Samford University officials allegedly told an all-female group partaking in a dancing competition to “bind their breasts,” according to the activist group SAFE Samford. The girls were allegedly told to use Ace bandages or wear multiple bars so “nothing moves” while they competed, according to Brit Blalock, founder of the Students, Alumni, and Faculty for Equality Samford group. “Two performance groups of all women were told their breasts were moving too much, told to wrap them in Ace bandages or wear double or triple bras,” Blalock said. ”University officials told them to bind their breasts. That’s sexual harassment.”
Samford University is telling female students to bind their breasts, so "nothing moves" while they compete in a singing and dancing competition! This is sexual harassment. Please help me spread the word, so we can stop this misogynistic gender policing. #BindSamford @SamfordU
