Burkas. We should all wear burkas.

O wait. No we shouldn’t. Because then Malkin will say we’re rooting for the terrists.

Man, it’s hard to remember all this.

My sister went through that in high school and junior high, but I didn’t develop until my twenties (in fact, they didn’t get even remotely big until after I had my first child, this happened when I was breastfeeding the second). So I remembered her complaining about it then and that I sympathized, but I really had no fucking clue until that principal called me into her office.

And that was one of the most surreal, infuriating moments in my entire life. Because, as I remember it, she started the conversation by saying that she wished she could fill out a sweater like I could, and then started on about how inappropriate it was for me to wear professional looking and yet still warm and somewhat stylish clothing to work because of the giant boobies. Because those poor, overprivileged 17 year old boys (I was doing a long term position in the “good” public school attended by all the rich kids at the time) shouldn’t be expected to deal with the fact that sometimes women have boobs.

KS-

I actually had the same problem at school- I developed early, and would be sent back home for wearing inappropriate clothes when I was in SWEATERS for crying out loud.

The situation isn’t helped by the fact that we happen to be in the middle of the cleavage equivalent of the miniskirt era: most women are showing at least a little, and quite a few are showing a lot, and those who don’t at all are being looked at kinda funny.

Thank you for that. I hadn’t heard about this until now, but seriously. Those people are just being assholes.

So what, the woman has breasts. Most of us above the age of 13 or so have them and most everybody else has seen them attached to somebody before, so I really fail to see what the issue is here. And it is ridiculous that the mere fact of having breasts and being in a picture can cause this sort of reaction.

I used to be a sub in high schools and I once got called to see the principal in a school I was working at because mine were too big. They’re big anyway, but at the time I had a 6 month old and was breastfeeding and they were huge. I was wearing a turtleneck sweater because it was winter and I live in the midwest and it was cold (so not even showing cleavage) and I guess it was inappropriate to be a teacher and also have a chest, because she thought it was distracting for the teenage boys. Who are hormonal and would be distracted by just about anything. But it was my swollen, leaky, full of milk breasts that were the problem. When I asked her what, exactly, I was supposed to do with them for the 7 hours a day I was at work, should I maybe take them off and leave them home or something, she didn’t have an answer for me. Just that I was inappropriate and needed to be more careful in the future.

So yeah, I get that she’ll get this reaction for posting a picture on the internet wherein she is a woman who has breasts and isn’t ashamed of them, because people are assholes. But those people need to grow the fuck up and get over the fact that half the population has them. It isn’t up to her to police her body, and nobody should be harassed because they posted a cheesy picture.
