SC also commented on this post. She mentioned the cultural expectations as a motivation.

With not experience in bra-wearing, it seems to me the sports bra are much more functional than the standard units.

But high-heeled shoes make no sense to me.

I just read a clip from another Medium article. Fred Astaire was regarded as a great dancer. Yet his partners had to wear high heels and dance backwards.

A definite double-standard.
