I really am ashamed to be called a man sometimes.
Type "boobs" into your favourite search engine and you'll get hits like"

Not long after I started this blog, a male colleague of mine couldn't talk about it in any other terms than "your tit site."
Why do we have to invent and us such derogatory terms for something that is so beautiful, tender and thoroughly feminine?
Do the people who create these sites and use these terms ever stop to think that these breasts belong to real people? People with real emotions and feelings just like themselves?
In particular do the guys who keep talking about "fantastic big tits" ever stop to think about how they make small breasted women feel? (Of course, just like Alice's Restaurant "you can find anything you want on the internet - including sites dedicated to small breasts. But of course they still use demeaning terms.)
Fortunately, the internet is also a powerful tool for women to strike back. Here's an article written by, dedicated to and celebrating women with small breasts.
And, if you are a woman so blessed, here's a site dedicated to pretty, feminine bras in your size:http://ittybittybra.com/ The Itty Bitty Bra Store.
I don't like using offensive language in the title of my posts (or in the posts for that matter.)
But this is the title of a moving documentary photographic series by Gemma-Rose Turnbull.
It is an award winning documentary photographic series that closely examines the way women see the role and function of their breasts, and how they judge their aesthetic appearance compared to media stereo types.
Check it out.
