    OP, I'm no feminist but why should she have to wear a bra? As long as she's covered up then what's the problem? I've worked with guys with bigger boobs than me and I haven't been offended. Disgusted, yes. Offended, no.

    For same reasons that people who work with food wear hairnets. Its both hygeneic & professional.

    Was there really a need to put "Female" office colleague refuses to wear a bra?

    Did anyone really think it might be a "male"????

    Well I actually spent a Summer temping in an office that had two Male cross-dressers, who always came to work 'in character'.

    Hairnets are professional because they are hygienic, and bras offer no hygienic benefits that I know of.

    So you dont consider wearing underpants etc - to be hygenic?

    What if a girls breasts constantly leaked? Would a bra not be advisable then?
    Edit - with added Breast pads obviously

    Not the same!!!!

    But if you think women should have to wear bras for hygiene. Then do you think men should wear bras too? And if not, why?

    An innate desire to underwhelm, presumably.

    Eh...To discuss the actual topic, if you are looking for porn you are in the wrong place.

    Because there is no chance of our breasts leaking milk.

    Medical advice would be more appropriate I think.

    I fail to see why you can't discuss it with your boss if it bothers you THAT much?? Why discuss it on a bulletin board with a load of strangers?:confused:

    Following the thread around. Accusing someone of following them has more weight were I to reply to you in another thread. You fail to grasp the concept.

    Its already been subtly mentioned to her.Should this be allowed? Just put them away love yeah.

    MYOB.

    Seriously, if you can demonstrate how what a colleague wears under their clothing is any of your business, I'll be fascinated to read it.

    Here's a novel idea: mind your own damn business.

    If you're that bothered, why don't you bring it to your manager's attention, instead of discussing it here, with complete strangers???

    Well the thread is about what they are NOT wearing.And it becomes everyones business when older members of staff are finding it upsetting. And begin to voice complaints.

    First of all a colleague already has done this - without success.Secondly - Everyone on this thread is not a stranger.

    Insulting behaviour is not tolerated on this board. Consider yourself reported. See you in two weeks hopefully.
