Yeah, large breasts can also be painful for women with smaller frames. Psychologically and socially as well for others. So Kate, Christina, Dolly, JLH and others - a note of thanks and appreciation for _shouldering_ the burden. ---

I’d like too feel (for) her too. 😉 She wouldn’t have a modeling career without the huge ta-tas. She’s ok in the face, but there’s thousands of would be models much more attractive. Kate’s large paychecks are from her natural assets. ---

I wish for smaller boobs every day of my life so I can certainly understand her point of view. I’d like to be comfortable in a scrub top, to say nothing of spaghetti straps. ---

He wasn’t talking about her sunny disposition or beautiful singing voice. I wouldn’t want an adult friend of mine talking about my daughter’s tits either.

I guess we’re talking about a 15 or 16 year old girl? I can recall older relatives joking around with my cousins. Telling them they were attractive. It was all harmless compliments. A teenager can feel insecure about the changes in their appearance as they grow up. A few compliments to a teen boy or girl can help boost their esteem. I know today you got to be careful. Maybe tell them they have a nice smile or comment on a good grade they made on a test. Keep it as neutral as possible. ---

I’m not going to disparage her for wishing for smaller boobs (there are completely valid reasons to not want huge knockers), but if she really wanted them, she could have them - breast reduction surgery is quite common. On the other hand, it would be nice to have the perfect body, just the way you want it, without having to risk your life undergoing general anesthetic - welcome to a whole lot of other people’s lives, Kate. As an aside, I don’t quite understand so many women getting huge breasts through surgery - it would be so much easier in life to have smaller boobs and just put on a padded bra when you want to rock some cleavage. ---

> [@aceplace57](#): > > Comparing a girl to Dolly Parton used to be considered a compliment. Now its sexual harassment. Welcome to the new politically correct world. I was twelve. It was not a compliment. It was embarrassing as hell and I hate my dad for not telling his friend to cut it out. Said friend of my dad’s did not stop with the nickname until my boyfriend (and later husband) told the fucking buffoon to cut it out. You have no idea what the hell it is like to be the constant target of sexual harassment everywhere you go. You have no idea what it’s like to be thirteen and wear oversized sweaters because you are so ashamed of the looks you get from grown men when you don’t. You don’t know what it’s like to have boys walk over to you and moo and then go cackling away to their friends with stupid fucking grins on their smug little faces. You don’t know what’s it’s like to sit on a New York subway train and have men grab your breasts and then pretend it was all an accident. You don’t know what is like to try and find clothing that never fits up top and leaves you feeling like a nun or a prostitute – and you’re all of fifteen. Screw the world you want back. That world sucks. My eldest daughter is showing signs of being every bit as developed as I was. I hope your world is dead and buried. I will throw something at any man who dares make my sweet innocent little girl feel as badly about her body as I did. ---

I hate my large breasts, even when they stood up straight. They caused grown men to act pretty stupidly around me when I was 14 too. Having a 30 year old guy tell me I was cold because I wouldn’t have sex with him when I was that young was very confusing for my young mind. ---

Grown men not being allowed to sexually harassing young girls is not about our world gone crazy for PCness. Women always being aware of every man they see staring at their boobs is not about PCness out of control. ---

Hear fucking HEAR, **LavenderBlue**! I relate to 99% of your post. I like my boobs NOW, but they were a fucking nightmare growing up. > [@aceplace57](#): > > Comparing a girl to Dolly Parton used to be considered a compliment. Now its sexual harassment. Welcome to the new politically correct world. Oh, I don’t doubt that GUYS considered it a compliment. Most of the women (and GIRLS, to remind everyone that this shit happens to teenagers, too) may very well have thought otherwise. But y’know, you learn not to say anything or show discomfort or annoyance after the first few butthurt asswipes tell you to lighten UP, it’s a compliment! (or that ‘it’s just a joke!’) or really turn on the charm and call you a fat/ugly bitch and tell you to go fuck yourself. And no, I’m not exaggerating. ---

> [@aceplace57](#): > > Comparing a girl to Dolly Parton used to be considered a compliment. Now its sexual harassment. Welcome to the new politically correct world. Dude, don’t be coy. Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s, anytime Dolly’s name was mentioned, it was usually a boob reference. I don’t see how you can NOT possibly know this. ---
