Some people think it was - particularly on the large scale with which it has been represented as occurring.

I was pretty sure I saw video & pictures of bra burning & protesting when I was a kid, but could not find anything to support that it actually happened. Most links on the web say it was a myth but I am sure if you as some more mature women they will tell it happened...

Bra burning started back in the 1960,s with the Womens Lib movement.

You're making me feel old. It's not a myth--there were plenty of rallies where women burned their bras. I didn't do it myself, mainly because I wasn't old enough to wear one yet, but I sure saw it.

One of the famous feminists / bra burners in Australia was Germaine Greer.
She became infamous for insulting Steve Irwin, Croc Hunter, after he died.
She said it was nature's revenge ...
... well now Germaine is trussed into a bra again - is that also nature's revenge?

Of course not. It was a way for women to symbolically break from the chains that bound them in stereotypical roles.

I think Devans' professor need to go back to school and quit teaching people wrongly. Not only did it happen, but it happened big. (Not referring to boob size.) It was very popular in the sixty's. I didn't just read this, I lived through it.
