I'm 22 and love and very comfortable with my body and the fact that I'm a woman. Anyway my mom did my laundry because she wanted to(I'm a college student that lives in the dorms). Well she found a sleeveless vneck shirt that doesn't really show everything and found shirts that show a bit of my cleavage but not much.
I said I'm a woman and I like it. She called me sick and weird. She also said that my breasts are falling out when I wear those shirts it's disgusting.
For one thing my breasts do not fall out, otherwise I wouldn't wear them. I don't wear it for attention, I wear it because I look good in them.
So what's sick and wrong about being a woman?

Nothing is wrong with it. It sounds like your mother has a problem.

There is NOTHING wrong with being a woman. I'd say we got the better half of the stick...there's so many things to be glad about being a woman for! One of them is showing off our curves and it just sounds like ur mom is a little against showing off cleavage. But theres nothing wrong with that. We were given boobs to be more attractive.

My guess is this:
Your mom is not able to sit with you and tell you that she's afraid that wearing this shirt may make you look cheap, or vulnerable, or whatever it is she thinks. Bottom line: she's afraid.
Instead, to cover up that fear, she yells at you.
Then, you get defensive and the battle is on.
If you can, the next time something like this comes up, calmly say, "Mom, what's really bothering you? What can I do that will make you feel better?"
Believe me-- this argument has nothing to do with the shirt.
Good luck. And... don't delay. I lost my mom when I was 17.

You may need to relate that to her upbringing. Maybe her mother/ father/grandparents and or their religious beliefs instilled in her that that was nasty and that women don't show themselves like that. Feminity rules the world sweetness and you shoud be proud of your beauty. Display it in whatever way you choose. Your beliefs do not have to be the same as your parents! There is NOTHING sick about being a woman or else you wouldnt see all these fashion designers and advertising companies displaying females for their products.

I'm sure you misunderstood what your mom was trying to say.She doesnt mean it's sick to be a woman or like being what gender you were born.The point she was trying to make is it's best to dress modestly even if you dont like not being able to show off cleavage.It may look good to you, and Im sure it does to others too, but the point is, most people are so hung up on looks they never see past them .I think your mom would rather people liked you for you and not your boobies.

Mom is just a little old fashion. You're 22 wear what you're comfortable in. It was not right of her to say you were sick/weird but that is probable some old fashion beliefs. Have fun you are young.

sounds like she is afraid her little girl is growing up and she's scared. there isn't anything sick about being a woman. and it also depends upon how she was raised, was she from a very strict family? that might be affecting her judgment... also, our generation tends to be a bit to accepting of lude dress, could be she's afraid that v-necks are just the beginning and that you'll stark running around in extremely revealing attire, which could end up getting you hurt by men, moms thing oddly... I don't really think she meant it to came out like that

There's nothing wrong with what you are doing. You are a smart, independent woman your mom's behavior is that related to your culture may be you come from a strong religious background where too much showing of the skin is not accepted. I would try talking to her may be she feels insecured or something else is bothering her.

Your question is sick~~Women aren't~~Some styles are !!!
Many things that girls choose to wear today are very revealing and inviting to the opposite sex.
I would prefer to think that I was a woman of class and dress appropriately rather than a girl displaying her goods.~~~Jill

Maybe your mom is a little worried about you. She may be afraid that if you look too sexy that you may get raped or just start acting slutty. You are less Conservative than she is. She has your best interest at heart.
