I imagine that sales have returned to pretty much normal. Lots of women who were seduced by the "burn your bra" rhetoric soon discovered that heavy breasts without support are uncomfortable and soon stretch out of shape.
What is a 21st century housewife?

Just about everybody agrees that women earn less than men for the same work. But is it really true?

Have you ever known a feminist who was angry at most or all men?

Have you ever "lol'd" at a woman wearing a "This is what a Feminist looks like" shirt because she fits the stereotype so well?

Would you allow your mate to walk nude on very busy street in your city all for the 'sake of art?'

Thanks Jim. Same as what I thought. I was afraid my whimsical question would go without an answer as it touches a raw nerve.
I have been thinking of starting a bra production unit. Rural women in India who don't wear bras, but use traditional cloth for tying their breasts close to their chests, being my primary target consumers.
Will they bite or rather, would they buy the improved support system which they have resisted for so long? Long before women in the west burnt their bras...
+6.

Probably not without a clever ad campaign to convince them of the necessity to change their ways.

I am thinking of getting a 'women's self help group' involved in the project. It will be good income for the members of the group.
The rural women follow the traditional method only because it is cheap and serves them well when working in farm land mostly bending down all the time.
The rural bra must meet their needs. Just being fashionable won't do. So a fresh design is called for.

That might actually work.
