So who invented the bra was it man or woman?

Question

and why are they so hard to open?

Answer 1

i reckon it was a man..coz during that stage in the 60's where all those woman were fighting for their equal rights they all took their bra's off and burnt them basically saying why should we wear these just to make men happy, so i think a man invented them

Answer 2

Maybe a man invented the bra because he thought the women would feel comfortable.
Or, a woman who thought that women should be "mannerable" and not into sex. So, they made the bra to restrict them.
So, I am not sure.

Answer 3

It was a woman---Norma Titzslinger. I got kicked out of a college class for saying that. The prof said Thomas Crapper invented the toilet and then he asked who invented the bra. I answered and was booted out---NOT FAIR!!! Now I'm a teacher. I do like Pebbles' answer though.
