]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @bigtittycommitee: I buy my big-boobie bras from Aubade and Chantelle. They cost a hundred million dollars but I don't care because they are well-designed, comfy, stylish, and they make my 32DD/E rack look AWESOME. I even just bought an Aubade bra that has three columns of hooks in the back, which I always swore I would never own because they invoke to me the height of grandmotherliness in bras -- but this bra is so cute and dainty-looking that it doesn't matter!

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @leMaldeTete: I do agree that it perpetuates a standard of superficiality. However, a lot of things in our culture perpetuate this standard, from simple things like makeup, botox, and push-up bras to face lifts, lipo, and boob jobs.

Obviously the first three things are not invasive and one can argue they are a matter of keeping up appearances and making one feel confident. But, if we are going to emphasize the importance of physical appearance in this culture, then the latter, more drastic procedures are only a natural progression.

I don't see it getting any better until we, both men and women, stop obsessing about our bodies and beauty. This even includes simple crap like bitching about our boobs and spouting the whole which is sexier (big v. small). This superficiality spreads like wildfire and I just don't care who thinks what boob size or body shape is sexy. It's subjective but we all contribute to the setting of these standards with even the most miniscule judgments and statements. This isn't art we are commenting on; these are human bodies complete with psychological weaknesses that can make people vulnerable or superficial. It's judgmental and/or self-obsessed personalities that aren't sexy, ever.

Boob jobs are just a symptom of the problem so I'm not going to criticize the insecure or superficial woman who opts for the procedure. Instead, I'll judge the culture (which makes us all accountable) and the doctors and companies who push this stuff. It's easy to take it out on some celebrity who knows her boobs will garner her extra attention, but much more difficult to attack the system and our own judgments and accept that we all perpetuate this crap.

It's hard to have big boobs, girls! They make all of the pretty stuff for the B cups and all of the ugly stuff for the DDs+. Like having 30As, having 32DDs means that most designers/manufacturers won't touch you. I'm dreading the whole pregnancy boobage whenever that may happen. Ugh.

rednrowdy

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @shuffler: I agree that bitching about others' appearances is often a symptom of insecurity.

How "personal" can a choice like this be though? Would anyone be craving what can only be described as aggressive, elective surgery if they didn't perceive that it would please others? While it doesn't directly harm anyone else, it's perpetuating a standard that places superficiality on a pedestal far higher than actual fulfillment.

As far as "things aren't going to change":
1) Sexuality / sexiness is subjective
2) It's up to the individual to transcend self-absorption; competitiveness is fine and healthy
3) (most) Men like boobs. Big ones, small ones, whatever, seriously. If my dude wants to look at something I don't have, that's fine! Visual stimulation can be separate from tactile stimulation, and certainly from intimacy.

I'm at peace with "pressuring" women NOT to have cosmetic surgery. I used to work as a surgical assistant for plastic doctors. Watching women wheeled out of the OR in agony for the sake of putting synthetic materials into their bodies was depressing. To me, honking huge plastic knockers look like an artifact of unhappiness and / or overblown ego. I don't feel the need to protect those things.

None of this is meant to be an attack at YOU. I sincerely appreciate your viewpoints, but women - not plastic sacks of goo (ruth_less, I love that) - deserve to be respected.

Wow, I have a lot to say about boobs.

Macloserboy

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @rednrowdy: Yes, you can remove all of someone's breast tissue, but if you are going for a regular breast reduction to decrease size, you're not going to walk out smaller than a B ever and still have functional (for breast feeding, that is) breasts.

I think when it comes to breast reductions it's definitely for quality of life reasons, meaning health, grooves in shoulders, serious neck and back problems, and skin problems under the breasts from friction. Cosmetic reasons are secondary for sure.

Catty Is Cumbersome

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @Macloserboy: you're right in theory, but considering that most jezebellers commenters (in that poll from late last year) would prefer to be called 'stupid' rather than 'fat', i think the weight argument wins - even though it shouldn't.

@shuffler: a girl who's got an F cup can't go back to an A for anatomical reasons, but theoretically, most women who go in for boob reduction surgery do it for cosmetic and quality-of-life reasons anyway. it's not like they physically can't go smaller than a b cup. ask anyone who has a mastectomy.

@TruculentandUnreliable: i don't think that all big chested women want everyone to have big boobs...quite the contrary, actually! but i'd be curious if for just one day..or maybe two days, all the women who have big boobs suddenly became small B cups (rather than a full b cup) and women with A's or smaller became double D's. it would be interesting to see how that would play out. i still maintain that if you were born with big boobs, you don't understand the fuss about them. if you weren't born with big boobs, you kind of do understand the fuss.

rednrowdy

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @JessaFields: It makes sense and I have made that argument before in other instances, but I am trying to be optimistic about our ability to make educated decisions and not follow the herd. Take for example, porn stars who engage in degrading porn. We aren't blaming them for men's misogynistic viewpoints but they participate in its representation. Same goes for boob jobs, I think.

I, personally, would never get plastic surgery because I don't think it would make a difference for me psychologically. However, apparently, it makes some people feel complete.

Gingerlime

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @shuffler: But by making the choice to get plastic surgery, aren't those women just making it harder for the rest of us? It makes plastic surgery seem normal. What about the rest of us that don't have it and don't naturally measure up? There's more pressure on us to cut ourselves open to measure up.

I don't know if this makes any sense. I do get what you're saying.

JessaFields

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @leMaldeTete: You're right. that makes just as much sense. But I think in a lot of instances, tearing someone down for making a personal choice serves only to lift some people up.

As women, we are given the ability to think logically, which means we can accept our bodies or bow down to societal pressure. Plastic surgery is a more severe form of materialism, thousand dollar handbags, gas guzzling suvs, etc. In this case, the consumers of plastic surgeries are not inflicting harm upon others. To say it's otherwise, and they they are destroying women's body images, is too simple. No one forces anyone to make that choice. Until breasts aren't considered sexual objects, human beings stop being competitive and self absorbed, and men stop buying magazine with boobs blown up on the covers, things aren't going to change and we shouldn't be bitching about the women who make these choices. It just places more pressure on women.

I am not referring to your comments when I say the above, however. Congrats on being comfortable with who you are! That's awesome and beautiful in and of itself.

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @shuffler: Definitely, live and let live and all. However, insecurity is NOT the reason I'm anti-cosmetic surgery. I spent years battling my body-image insecurities and I matured into my body and I love it now. Yeah, I look in the mirror sometimes and wish for real-time photoshopping magic, but I'm proud of overcoming the obsession with physical "perfection".

I wouldn't bother to voice this opinion if I didn't think it was dangerous to applaud or even condone cosmetic surgery. What message does that send to women of any age? That there is a "right" way to look? That confidence can be bought? That your body can be bought?? I say hell no, sorry.

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> You know I used to want bigger boobs, as I felt somehow cheated cause my sisters are both uber busty and I'm more of a B, but after seeing the hell of my mother's reconstruction jobs after cancer? Yeah, no thanks! Plus she insists on showing me each and every bruised and stitched and painful looking stage, like "hey, check out THIS weird lump that developed this weekend...gross, right?" Thanks mom! I'll stick with the smaller breasts - they at least can't sag much cause they can't get that far.
Also a lot of people don't know this but you usually have to get them fixed up or redone in a certain number of years. So if you're 25 you'll be getting maintenence work like, every 300,000 miles or so for the REST of your LIFE unless you get them removed.

And I like short guys! I'm short, and with tall guys its like climbing a tree. It's fun the first time but then you get splinters, and poison oak...


rokenrolzombie

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @rednrowdy: I don't think weight isn't a classic attribute of attractiveness. Weight values in women are different from culture to culture and changes in time periods, but every culture likes a big-breasted woman or a taller man. Also, surgery notwithstanding, either you're born tall or with boobs or you're not. And you either get your spurt in both during your high school or you don't. Men wear lift and women wear padded bras.

Sadly, I've done much thinking on this.

Macloserboy

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @rednrowdy: Great observation, but the reason they don't go much smaller than a C is because they can't. Most large breasted women have more glandular tissue than smaller breasted sisters; the doctor cannot remove all of it. It would be complete mutilation and would leave no possibility of breast feeding in the future.

Catty Is Cumbersome

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @Sugarless: I can't imagine going out without a bra, either. I'm a D, so I can get away with more stuff than my larger-chested companions can, but I still can't pull off stuff that a B or A cup could. Plus, finding sports bras that actually support is a pain in the ass.

jackimarie

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @rednrowdy: I don't know if that has so much to do with size preferences, or just with such a DRASTIC change in your body shape. I mean, thats a huge amount of boob to loose. Plus, I'm not going to pretend like society doesn't prefer larger breasts and that that doesn't come into play. It's just that I'm not sure that generalizing that women with big breasts seem to want everyone to have big breasts.

Also, I would say that there is something to be said about proportion. I am tall and curvy, and even though I love small boobs, I wouldn't want them on my frame. If I was thinner, I would, but as my body is, I wouldn't want to go below a B.

Catty Is Cumbersome

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> I'm in the F/G range, and haaaate it. No matter what I wear, I look dumpy or trampy, because I can't hide the damn things, and surgery freaks me out. Men stare all the damn time, say ridiculous things to my face, and assume I must be easy. One time a man screamed at me as I was walking down the street, in a loose tshirt, "Are they real?" over and over at the top of his lungs.

The aspect of implantation that bothers me is the notion that a woman is incomplete without large breasts. My issues are mine to deal with, but I resent the oversexualization of large boobs. Every size is hot (for reals, ladies!), and we shouldn't feel shame or embarassment because we all don't conform to one narrow view.

And I would totally get a reduction if I could deal with the thought of surgery. Just to sleep on my stomach. Oh, and not deal with teh mens.

@zivah: What?!? That's quite a generalization and unfounded at that. Seems more like you're projecting and I mean that sincerely.

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @BitchIsTheNewBlack: She said that she now feels complete, not that everyone with small breasts is incomplete. How can you take her comments about herself and somehow assume she is inferring that small breasted women are incomplete?

I'm not a fan of plastic surgery, but I don't think it's our place to judge her choice, including whether or not she "owns up" to her body modifications. Whatever I do to my body is no one's business but my own. If I (public figure or not) were to have a nose job, bikini wax, boob job, or botox, I would not feel it's my responsiblity to tell anyone, ever.

The plastic surgery criticisms seem to stem from personal insecurities, I think. If someone suddenly has awesome breasts, people step up and want confirmation that they aren't real. If someone has great breasts, and they are real, people doubt their authenticity regardless. Who cares? Is it somehow reassuring to know that these lumps on someone's chest that garner so much attention aren't real? I could care less.

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> Those looks like DDs, but I think that plastic surgeons lie about implant sizes and don't base them on actual bra sizing anyway.

That's why Pam Anderson can claim to be a D/DD, when she's more like an E, F, G.

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @Macloserboy: i wish more women would embrace the phyllis diller method - just admit you had the work done! it's not like we can't TELL. phyllis diller is still the bomb - and she looks good and age appropriate, even with all the work she's had done. compare her and joan rivers at the same age - phyllis still looks better.

and as for the height/breast size thing, i think it's more like a man's height issue is equal to a woman's weight issue. women are hung up on the number on the scale (and the number on the tags inside their clothes)like men are hung up by the ruler on the wall measuring their height.

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @Macloserboy: Yeah, welcome to my life. I'm a 30/32 A and most American bra companies assume I don't exist. It's depressing.

I also think it's depressing that breast augmentation is so common now. It's like having small breasts is a terrible flaw that needs to be fixed. Sure, I'd be happy if I were a little more well-proportioned, but I'm not slicing my body to make that happen.

LittleBlackFly

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @howdybeep: Seriously. You're not the only A-cup out there. Reminds when I was trying to buy a bra for my favorite pair of breasts in the world at the time (32A) to find out some designers just didn't make that size.

@thegreenman: In an article about men's height in GQ that I once read the author wrote "Height is to men what breast size is to women." Truer words have never been spoken, but though I would also like to be taller simply because I know women like it and let's face, men respect it, I wouldn't be who I am now and despite my self-loathing, I'm kinda good with this. Not to mention, show me a tall funny guy and I'll show you a Jon Stewart who'll make him look humorless. We compensate for our imagined flaws with achievements.

Add me to the "She's an idiot" group. And you don't see the real star of Destiny's Child doing this shit. Buy a clue next time.

Macloserboy

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @HarlemSnowflake: Me too. I am always trying to minimize my relatively small C cup boobs. My one good friend from LA is a master at creating cleavage. It works for her, but I prefer to not distract people with my tits.

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> After this last baby and when I tie my tubes (yay!) I thought about a tummy tuck and breast lift (yea I am a sell out) when the doc said in order for the breast lift to work I would have to put in implants I opted just to stay committed to good bras, I am not knocking anyone but for some reason the addition of bags in my tittays turns me off.

Muffyn

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @hatepaperdoll: In that top and in that position.

hatepaperdoll

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @Archetype: actually, they're heavier, so sometimes people get a lift to compensate for the extra weight, especially if they're not under the muscle (which is adviseable unless you like to have them move when you flex). After surgery the bra they give you is a huge spandex sports bra meant to help with the swelling.

hatepaperdoll

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @BLK GRL: this is true, it takes a couple months for the swelling to fully go down. It's really hard to fill implants to the exact requested size for that reason - one can't tell what's implant and what's swelling. You also get a band that pushes them down so they'll settle downwards and look slightly less fake.

I have filled a great many implants in my time. Do not miss.

hamburgerhotdog

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> @Hamsterpants: Yeah but if they're fake no bra is needed, right? Maybe working in retail subjected me to enough hard nips on big old fake boobs.

Hamsterpants

]]> <![CDATA[Breast Intentions]]> After any breast surgery you tend to be 'inflated' for awhile. Your breasts might not settle into their actual size for six months or longer in some cases. They might be a B in a year, but they are certainly C's now!
