My Suit of Armour

i wear my bra like a suit of armour.nothing but padded fabric strung together in just the right dimensions of my 36B female features. the two protruding sister organs that lay upon my very chest also known as, my breasts. emphasis on the word my.but it is my choice when i unlock the gates of my armour to reveal my castles. you had never received permission to be allowed in. my skin is not a free petting zoo. you aren't allowed to reach over the fence and touch me how you please. i am not an animal, i can talk and allow consent. i am a human and i am not kept behind fences at the free will for you to touch. i am a human being and you did not ask to touch my breasts. emphasis on the word my.they are not yours. they were never yours. they are not his nor hers nor theirs. they are mine. i should be allowed to feel safe in thin lace.i should be allowed to feel strong in cotton.i should be allowed to feel empowered in soft silk. my suit of armour shouldn't have to be more then just a fabric. i shouldn't have to wear bras lined with barbed wire just to keep wandering fingers out. yet the skin of your fingers still intruded their way through my bra onto the skin of my breast.  emphasis on the word my.those pieces of thick fabric felt more like steel armour to me. invincible gold chains and metal that protected my precious anatomy. but the second the skin of your fingertips slid their way into my protective armour it felt as if my chains broke into nothing but flimsy strings upon my shoulders. squeezing, grabbing, pulling, tugging, yanking, all so aggressively. that was my breast inside the grip of your fingers. emphasis on the word my.so to every human being out there.wear your suit of armour however you please.it is yours.whether it is strapless or lace.cotton or silk.sports or push up.or even nothing at all.know that you are your own steel.it is your body, your mind, your breasts.do not become fault to victim blaming for what they did to you.it was never your fault.it will never be your fault.share this message and wear your suit of armour proudly.  emphasis on the word your.*photos submitted by @bellagracecordero
