Wear whatever the hell you like; and as Emma Watson said recently when she had a similar issue, feminism has nothing to do with your tits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\">Another reiterated the thought, writing, \u201cEveryone should wear what they want \u2014 when they want!

I don\u2019t know what boob size you have, but most girls with big boobs will understand my frustration that ANY outfit \u2014 even a vest top \u2014 looks slutty. But I didn\u2019t choose to have my boobs, and I shouldn\u2019t have to wear unsexy outfits so that men (and women) think I\u2019m not a slut.
