Wrong. Men are completely comfortable with that. We don't mind even if you won't use those stupid cloth pieces at all.

Try that in a conservative area and it leads to unrelenting character attacks. Those men will be uncomfortable with the fact they can't look away. Those women will be uncomfortable you're making their husband look at other boobs. Unprofessional, sinful, uncouth, hussie, slut, tramp, whore, porn star, stripper, rape bait, and any other derogatory term used to describe women that men love when they're horny, hate when they're next to their puritanical wives.
You see? That is not "man problem", that is "puritanic problem"
More like a "religiously dressed up authoritarianism" problem.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.
All I know is that I want to get more sun on my tits but I don't wanna be stared at. =U
When people talk about “men” being the problem, they don’t mean that men as a whole have this problem. It’s a problem and it mostly rears its head in men—yeah, usually older white men. And when it shows in (typically older) women, it’s often (if not always) internalized misogyny from years of patriarchal structures shaming and scandalizing women’s bodies.
So saying it’s a “puritanical problem” is really saying that the waspy religious subgroups have outsized power and they’re largely problematic men and they have indoctrinated large groups of younger people and women.
I think in the States, and even in conservative areas, women do this for their own comfort: because people are taught to be ashamed of their bodies; because men stare inappropriately; because, as you say, they might be labeled; because they're afraid of being attacked.
It's probably usually for their own comfort, because our society is ill. The attacks don't always come from men, though; many women voted for Trump, which leads to your point.
Preach, brother!
Well, hello, to all of you saying women must wear these because their conservative backgrounds or because of the male gaze. That might be the case for some. Not me. I like those foamy pieces in my swimwear and soft bras. They shape the breast in a way I find more pleasant (they sag less) and help provide physical support. Also, my nipples are sensitive and I appreciate the extra layer on top of them, helping keep everything in its place and reducing friction.
Same. I like the little nipple pillow. Makes it so it is so much less painful when it is cold.
Honestly as a man I've had plenty of times they would've saved me some pain.
