With great cleavage comes great responsibility:"The lesson, ladies, is that great cleavage comes with great responsibility. People who shame women for wearing “too-revealing” clothes like to center their objections on women’s clothing “choices,” but make no mistake—this is not about what we choose. This is about the things we don’t choose—having chests or butts or legs or necks or hair or any other part of our human bodies that others decide to project their particular sexual interests—and their slut-shaming—upon."

Man, do I feel the hell out of this. I've got big boobs, there's no restraining them completely. They bounce, they nip, they spill. They draw attention. They create cleavage. This attitude of nothing I wear being "appropriate" enough, it created a lot of problems for me at my old job. I was stalked by a student, and scolded by my boss because my inappropriate dress was apparently too much temptation for him-- did I mention that he was a blind guy? So yeah. I almost had surgery because of this stupid attitude that cleavage is something I expose for attention instead of by accident of size.

Excellent article. I had a boss yell at me for wearing tight shirts and order me to wear a size larger. I told him I wouldn't do that, and if he insisted again he'd be facing harassment charges. The skinny girl that worked with me? She could wear booty shorts and spaghetti strap tank tops because she looked 12. I wasn't allowed because it didn't look "appropriate".

Men seem to have this notion that women are the only ones who can prevent MEN from behaving badly, apparently "self control" isn't in the male dictionary. Most women just tend to be catty about it.

I enjoy my large boobs! When I have to get them reduced due to health reasons, I'm probably gonna cry!
