I have Breasts, DEAL WITH IT!!!

[fairymom]

So, yesterday I was at work, when the girl at the neighboring cubicle tapped me on my should and said : "The boss says you need to cover your breasts. There was a complaint that you are showing too much."

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Umm..I'am work, they ARE covered.

I was blessed (or cursed) with large breasts. DD's. Love them or hate them, they are there. Unless I wear a high-necked shirt or a t-shirt, there is usually cleavage. I'm also a big girl, I don't go around wearing skimpy clothes. Yesterday I had on a black silk and lace-edged spaghetti strap shirt (from Old Navy, not exactly racy!), then on top, I had a white shrug wrap. There was nothing showing. I basically had 2 tops on. Not to mention the bra, have you looked at most DD bras? They are monstrous. I'm not wearing some skimpy, push up bra from Frederick's of Hollywood here. You couldn't see even the edges of my bra, my shirt & shrug combo covered me. Also, my cubicle is in the middle of 3, and I'm pretty much surrounded. The ONLY way someone could have seen ANY cleavage was if you looked down, into my shirt. Which means, that someone from the isle-way stopped, and strained their neck to look down my effing shirt. Then they complained about it. Between me and the Isle there is a L-shaped cubicle. They much have been standing on their tip-toes.

The reason this pisses me off, it because it has happened at every job I've had. Someone (and it's always a woman) always makes a complaint. It even happened once when I was pregnant and wearing a maternity shirt! They are breasts. They were put on our chests to feed our children. Every woman has them. They don't have any magical powers, and in my opinion, I'm covered by the bras alone, and shirts are just added coverage. If you could see my aureoles, then yea, that would be showing too much, but guess what, you can't! You see the tops of my breasts, and that's all. Just because our creator short-changed you and didn't give you enough cleavage, don't complain about mine. I'm a married woman with 2 kids, I'm not trying to flaunt anything. I'm not running around in super-sexy clothes (mostly because I can't fit into them!!!), most of my work clothes are from Target and Old Navy. How about you stop ogling my boobies and do your fucking job!!!!

 

***EDIT*** Also, I realized I forgot to mention that neither my direct supervisor nor the Head of HR had a complaint about my wardrobe choice, since that had both seen me before I was told about the complaint.

YAY FOR BREASTS! i agree with you, those bitches are jealous! people are too ignorant nowdays and everything has to be about sex. i'm sick of it, and i demand that they deal with the fact that breasts feed our babies, like you said. i want to launch a movement called GET THE F*** OVER IT. or just GET OVER IT. :D which would force society to recognize the real intentions of breasts!!!

i'm right there with ya girl. i'm no DD but im a D, used to be a B and i don't know how to hide these things! so yeh sometimes my lower cut shirts might show off the girls a bit but no areolas!! oh and if i NIP and someone looks so hard that they see my nipple, tough shit, that's their fault! :D

tell them to piss off and get over it. besides from being baby food, breasts are beautiful and we shouldn't have to wear turtlenecks to please anyone. keep on keepin' on!

Ha - I love your post :) Yes, we big breasted women are hated by many a itty bitty chesty girl. Did they expect you to pull out an Ace bangade and wrap them up??? They are THERE and we're proud of them dammit (accentaute the positive and all!)

Oh and don't even get me started in all the religion floating around here....
