Tv prog on ATM bout 3 women with big boobs

There are never progs bout men with oversized penises wanting them surgically reduced?

Big breasts are really painful. Though I think if men had boobs, bras would be better constructed!

Is this because all companies and clothes designers are men and there are no women capable of designing good bras??

Or is it because most women wear the wrong size and should make an effort to get fitted properly?

If clothes don't fit then the clothes should change. Do you realise how ridiculous it sounds to have potentially lethal surgery to fit into clothes?

I have 3 RL friends who had breast reductions

They feel more comfortable and clothes fit better

Two were on NHS, one private (because she could wait no longer)

Funnily enough, the private op is the one that had complications which had to be sorted out by the NHS but there ya go

The prog was actually quite good . Was bbc3 production from 2007. In the end none chose surgery. All were wearing wrong sized bras which was contributing to back pain. One lost weight. One did some lingerie modelling to boost confidence.

TBH, I do think small penises (as opp. to big ones) are one of the things men really do get nasty attitudes about and I assume men really do have surgery on them or there wouldn't be so many adverts for it?

I'd love to have a breast reduction. Not for fashion reasons, or even patriarchal ones - they're just bloody uncomfortable to carry around all day.

Are small breasts more socially acceptable?

Really, I think breast augmentation might be a more reasonable target for you.

Yes but having large breasts can be painful and hinder activity. I don't think having a large penis does.

Yes well that's my point. Men accept their bodies whilst women are expected to mould theirs into society's ideal

Is that something that happens?
