History behind the Bra toss Challenge

Guys, I know some of you still feel that this whole challenge thing is objective less and all, but we should see that bras offer support to women. Additionally, tossing this support to someone shows that you support that person.
Another perspective to see this challenge is looking back to the early 1960s, where the feminist revolution took place. Furthermore, feminists claimed that items like bras, false eyelashes and other materials like them were oppressive and patriarchal and reduced women to sex objects. Some women publicly disavowed bras in an anti-sexist act of female liberation.

In 1970, a similar protest took place. At least one actual public bra-burning is documented, at a feminist rally in Lower Sproul Plaza in Berkeley, CA on 2 June 1970.

So, from this perspective, we can conclude that women are self-sufficient, naturally attractive. Moreover, they are not the mercy of someone’s support.
