Stop breakin’ in your bra and booty shorts…

yomaresco:

I randomly decided to check the bgirl tagged posts on tumblr, I found myself shaking my head a lot. We all dance for different reasons, I understand and accept that but there is something I strongly disagree with. I strongly feel that women while breakin’ should wear clothes that they can dance in, I’m not saying you have to wear baggy clothes and cover up from head to toe but just saying to wear something that won’t expose certain parts of yourself. At jams and online I’ve seen women wear very little or low cut articles of clothing that are obviously not the best choice for this type of dance style. You can still look good, you can still be feminine, and you can still look like a woman. Being a bgirl you get noticed easier in a crowd, since it’s male dominated, but are you being noticed for the right reasons?

If you don’t care about how you are portraying yourself in this scene that’s cool, but please keep in mind the other woman who are putting in the work. You may not realize this but you do have an impact on them and how some males look at and treat other bgirls.  You are representing bgirls as a whole whether you mean to or not.

I agree, but the irony of this post is that it’s probably going to go over most people’s heads. The sad truth is that most of them would rather like/reblog a photo of a “bboy” kissing a girl while she’s awkwardly lying flat on her back or a photo of “bgirl” hitting a freeze in booty shorts lol.

I know I’m going a bit off on a tangent, but the problem isn’t caused by a few girls in the “bgirl” tag. The real problem is that bboying in general is largely misrepresented especially on the Internet.

The least substantial content is the most popular. Bgirls who intentionally post revealing photos of themselves is a manifestation of this.
