Well, I just learned that it’s illegal to have small tits in Australia. The government is banning porn and nude photos depicting women with small breasts, on the basis that they believe it promotes pedophilia.

...

I’m trying to find the words to say here, but they’re just not coming to me. I’m too shocked and appalled. As if flat-chested women don’t face enough pressure by being constantly reminded through the media that only big boobs are sexy, it has now become illegal for a woman with small breasts to show them off. The Australian government is perpetuating horrible stereotypes not only by saying that small breasts are childlike and not womanly, but also by promoting the idea that women should be fake. In a sense, they’re saying that women are only truly women if they have large breasts. Any woman interested in adult entertainment--a benchmark for measuring sexiness, whether it’s right or not--will have to get fake boobs if she wants to pursue her career. In doing so, the standard set for women’s breast size will increase even more, and women with smaller breasts will be considered less and less attractive because of it.

To me, this is even more reason why I should go into nude modeling. As it is, I’ve been trying to get lingerie gigs, emphasizing my need to “represent,” but I might have to take it to the next step if this is what the world is coming to. As society is picking up on that idiotic catchphrase “real women have curves,” the barely curvy girls of the world are getting left behind and feeling unattractive.

It’s time for me to take a stand of my own and raise some small breast awareness. I’m thinking of starting a Small Breast Project with some other models around Chicago. Maybe a topless photo shoot of a group of women with AAA- to small B-cup breasts (personally I think small B’s are perfect, for the record) showing off our lovely little titties. Then one day, more men’s magazines might start having classy photos like this one from Playboy France.
