The lingerie line “Hope” recently released TV ads instructing women to use their “natural charm” when breaking bad news to their boyfriends. Crash your boyfriend’s car?

Women in politics are constantly trying to prove their worth in Washington. They are expected to fit in with the men and keep their wardrobe appropriate.

Brassiere Is French For Annoying

Brassiere Is French For Annoying

October 1, 2010 No Comments

Men find bras annoying, but they have no idea. Their only difficulty comes in the removal. We have to deal with the entire brassiere life cycle. Our excitement upon receiving our first adult garment quickly waned when we attempted to put it on for the first time (they’re called training bras for a reason). Posters ...

Small Boobs Are Beautiful Too

September 2, 2010 No Comments

In spite of my ample bosom and the praise it has garnered me over the years, I have always been jealous of small-busted women. They can wear no-back, halter, and deep neck tops without having to worry about how their bra will suit their outfit or if they need to buy a new one with fancy straps. ...

The Weekly Whims Of HatManJim: Is the Lingerie Football League Offensive?

January 30, 2010 No Comments

A weather-beaten eye cast over the media: HatManJim looks at a story in the headlines and as a feminist with a penis (Menimist? Femi-meni-mist? I just believe in women’s rights, I’m not having gender-reassignment. OK?), attempts to map the sexism inherent in the press, without inadvertently saying anything lecherous about breasts.

Equmen is a company making bras for men! Well, not quite, but I have to wonder how well these form-fitting, supporting, slimming tops would actually work if the man wearing it wasn’t already buff and skinny like the models (see picture).
