We have Blackberries.
We have the iPhone.
We have really snazzy laptops.
My husband has more high-tech clothes and shoes and emergency gear.... really serious stuff for fires and chemicals and explosions and dirty, wet, ugly, nasty and dangerous stuff. He can go anywhere with this gear.
We're a bit outdoorsy and our garage has all this STUFF in it....
We have kevlar, and polartec fleece, and lightweight breathable high-performance sport fabrics.
We have programmable appliances from coffee pots to a refrigerator with a TV in it.
We have smart cars with cameras....and wireless uplinks....and remote assistance.
We have technology, engineering, and product advancements up the wazoo.
So, will someone please tell me...
As I just unloaded my front-loading, high-efficiency, water and electricity saving HE2 washing machine....
Why the HELL can't someone create an underwire bra where the underwires AREN'T wires...
and if they ARE wires, why they aren't some space-age material from the space-shuttle.....
something that bends and flexes......something that is wearable and durable and that
DOESN'T FREAKING SELF-DESTRUCT IN THE WASH......
...thereby snapping in half (in the casing of the apparel of course where I CAN'T SEE IT)
and then effectively acting as a maximum-security-death-row-inmate type SHANK to my ribcage?
On top of that- once the wire has blown- you have to throw the whole thing away- or pull out the wires and render the support system, "combat ineffective". Crap.
I'm telling you- if men had to wear these things- we'd have some newfangled, space-age material...
something tried and developed with NASA and NORAD, CIA, FBI, NOAA and a bunch of other acronym things........
I know why we still have a thin, flat, SHARP piece of wire next to the things that men claim to love most...what they find attractive...what they stare at in public and in movies...what they talk about as teenagers and what they ogle as college boys.....because they don't have to wear them.
I vote we mandate, for one month, that men have to wear a pair of underwire jockey shorts..... with that same flimsy, unreliable and crappy wire they use for us.....because I can guarantee you- a month is all it's going to take.
Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go throw this torture device in the trash and find a band-aid for my owie. Harumph!
