Breast Power

Calendar Girl Sue, comments on one of my entries here regarding breast power. She finds it

"interesting that so few women will admit to [breasts being a power source]."

This is interesting in itself. I can think of several memories of women exercising their 'breast power' only to be surprised and a little frightened by it.

More important though, is Sue's observation

This all makes me wonder what it is about power, of any kind, that is so difficult for human beings to manage in a kind and respectful way?

This could almost be a motto for Breast Stories. Power and the way we exercise it is really at the heart of the problem of how we respond to breasts. Women often exercise breast power without knowing it, or perhaps subconsciously and men often respond with the only form of power we know.

I really believe that by talking about it, we can learn to each use our power more equally and respectfully.
