I've never met a woman who doesn't get offended by sexual slurs.
While the women I know want to feel pretty and be perceived as
attractive, they do not want to be objectified. The majority of women I know
are offended when some random person yells out "Nice rack!" or "Hey hottie!"
I've heard countless females mutter words of disgust when this happens. They
simply don't appreciate such comments from strangers. These women are tired
of being judged by their looks. In short, the women I know are tired of
being objectified and identified by their breasts.
I find some of these women to be hypocrites. They scream, cry, and stomp
their feet when someone spews sexual comments. These women declare "I am not
just a set of breasts! I have feelings and a brain! I am a person. How dare
you judge me based on my breasts!" Now, turn these women on their female
counterparts. Women have developed this nasty habit of belittling and
chastising their female companions because they have smaller breasts. I'm
not just talking about a D-cup lady picking on an A-cup lady, but even a
C-cup harassing a B-cup; even women of the same breast size pick on each
other. The slightest difference in size can lead the larger breasted woman
to harass her friend, sister, or coworker. Women use their breasts as a tool
against smaller breasted women in order to feel better about themselves -
more attractive, more womanly. Almost every woman will be chastised at some
point in her life by a larger breasted woman. As a result, women are further
propelling the objectification of their own sex.
So, ladies, next time some man comments on your dirty pillows and you feel
disgusted and frustrated, imagine you are that female you degrade because
she has smaller breasts. Imagine how scuzzy you perceive that man to be who
cat-calls, and accept that when you down your B-cup friend, you are that
scuzzy to her. If women hope to lose this type of judgement, they must stop
fueling the fire that suggests breast size equals desirability and
femininity. When you think of it in this light, it's easy to feel ashamed
and disgusted knowing that you, too, may have slammed sexual slurs and
judgements against your own sex.

Yes, mumsey is very smart indeed, as many mumsey's are. Valerie, once again, you have made me proud by writing about a subject that most people would feel uncomfortable talking aobut! After all, that is what Venting is all about!

You touched on the "Cinderella" syndrome where some females are unable to be supportive of a possible "competitor" and delude themselves into thinking they are therefore members of the stronger (male) team. That's chick to chick -- I don't know what to tell Nick other than to ignore "friends" who criticize appearance rather than behavior.

A lot of my friends make fun of me for my somewhat mooshy man-boobs. I have been trying to work out, but I just feel like I have to wear really loose clothes all the time!!
