Talk:Male bra

message: 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)
thread_title:  Bro 

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)
replies: text: That makes it sound like they are medically necessary for women, though. 202.139.23.205 (talk) 10:50, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  necessity 

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This article is about brassieres designed for males who use them for specific 'utilitarian' purposes.  Those purposes include the effects of amounts of breast and/or nipple tissue and such things as medical conditions that are not typically experienced by males.
The bras are designed to minimize the appearance of or control movement of the breast tissue, to protect sensitive nipple tissue, as clearly described in the article.
It's misleading to include more than a passing mention of brassieres worn by male cross-dressers because male cross-dressers typically wear brassieres for other reasons, e.g. to appear more feminine or to experience clothing that is typically worn by females.  To suggest that male cross-dressers wear male brassieres is wrong, because they wear brassieres made to be worn by females and not to flatten or conceal breasts but to enhance their appearance to something closer to female breasts.
I think the article contains too much misleading information which suggests to people looking to increase their knowledge a distorted view of something that is already often misunderstood.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:EA01:1090:9063:EC8E:F8AC:7E84 (talk) 12:38, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
