Great rant!

Greetings from another modestly endowed woman -- how dare we offend men by not being bustier, right! Shakira has that line "lucky that my breasts are small and humble so you don't confuse them with mountains" -- I loved that. And then when I saw her on a magazine cover, they had photoshopped it to make her HUGE on top. Great work, guys :(
Everything you wrote reminds me of people who wish they had lived in another era. "I want to go back and live in the middle ages in a castle!" What they mean is to live at court and have all the luxuries and guaranteed food. NOT to go back and be a starving peasant left to die from plague. Or many years ago when everyone was "channeling" past lives, and they were all famous people. Nobody was ever the average poor unfortunate soul just trying to stay alive. Most men don't like real women. They like the cartoon version. Look at those Alberto Vargas paintings. Actual women posed for those, but the paintings are like overly photoshopped unrealistic interpretations. He could have just taken photos of the woman in front of him. No. He used a real woman as a starting point and then "enhanced" her. Photoshop is no different. Then when AGP types want to "be" women, they want to be the Vargas painting, not the model for the Vargas painting. I had a TiM at my school who had massive breast implants, and he would wear bandage dresses (his walk was so awkward in heels! Everything about his body movement was awkward) and his massive implants were bulging out. Yes, there are women who dress like that too, but I felt so smacked in the face by this guy. If he had been born female, given that he was tall and lanky, the odds of him having had massive mammaries would have been slim. He didn't want to be female. He wanted to be a parody of the male fantasy version. One of my best friends has very large breasts naturally, and she's considered a reduction many times over the problems they have caused her. Men would never consider that!
