CommonWealth Beacon covered Saturday's free-the-titties march on the Common.
Unlike the Globe, which also covered the march from the Embrace to the State House, but which only showed women protesters from the back, CommonWealth Beacon stayed in front of the news.
Also unlike the Globe, CommonWealth Beacon mentioned that the protest was organized by the Raeilians, a Quebec-based religion that believes we are the cloned products of visitors from another planet, founded by a former sportswriter who says he's a human/alien hybrid prophet who has communed with both the French-speaking aliens and their female robots in their ship atop an extinct volcano in France.
Also, their symbol is a swastika intertwined with a Star of David, and they call their cloners Elohim, which is one of the Hebrew words in the Torah that Jews, for millennia, have said refers to God, but which Raelians say refers to our out-of-this-world creators.

Once again, Adam finds the meat of the story and gives us the titillating coverage we've come to expect, unlike the Globe. The reporter of this website is no booby.
Decided not to cover it myself

I mean, I wrote about boobies just last month.
Isn't not covering the point of all of this?

It was interesting the Globe left out the sponsors of the event (they did name groups, but not the ultimate group that was behind those groups).
Do Globe reporters work

Do Globe reporters work remotely, or do they remotely work?
Heading north on the Fellsway just before the left turn onto 16 we saw an outwardly happy group of maybe under a dozen, maybe eight people on our left with signs offering hugs and a blue flag with Hebrew letters on the west green off the Fellsway
I believe in equality, but need to point out the obvious, that we’re mammals and unlike the French, we’re not all desensitized.

Globe is listed as a synonym for boob. Not sure if that's about the mammary glands or the people who work there, though.

One wonders if this rally was a bit of a bust. You'd have seen more melons across the street at Lambert's.
And more empty nips …

Plenty of nips

I’m a little disappointed to learn this legitimate protest against this sexist dress code was led by whackadoddles.
I think an invocation by the Satanic Temple is especially called for now. Before Flynn puts up a barbed wire fence around the Common for public safety.

I heard about this protest via a friend and was like "I support these people, no reason why women need to cover up their boobs. Its silly"
Then I read the above about the group throwing this demonstration... and my opinion and support of them went tits up.
Well...

Apart from the fact that many of the boobs which would end up uncovered are the ones you really don't want to see... kinda like Miss Choksondik.

It's like going to a nude beach... the ones that are complete naked, walking around strutting their stuff aren't the people you *want* to see naked.
Or a lot of European beaches

Barcelona City Beach seemed to be a grand place to air the girls out, no matter what your age. Multigenerational families all hanging out together.
I felt rather over dressed, but I came to swim and I prefer to run a tight ship.
not that

Not that European Swimwear leaves much to the imagination.
My favorite was at Hampton beach a few years ago. Some folks who clearly were from Europe undressed to their swimwear
A man, who clearly was in his 60s had a G string on. His wife, where gravity was not her friend went topless.
The beach was in uproar until a life guard and a statie went and explained that revealing too much was not allowed in most US beaches. They had no idea.
So don’t stare.

Lots of odd shaped lumpy bodies out there. Bathing suits don’t hide anything.
Welcome to the real world. It’s not that bad once you try it yourself.
Comfort matters most.

And on another positive note, they give an assist to women against gravity.
They actually don’t.

Fun fact: Recent studies have shown that bras, etc cause tendons or something to not develop properly or to atrophy. Therefore causing breasts to sag even more than they would if they were not worn.
Overblown

Some of us DD chicks need to keep them tied down to do anything comfortably. I don't swim without a suit because they get under my arms. Bouncing? It hurts!
The anti-bra crowd is kind of like the "drink cider vinegar" and "cannabis cures everything" crowds - singular focus, don't sweat the details that don't match the fixation.
DD chicks should do whatever they …

… feel they need to do.
My DD chick pal got a breast reduction procedure when they got so big she couldn’t sleep on her stomach and her back ached constantly. She said it was the best thing she ever did for herself.
Not sure what smoking pot or drinking cider vinegar has to do with rejecting bra culture and abnormal expectations of how women should look. Sounds like it just helps you trivialize people who want to be comfortable. Sort of like you.
Soak in a bowl of ice water

Twice daily, and keep cinnamon sticks wrapped in tin foil tucked underneath while not soaking.
I don't think that's true

It's just that bras don't prevent them from getting saggy. But my comment about the gravity assist is more related to avoiding the appearance of sagging.
Do some research then, if you don’t believe it.
By Lee

What’s wrong with the natural look anyway? Expecting women to wear uncomfortable bras, girdles, high heels, etc and not even be able to take their shirts off in public just to meet unnatural and unhealthy body standards is so backwards.
I did research
By ScottB
Wed, 08/21/2024 - 5:47pm
And the "studies" to which you alluded were junk science. Consensus is that sagging is just genetics although there are certain exercises which one may perform to help strengthen the relevant connective tissue.
Some women care about appearance and some don't. That's their choice. For some women a well-fitting bra is helpful because it does help redistribute some of the weight if they happen to have a larger chest.
If you want to let 'em hang out be my guest. I really don't want to see them, and don't complain if creepy dudes stare at you.
You sure put a lot of effort into looking…
By Lee
Wed, 08/21/2024 - 6:29pm
… like a boob. Appearances matter.
Thanks for confirming you’re a creepy dude who feels entitled to tell women how to dress. I was thinking you were about 14. However most 14 year old boys I know have more common sense.
Sounds like you did your research in the Old Testament. Maybe you’re a priest? Or a Mother Superior?
It looks like the point of the demonstration…
