Because the sports bra is functional, and I might run errands after working out.

Honestly I think those of you bothered by this are just dealing with your own insecurities. When you feel good about your body, you don't have the energy to worry about others.

Examine your own insecurities. When you feel good about yourself and your life, you don’t feel the need to act like a pathetic attention whore at the grocery store.

Nobody cares about how hot you think you are but you. But this absolute refusal to do the bare minimum (i.e. put on actual clothes) is just a further data point indicating a society in decline.

I just don't understand why you don't throw a t-shirt on before you run into a grocery store. That's what's weird to me. It literally takes 2 seconds. You are making an affirmative choice NOT to do that, because you want everyone to see you in your bra. That is such an odd choice.

I suspect that you are relying on some unstated privilege as a fit, good-looking woman -- you basically think it's fine for you to do this, because you think you're attractive. (Like the PP that bragged about her six-pack.) You wouldn't want some super hairy 70-year old overweight guy with enormous moles and weird skin tags shopping in his skin-tight underwear. None of us would. And I think it's important to have social rules that can be followed regardless of your body size, age, beauty, etc.

We use our savings from the cheap food to buy shirts to put over our bras.

The poor whole paycheck people don't have that option.

But the woman pictured is fit. If a sweaty fat person was strolling around your grocery store in workout Lycra, there wouldn't be as much cheering as jeering from other women shoppers. Guaranteed.

You all give a pass to the pretty people we're all envisioning in these hypothetical WFs.

These women want attention. Just ignore them.

Getting attention is probably a big part of the reason why someone would go to the grocery store almost naked. So I don't understand the problem if a passerby shares their reaction.

+1. If you are out half naked, you are dressed to get attention. Surprise! You get attention. I’m not policing bodies; I’m laughing at the thirsty behavior.

NP. It's summer. It's effing hot. I'm out walking/running in a sports bra and bike shorts because it's basic survival - I'm not trying to get attention.

And yeah, sometimes I run errands while running/walking. Sorry I didn't change my wardrobe for you while sweating my ass off.

Trust me--I'd much rather it be a polar vortex and be wearing a coat. But it's basically hot and tropical these days. But something tells me you consider walking around Target to be "exercise."

Fashion aside, if you’re not changing between your workouts in which you sweat your ass off and running errands in places of business unrelated to exercise, you’re just unhygienic and gross. Have some GD courtesy.

Assuming you're at least upper middle class, why are you wasting free time grocery shopping when you can afford delivery or curbside? It all suggests you're very thirsty and desperate for attention, which, at your advanced age, is especially pathetic.

That is an even weirder take than this post. Lots of people in their 40s go grocery shopping.

The pathetic women with this fashion aesthetic are tacky, try to portray themselves as filthy rich, and always pretend they're so busy. If you're so rich and busy, why are you in Whole Foods? They go "shopping" like this solely to attention seek. They get off on it.

You are making up a very detailed narrative.

I don’t even think about them

Don’t be drinking Hatorade

It seems these trollops record themselves "working out" in their underwear to go viral showing off T&A and/or baiting random men into a reaction on video:

Wear actual shorts and a shirt over the underwear pictured to exercise. Otherwise you are clearly just some tiktok wannabe and gurl FR you don’t look good. You’re just giving it away for free. Have some class.

And before the kids get their panties in a wad, I’m 5’7”, 117lbs, former D1 athlete so I know my way around a gym, and don’t need to parade around in my underwear for attention and also am a feminist but live in the real world where wearing your underwear outside is an incredibly stupid thing to do for multiple reasons.

The PPs are full of crap. These scantily clad shoppers are clearly not coming from some intense work out. They are all dolled up with perfect hair and makeup. They are just idle rich or have fake email jobs, driving around all day in their underwear SKIMS sipping Starbucks or lemon water from a Stanley. Thirsty attention cravers who think they're a Kardashian.

I think the line just moves with the culture but the complainers always sound exactly the same whether they’re talking about women showing cleavage, ankles, or their hair. Or wearing pants. Or whatever. So I’m just always going to err on the side of not policing women’s bodies. Honestly if the culture evolves to have nipples out in the grocery store, I’m perfectly capable of adapting to that. It’s just bodies! There’s nothing about other people’s bodies that ruins my day or compels me to do any crimes or anything like that.


Omg I just lied. Bare feet on the airplane gives me HIVES. But I am far enough away in the grocery store to deal with it if I have to.

I am so glad you brought up bare feet on airplanes, because social media is full of people complaining about that and I'm sure many of the gym clothing women are doing the complaining. How is that any different? We aren't talking about shaming bodies; there is a level of disagreement about what level of clothing/covering is appropriate in depending on the public space. These norms evolve.

I think planes are a special case because of the forced proximity. Like, it wouldn’t be okay to run laps around the airport and get really sweaty and then sit in the plane, but if you’re really sweaty after the gym it’s okay to pop into the grocery store. No one would ever get as close to you in a grocery store as they are on a plane, for hours.

Nope. Just like you reject shirts in the grocery store, I reject your made-up rule about no shoes on planes, especially if the flight is many hours long.
