Why Breast Size Has Little To Nothing To Do With Femininity

This isn't an article designed to put down anyone's breast size. This isn't a "perks of small boobs vs big boobs" debate. This is not an over-sexualized rendition of what I believe the "ideal" rack should look like. This is an appreciation post for big, little, female, male, trans, fake, natural, and mastectomized breasts.

This is a commentary on why breast size shouldn't matter because we have very little choice (unless you opt for augmentation) in what our boobs look like. This is, hopefully, the catalyst of original conversations.

Big boobs are wonderful. Small tits are beautiful. Female bazongaz are fun. Boy boobies are cute. Trans boobs are lit. Augmented breasts are artful. Natural racks are amazing. Boobs with stretch marks are cool. Breasts that have undergone mastectomies are badass.

Regardless of your gender, you've got a little bit of bilateral fat on your chest (yes, even "ripped" men have some subcutaneous fat, even if it's obscured by muscle.) Congratulations, we all have titties and it's awesome. Let's explore this topic with more scrutiny.

Personally, I'm a 34 B, which means that I can pretend to have boobs when I wear a push up bra; alternatively, I can go braless whenever I want. This is nothing profound or unique, but girls with my slightly petite frame are fetishized nonetheless, just like girls with massive melons and just like chubby boys with palpable breasts.

Breasts should never define a person: names like "bimbo", "twink", "femme", "cub", "pancake-chest", and more literally categorize humans into archetypes based on the concentration of fat on their bodies, particularly their chests.

For a culture so addicted to chest wall anatomy, we put down people for having "imperfect" breasts. Men with boobs are too feminine and inherently undesirable. Ladies with large breasts are doomed to sag, as if the effect of gravity is something to be ashamed about.

Women with small breasts might have perky features, but they resemble pre-pubescent children. (Fun fact, people with smaller breasts are more sensitive to foreplay.)

We don't have to shame men for having obvious boobs and we don't have to debate which cup size looks best on women. The bottom line is that all breasts are worth loving and we don't have to hate on them because literally all of us have enjoyed a pair of boobs at least once.

Side note, do a self breast exam while we're on the subject of titties.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
