Basically, they&#8217;re a bunch of feminists&#8230; and all that that implies from the perspectives of intelligence and reason.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since I can remember, if I want an XL (or XXL, or XXXL, depending on the system used &#8211; usually, a mere L wouldn&#8217;t fit a Barbie Doll) T-shirt then I am accustomed to pay more for it than if I bought an S (which probably would need a magnifying glass to see properly). The same goes for underwear, trousers, shirts, suits, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Why do these idiots have to assume that brassieres are any different?<\/p>\n<p>Ah, yes! They are feminists &#8211; so although anything which is pro-male is evil incarnate, it is completely acceptable for things to be pro-female&#8230; and the more anti-male the pro-female propaganda is the more acceptable it will be to these morons.<\/p>\n<p>Can you imagine what small people might start doing if they twig that they&#8217;re paying the same as women with big breasts and tiny brains?<\/p>\n<p>I also heard on the radio at lunchtime that this organisation has bought shares in M&amp;S, and it plans to disrupt the next shareholder meeting with its protests (heaven knows what form these will take).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Edit: Seems like a lot of people are actually interested in  Busts 4 Justice&#8217;s  website &#8211; it&#8217;s actually a  Facebook  page and <\/strong><a title=\"Busts 4 Justice Website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/group.php?gid=18589103563\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strong>you can find it here<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>They&#8217;ve got 15,500 members, and I can&#8217;t help wondering how many of them are men.
