There is no Mary Sue aspect to consider.
NO! That isn’t better at all. There is no need to make young boys think it is ok to stare at breasts by talking about them sexually in a book.
No because the biological purpose of growing breasts is to breastfeed.
. Breasts develop as we become sexually mature
This whole statement is wrong. I shouldn’t even be taking it out of the greys but...
I think it’s more like, “Men’s testicles descend to make men look more grown up and attractive”
What is defensive about stating facts about breasts?
“My boobs didn’t grow because men find them attractive”
Would it be better to say “And are a secondary sexual characteristic that men find attractive? Being cold and clinical about puberty like its the 1950s doesnt seem like the way of the future.
No, I think being cold and clinical is accurate and your statement ignores men who aren’t attracted to breasts. This book puts the two “reasons” (feeding children and male attraction) on equal footing which they absolutely are not.

I think you’re (intentionally) misunderstanding what this article is actually saying.
According to the Wikipedia entry on Right Wing terrorism, a June 2017 report from the Government Accountability office states that 73% of fatal violent incidents in the US caused by extremism are caused by right-wing extremists.
I’m old enough to remember when Nazis were automatically considered to be the bad guys in every situation, no benefit of the doubt given.
Guys, we gotta be careful not to hurt the feelings of the white posters here. Be careful about using strong language. /s
