You know, we've been talking about breasts in here recently...between the thread about breast augmentation and the one about whether or not women should train chest (I mean, I know there's not supposed to be any such thing as a stupid question, but come on!), I've been thinking about breasts and how they're perceived in society and what they're really for...
Somebody (a so-called man) in the breast augmentation thread even called them "balloons" in one post. We let it slide, but, dang, don't you think that's kinda obnoxious? To come into the women's forum and refer to part of our anatomy in such a way? Hooters, knockers, tatas, titties...I bet between all of us we could think of at least fifty "terms of endearment" for our mammary glands, none of which really seem all that nice.
And Dayna, no offense, but between your avatar and your screen name, what am I supposed to think? That I'm supposed to envy you those? My best friend has some like that, and I'll tell you what, after a frustrating nursing experience (she had to bottle feed because they were so big that her baby couldn't latch on) and her current back problems, I'm afraid I don't envy you your extra-large set.
And Boscoe, forgive me, but in your thread, you accused another lady of not being a lady because "no girl talks like that." Well, I've been thinking about that, too. And you're right. No GIRL talks like that. But plenty of women do.
You know, real men and women know exactly what breasts are for. They're for feeding babies. They're why mammals are so damned successful. We make food for our young. It's really pretty amazing, almost miraculous.
They're also a heckuva lot of fun to play with, but that's secondary.
And on the subject of plastic surgery, I don't mean to not be "supportive" for those who make (or have made) that choice, but I think we need to be honest here. (Or at least I'm going to choose to be.) Plastic surgery is not a casual decision (and shouldn't be made over the course of a pregnancy, but over much more time, waiting to see what your breasts look like after a year or so post partum). It's serious, and can be dangerous (as any surgery can be). You know why they stopped using silicone? Because sometimes the silicone leaks, and some people have severe reactions to it. It can cause autoimmune disorders that can be debilitating and painful. It can mean the end of life in the gym, that's for sure. I'm not sure why they've started using it again...and I really don't understand why any woman would choose to have such a substance put into her body, just to fulfil a media-fed stereotype of the ideal female form. And to cut muscle for the same reason...well, frankly, I think that's nuts. Surgeons aren't gods...they make mistakes. To elect to have such a procedure...well. It's at best foolish...and maybe even crazy.
Well, sorry to squish anyone's toes, but as one of the elders here, I just had to say my piece. Good night, and god bless.
