Time's Tit Tuesday

Must have been a slow week to engender this article.
TIME.com: If Your Bra Doesn't Fit, Go Shopping -- Page 1: "Twenty years after the WonderBra caused small-breasted women to stampede, the boob pendulum is apparently swinging back. The average size of the American breast has grown from 34B to 36C , according to manufacturers. Anecdotally, the growth might be even more breathtaking: Those style-section stories are full of women who can't face the fact that they are, they really and truly are, a D. 'Some women have gotten angry when I tell them they're a D-cup. They think that's huge,' said a bra fitter in one of those upteenth style stories.

Women's unwillingness to take their bosom by the reins could stem from an unwillingness to celebrate one's sexuality, at least as it is defined by the D cup stereotype — does anyone over 30 want to be the Hooters girl, as it were? It could be that we're slightly afraid of our boobs— after all, over time they do seem to develop a mind of their own — or it could be we don't like what larger-than-average (though not that much larger than average) breasts invite: attention, whistles, shade."
And I'm so bored I'm playing into the program. We all know my views on the subject. Smaller is better and I have the scars (minimal) to prove it.
