My mom interrupted my sleep to complain about me wearing no bras. Asked me to give her a full explanation about why it's considered to be associated with whorish behavior. She doesn't give a full answer, but insists that you're looked upon as a prostitute ("street walker") in her home country and the United States.

Why do older women still insist that people care about whether they wear a bra or not?

There's more concerning matters like weirdos who harass you (whether you're braless or not), unequal work pay, and being able to pay rent next month.

Culture context: I'm from the US where older women generally badger their female relatives to wear one at home and/or going out.

Update: Corrected spelling and grammar.
