I just got a chuckle out of the idea that society is at fault for the presumption that bras are for women. Bras were invented for people to cover and support breasts. The majority of the time, the people who need that to be done are women. (And, of course, back when bras were invented, the idea of a man having/developing breasts would have been substantially less well known.)
Women generally wear bras out of necessity - the same purpose for which bras were invented. If a guy (or a woman who doesn't necessarily "need" one) wants to wear a bra for "fun," I don't really care one way or the other.

Well, yeah, bras were designed and made for women. But men can wear them if they choose, there is no laws or rules or anything against it. Therefore, they are not only for women.
