I really fucking hope she did exactly that.
A fellow large-breasted girl in my senior class dared to wear a scoop neck t-shirt under a cardigan in her senior yearbook photo. The principal was so offended by her slightly visible cleavage that she filled it in with a magic marker and that’s the version that went to press. That poor girl had to have her personal…
YAS QUEEN.
It’s almost like the system is rigged so we never get to win!
That is exactly as I pictured it, possibly because that's exactly how I would have handled it.
THIS. Some other commenters seem to feel this article is a humblebrag, or the “jealousy” comments are unfair, but I feel her story so hard. This and many, many other similar situations have happened to me. I have DDDs and I love them—not complaining here. Had to start wearing a bra in 4th grade, which sucked, but I…
Same. All of it. A lot of the people who ridicule will also try to touch them, which is how I ended up punching a guy in the face in the 8th grade.
how “bloom” reads to me:
This exact scenario has happened to me my whole life. I have a very distinct memory of wearing a tank top in high school gym and being told never to wear it again. I pointed out a girl in the class wearing the same exact shirt, and was told “it’s different on her”.
I noticed that, too. This is obviously a stupid situation, and her attire is obviously perfectly fine. Having said that, the “you’re just jealous” and “jealous old cows” comments are historically used to shut down legitimate statements about women from other women. As in, your opinions and criticisms of another person…
That response doesn’t even make sense.
Ok, I’m fully on board (esp bc this is my struggle!) but...
My freshman year of college (at a very small, very conservative Christian school), a floor-mate slammed into my room one Sunday morning to look in my mirror, as if it would show her something different than hers would. Exasperated, she pulled at her turtleneck and said, “I can’t take my boobs to church!” (Imagine…
As a large busted lady, I can tell you from experience: big titties look like big titties, no matter what you cover them up with.
Yeah, but they’re sized just right so she isn’t a busty slutbag I guess.
I have just finally gotten to the point in life where I am comfortable wearing tops that aren’t super loose or conservative because of all of the shit I got in middle school and high school for having large breasts in proportion to my frame. Fuck those supervisors for pulling that bullshit. It is that type of behavior…
God, tell me about it! I remember trying on bridesmaids dresses for a family wedding as a barely 20 year old and feeling SO inappropriate because of my breast size...I remember the comments from my own family about it...
The best part is that this was the gym’s Facebook cover pic in April:
Interesting and disheartening that so many of the FB comments are “Those hags are just jealous.” Because even when we’re lifting each other up, we have to be sure we’re knocking some other bitch down, amiright?
