I appreciate the many thoughts chiming in, even the ones that border on harsh and presume me to be a drooling, groveling, ignorant sexist pig.
So just to play devil's advocate some more: Could you honestly say that Anya's life would have been better off if she were flat-chested and remained penniless in the Ukraine instead of having the life that her chest has brought her?
This is a topic that requires a busty woman's view, which you are not. Instead you're go out of your way to dismiss the opinion of actual busty women to give credence to your IMO warped views on how big breasts effects busty woman.
You neglect people who don't find bust size of our size preference attractive despite the fact that those people do exist and as many busty women will tell you, they don't shy from spewing their vitriol. You compare being busty to an athletic build, which is an apple to oranges comparison considering athletic people generally don't have to worry about clothing, or there muscle popping out of the clothes, like a busty woman has to worry her bra snapping or breast popping loose. You compare being busty to have a pretty face, again neglecting the fact that people face aren't considered a sexualized feature, therefore they don't have to deal with the lewdness that comes with being busty, in fact most
women people actually like eye-contact because it means that you're paying attention person and not objectifying them, like staring at their breasts.
You twist Nora Ephron's passage about her issues with being flat-chested as some compliment to busty women despite the fact there no words of compliment about being busty and her critique is very much a condemnation about the ridiculous standards society hold for women and the pressure it puts on women like her. I'm not sure whether whether you've read most of Nora Ephron works and interviews but she sound like she would be very against people with your mindset
Now on to Merilyn Sakova, why you compare a extraordinary tale to most busty women is beyond me, and why you'd think most busty women or women in general consider the sex industry as "making" or "a wonderful life" is way beyond me. The way you describe Merilyn Sakova situation, makes it seem her breasts serve as nothing more than a meal ticket. What's even worse is that you talk about her breasts as if the wasn't through her own talant, decision, choices, contacts, hardwork, slim build, curvy body, beautiful face and a whole host of decisions and features that factored in her success.
It's not as easy as "what if you took out the breasts"- you'd just has a different person.
Speaking of taking out the breasts, as said by
kithara it is not min and max. Big breasted women dissatisfied with the bra-size often claim their breasts are "too big", flat-chested women dissatisfied with their bra size complain about not having breasts.
Neither side is looks for the complete opposite but rather middle ground ie an average size bust. Look I no it's not your intention to come off as being sexist or Misogynistic but all of your post are unfortunately paint that picture. I think you really need to consider the opinions of all busty and not just one's working in the sex industry
Getting back to the main question there are disadvantages but more advantages for busty women. If your talking attracting more partners yes but if your talking all the negative issues such has not finding the right bras,being staired at, back problems,driving problems etc etc I agree. If having big breasts were such a hinderance then why do so many women want them?
Because we live in a still male- dominated society where women are judge more heavy on the looks than males. They want because society has ingrained in them the belief that if you're what mainstream society thinks is attractive (slim busty) you'll get ahead in life, maybe find a nice boyfriend, and live happily ever after . It's all about the hustle.
