Where Do We Go From Here?

Big B… Little B. What Begins with B?

Breasts.

Why is it that people are so turned off, so grossed out, so appalled at a woman who takes her breast out to nurse her baby in public?  Yet when I stand in the grocery store checkout aisle, folks, men and women, are unfazed, maybe even drawn to the weekly with the woman standing on a rocky cliff with two pale yellow acute triangles pasted on her nipples?

Oh wait.  I forgot.  How could I?  We live in the bizarre-o land of the freaks.  Um… I mean free.  Tell me, if we are so free, why do we act so stupid with a naked breast doing what it was made to do?  Feed hungry children.  Free your mind, good people.  You don’t have to always think of sex when you see boobs.

Ah… but you do, don’t you?

You can’t help it, can you?

Every movie, every billboard, every magazine, every cover of the best romance novels has to have a picture of the ample, smooth, firm mammalian parts to make men want to hunt and make women want to claw some young vixen’s eyes out.  It is recorded in our brains and why?  Ultimately, it makes money for someone.  Big, BIG money so the exposure to breasts gets bigger.

And what a vicious cycle it is.

He sees sexy girl on the cover of just about anything and his eyes aren’t on their lady friend.  She sees his eye roving all over the curves of another and decides “I need to make mine bigger and better.”  He then sees his lady friend but oh no!  So do 10 other men.  So now she ain’t thinking that she has to be stuck with the guy who didn’t notice her in the first place.  She can have her pickings.  That don’t go over well with dude, so he gets competitive, like me do and he enhances his appearance by buying a vehicle that is well beyond his budget.  Live within your means, good people.  Now some other ladies find him interesting and they go their separate ways.  Yes?  Sure.  Happy ending until….

They each find someone to love and settle down with.  Let’s not rush things and say they get married.  But we can say that they both have children with their new interests.  This is where it gets sticky.  There are so many roads to take with this.  Let’s go:

Dad the Dude has a daughter, says to her “you can’t go out like that!”  But she sees all of her other 13 year old friends dressing with plummeting necklines and thinks “I need a boob job.”

Mom the ex-Lady Friend has a daughter and says, “Sure, honey.  It worked for me.”  Ready to have surgery before her young pubescent body has yet begun to mature.  And now they are having bonding moments in the same waiting area of mom’s cosmetic surgeon.  Awwww.  That’s sweet.

OR

Dad has a son who points out every woman with size DD cup and gives him pound when his son brings home twins from the Galaxy-on-High.

Mom has a son who tries very hard to instill values to respect women for their mind and not their bodies but comes home to find pages upon pages, sites upon sites of the most sordid porn sites she’s never witnessed.  And she thought she had seen some things in her time.

Let’s not get started on the more warped sides like when girls tape themselves down because they get too much attention from being large.  Guys who constantly get the short end of the stick in relationships because he bought into the Front Flavor and now is a miserable drunk in his marriage.  Maybe not the best examples but we all know there are extreme situations where people get screwed up in the head because we’ve been taught somewhere down the line that bigger is better.

It happens all the time but why should it?  Is it because we’re all brainwashed into believing that women are beautiful based on breast size?  Women, are we brainwashed into thinking that we have to feel sexy based on how much cleavage we show?  I mean, seriously.  Why do we think over-sized breasts are so much more desirable than what size they were meant to be?

Why does it give women the feeling of power to seduce a man with her anatomy shoved in his face?

Why do men act so stupid when they see a pair of mammary glands jiggle as they pass by?

Now, hear me out.  I understand human nature to be attracted to such supple and soft organs.  Babies love to nuzzle up to their mamas’ bosom.  They bring comfort to the babies, sexual arousal for men and women alike and give women reason to love and feel comfortable in their bodies.  I’m not even oppose to women augmenting or decreasing their bust size in the name of confidence and comfort.

But HONESTLY!  Take a look around you.  When there is so much more beauty in the world, why do we waste so much of our money, time and energy on breasts?

Get a life.
