for their own reasons.
