Interested in Everything

It is disgusting. We are told to love sex but never masturbate or fool around. To love our bodies but we have to be hairless, thin, have boobs, and to never wear make up to cover our flaws. We can like sports and watch them but we can’t play them unless they are toned down and pretty enough to be oggled at. We can be nerds but we can’t be TOO smart or we forget our place. We are told we need a prince charming and to seek him out by constantly changing ourselves and being perfect for him. We are given the message that outside beauty is what matters the most but if we have it and get successful it was because we have a pretty face. We are told we exaggerate and should just go with it when we complain of being objects and property. We are taught that being a woman is worthy of an insult… WE have to fear walking at night. WE have to go in a group if we need to use the bathroom in a strange place. WE have to be cautious of where we are and who we are with. That we are told to hush and get over it if we are assaulted because real life isn’t like the crime shows and it is harder to convict the assaulter. That female artists are degraded and yelled at in artist alleys. That you are judged just by how you wear a t-shirt.

caffeinatedfeminist: Have you seen pictures of non-pornographic breasts? A huge proportion of American women and men are not happy with their breasts. The media images make them believe the ideal is big and perky breasts with an adolescent-type small nipple and areola. But, in reality breasts come in all kinds of sizes and shapes. These breast pictures are here to let you see normal breasts - big, small, sagging, asymmetrical; big areolas or nipples. In fact, having asymmetrical breasts, where one is bigger than the other, is very very common. Most individuals with breasts have one slightly larger than the other. Also as we all know, size varies a lot.  Some people have practically a flat chest, some have so much bust that the mere weight of them can cause them backaches. According to statistics published in the Journal for Sex Research (vol. 24, pp. 177-183), almost 60% of those with breasts have the bra cup size of A or B (A-cup 15%, B-44%, C-28%, D-10%).  Of course, the size is not constant but can vary with pregnancy, breastfeeding, and during the menstrual cycle. Many young people growing up never see what normal natural breasts look like, and influenced by the media, think that pert big breasts are ideal and so many people opt for breast implants to ‘correct’ their breasts. Most teenagers with breasts worry and fret over their breast development, some even to the point of suicide - which is a very sad comment on how American culture is influencing young people.
