Bra Burning - What Does It Even Mean?

Some may say its anti-feminist, however lingerie has been a tool used by the feminist movement as far back as the 1800's, from corset burnings in 1874 to the Bra burnings in the 1960's and 70's. The fact is women were not burning bras and corsets because they didn't believe that women should indulge in sexy lingerie. The bras were used as a symbol. The very purpose of bras and corsets were to be restrictive, structured and supportive this was why they were used as a symbol of the restrictions for women in society. In fact the feminist movement in the late 1800's and early 1900's promoted the idea of the bra over the corset as they believed it was more suitable for women's advancing role in society.
