[edit] Bro
Do people really talk about their "bro's"? Perhaps we should leave the Seinfeld reference in. ;) —Lantoka ( talk | contrib) 08:10, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] necessity
The line about there being no necessity for men to wear one seems to imply that anyone who does does so for perhaps less than acceptable reasons. If the line means that there's no social pressure to (even for men with substantial development), as there is with women, then perhaps it should be rephased as such- if it doesn't, it seems preachy. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.226.103.82 (talk) 00:25, 8 December 2006 (UTC).
- I threw in "medical necessity" to clarify that point. Whoever wrote that is trying to say that it's a choice whether or not to wear a bra, regardless of gender. —Lantoka ( talk | contrib) 00:58, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] male Bra better as its own article
The male bra stands out on its own given how unusual it is in public discussion and presentation. There is a LOT that can be covered on the female bra and that article is already long enough. Given the separate foci of the two articles (and types of bras), the Male Bra should have its own article to allow for more details than would be appropriate in the "Brassiere" article.Mattnad 23:57, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
I have a question; Where do I find a male bra? I have size 48B breasts and female bras just don't fit right.[user:NinefootNinefoot 19:59, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Male Support Vest
The company referenced that sells a bra-like product for men calls it a "Male Support Vest". The terms "mansiere" and "bro" seen to have little currency outide the Seinfeld episode in which they are introduced. IMO this article should be deleted and "Male Support Vest" (with its Seinfeld nicknames) mentioned in the brassiere article. --House of Scandal 12:35, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- Deleting this article would be a rather extreme response. While there may be men who wear a "male support vest" specifically designed for men, there are also many men who wear bras, that is, feminine garments designed for women. I would suggest many male bra wearers do so for reasons other than support, as this article hopefully outlines. 81.78.178.42 19:15, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Can I just comment on the above poster that a bra is NOT a "feminine" garment - but is actually classed in the encyclopeadia that it is "A unisex garment that can be worn by a man or woman to support the breast/bust area". Thankyou. --88.110.148.234 (talk) 13:16, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
