I'm an ultra True Feminist - heart & soul - which requires a bit of clarification. (this shall be one of my many diatribes I cannot seem to stop myself from writing & posting... what can I say? I'm self-aware, if nothing else... lol)
I'm not hip to "hating on anyone". I think the concept of feminism is only necessary due to the history of how women have been treated & viewed throughout the ages. AND, the lack of value & recognition that continues to be given to the "traditional" roles that women have played throughout the ages as wife, mother, & maker & keeper of the home... not only by men but by other women too. In devaluing this vital role within the home, many women felt forced to go out & compete, if you will, in the "man's world" (again, if you will), to prove their worth & the traditional feminist movement began promoting the concept that we could have our cake & eat it too! "Home, husband, children, career, happy family!"
LIES ---> No one can have it all - not in that sense - something has to give & by promoting this false 'truth' I believe the 'movement' further undermined the woman's sense of inherent worth & value!
ANYHOW: Imagine - Afrikans stolen from their land & brought here to this land, enslaved, & considered chattel property... Imagine the reality that, legally/technically speaking, they acquired their right to vote before women in general did! What does that say of how lowly women have been viewed throughout time?
(let's not get off into discussions of slavery or whatever - I was merely trying to put parameters on my personal definition of feminism, why I find it necessary in the first place, & how it relates to this post. I do NOT condone slavery, a hierarchy of human "value", or ill treatment of any human being - ever.)
Most women in US culture are filled, at one level or another, w/ a degree of self-loathing. We, as women, often feed that loathing by being the first to denigrate & generally bash other women - like the crabs in a barrel syndrome, of sorts.
Good god how women can royally dog out other women in ways that make me shutter!
I embrace what I was naturally endowed with - physically & otherwise. (No, I'm not talking about rejecting education or self-improvement.)
I also embrace every other woman's right to choose her own path - preferably a well-informed one. Admittedly I am not a fan of breast "enhancements" & that sort of thing. Yet I truly am bothered by reading another woman speak of large breasted women - in such a generalized fashion especially - as trashy, etc.
Let's face it - when a woman gets augmentation done that requires a frontloader to carry them around all day - there's something "off" upstairs for her - she truly doesn't need any more ridicule nor encouragement from anyone else. Is that particular degree of alteration rather "unflattering" even for most men? I would kinda think so. Whether an individual, male or female, appears to be "trashy, classless, or whatever" (first, is a matter of opinion), depends not solely on something as simple as breast size but how one carries one's self, the quality of lift one has in one's bra when breasts are particularly large, what sort of clothing is worn, how it is worn, how one walks, talks, & that person's general mannerisms & "energy".
Everyone has the capacity to accentuate the positive & minimize/eliminate the negative - if one happens to be excessive on one area - then one needs to learn to minimize/eliminate as much of the negative backlash from that excess. The same goes for a person who is dealt a sub-par set of circumstances in one particular area or another - many many years ago I went into my first major professional job interview straight out of welfare KNOWING I was leaving with a job w/ a salary no less than $33,000 a year. I had nothing on paper that qualified me for that job at that level. But, I was a master at accentuating what I did have & I walked out of that building no longer a welfare statistic! Every time that man tried to accentuate what I didn't have, I pointed out to him what I DID have.
I digress...
These false images of beauty we have in this country are ridiculous. Women comparing themselves to airbrushed & enhanced photos of "fake" women - "fake" because the photo they are looking at no longer actually represents the real person originally photographed.
Women are even resorting now to genital alterations to have their clito*is', labia, etc look more "appealing"?!??!
I've read some of this stuff & it brings me to tears that we continue to raise generation after generation of women who place their worth in their outer appearance & that somehow a "false me" is more appealing than the "me I truly am".
Combine that with continued generations of boys being raised to become men who also perpetuate this unrealistic & unnatural view of women is sad to me.
(sad from multiple directions, as a woman, as a mother, & as a mother of an adult son who's raising a child who'll one day himself be a man)
I am far from perfect. But I am perfectly, uniquely, exquisitely ME. There's not a single other person on earth as finely formed in quite the same way as I am. I am more than pleased with that reality.
I don't wear a bra so I have no concept of what size I am. But likely a small B - don't care regardless.
I carry myself in a way that never ceases to attract men to me. I am, in all practicality, an "average" looking woman at best. But there's a lot to be said about a woman knowing her worth.
I am uniquely & phenomenally ME & I carry myself that way... Not pridefully so, but in full bloom...

... knowing precisely my value & being unaltered by anyone else's perceptions of beauty. If a man isn't attracted to me - sobeit. It doesn't phase me or shake my foundation or sense of self one iota. There are many someone's for everyone. I bless him & wish for him to continue on to whomever it is who he does find attraction & connection to/with...
I only require one. One man. My King... He's out there somewhere & all this small breast / large breast nonsense is irrelevant at the end of the day - but a nice distraction from my stressful life demands right now - so, again, thank you!!!
