“Her appearance is a major factor in why I’m with her, to be honest.”
“The real reason women get a reduction is for the sake of their own vanity.”
“I’m only 27 and the thought of having a woman with small breasts for the rest of my life is impossible”So you’ve been with a guy two years, mention you’re thinking of getting a breast reduction, get all that fanfare and suddenly realise that guy was only with you for your boobs. I have no words.
These poor women. :(
Men are trash.
DUMP HIM
DUMP HIM
DUMP HIM
this is so disgusting. yall males having trust issues bc ‘makeup’ we be having bonding and trust issues bc ur gonna leave us when we put our health first.
they dont love their girlfriends. when you love someone their health really matters to you more than their appearance
With attitudes of ownership towards female bodies like this, it’s no wonder society struggles with the concept of ‘my body, my choice’ with regard to abortions.
If a woman you supposedly love is being given pain and discomfort by a part of her body, and you can’t imagine why that is more important than your own appreciation of that part of her body – the least complex situation re. bodily autonomy I can think of –
How can we expect this kind of man to even begin to grapple with the nuanced and emotive issue of pregancy termination?
I think a lot of the problem pro-choice people have in the debate over abortion is the opposition often LITERALLY don’t understand what women mean when they say ‘my body, my choice’. OK the examples above are hopefully extreme examples, but I think indicative of the commodification of female bodies generally. If a man can think (about a women he loves with seeming sincerity) ‘my enjoyment of large breasts trumps her right to comfort’ how the hell is he going to get past ‘the right of an unborn fetus trumps her right not to be pregnant ifshe doesn’t want to be’.
Reminder that the TV show New Girl literally had this as a plot line, where a guy was upset that his ex-girlfriend (who broke up with him for cheating on her) wanted to get a breast reduction. It involved him “saying goodbye” to her breasts, giving her noise cancelling headphones as he did so, because it was not about her, and his goodbye was so touching, she decided not to get the operation even though in the beginning of the episode she said she was getting it done because she had back pain. That is how ingrained this belief is.
