What upsets me the most is the phrase "no boobs"

You: You think we lack perspective, right? You mention that word in that post you deleted. Well, small-busted women hear the lines "no boobs, no back pain," "you're actually lucky," "you don't have to worry about anything" all the damn time, and I personally never know what to say to that. I don't want to lie and pretend that it's all crop-tops and nipple pasties cause we have issues too. Sure, I like being able to run without a bra, but I don't always feel lucky, and we have other problems that women with big boobs don't even realize -- some are invisible/psychological which make them that much harder to describe.

Me: I was deleting(and will continue to) all of my posts because my intention was not to be confrontation or to offend anyone. When I posted about "perspective", I wrote from the aspect of being a lesbian(who like girls herself) as opposed from a heterosexual male perspective which has "the male gaze in mind."

Because let's face it, all beauty ideals are from that perspective and there is how all of the body shaming is dictated from. That was my point. I wasn't trying to invalidate anyone's experience or perspective.

And I was being facetious about our "struggles" because of what u/tiffylaffydaffytaffy said and I responded to it. As you said, most of the fonts in here won't and don't care about my "struggles." Understood.

All I was trying to say was, I don't think smaller breasts=lack feminity because that's stupid and therefore my intention is never to passively aggressively hate on or compete with other women especially since I don't want to be seen attractive to other men whether they view me that way or not.

I want women to be attracted to me period. My appreciation or admiration of my breast comments was secondary point. I wasn't offended by anything that was said in here. My initial post is that what u/random_guest did was well-played.
