An interesting article: http://www.all-naturalbreasts.net/volum-bust/breasthistoryvb.htm ..................... The male obsession with female breasts is a fairly recent phenomenon from a historical viewpoint. In all types of ancient art medium, the female breast was usually exposed. Even in the Christian realm, paintings, sculptures, and drawings commonly and frequently depicted females with one or more uncovered breasts. (...) In truth, there are no ancient social or cultural precedents to explain the current belief that female breasts are sexual magnets for males. (...) Female breasts and sexuality did not become strongly connected until the repressive Victorian age when women were expected to cover more of their bodies. Strangely, during this same era, the female breast reached a zenith of sorts, as women's clothing was deliberately and provocatively designed to emphasize, enlarge, and expose as much of the female breast as possible without showing the nipples. Thereafter in western societies, the female breast continued its onward march towards becoming a social icon and sexual projectile. (...) [In fifties, ] Another social icon, the Barbie� Doll, must also have certainly influenced millions of young girls in their thinking about what was cool, fashionable, and desirable. Henceforth, the Barbie� breasts with their rather large and protruding statue, became an ideal that most women could only dream of, at least until the advent of mainstream plastic surgery. (...) If you were wondering why its called a Bra, the term became popularized from a controversial lawsuit over patent rights in the 1930's between a French designer and garment maker named Phippipe De Brassiere and an American garment inventor. The American lost the lawsuit, the garment received widespread national and worldwide publicity and the name was shortened to Bra by the media and thus became institutionalized. (...) This "bigger-is better" trend began with the colonization of the West during the post-colonial days of American expansionism and continues today with the obsessive propagation of merger-i-tus by American corporations. Thus, Americans have a long heritage of always bragging about having the biggest something. Perhaps some of this historical American tradition of expansionism has mutated into a social concept or set of cultural beliefs that the female with the biggest breasts is the sexiest and most desirable. ..................... ---> jab | commie | http://commie.oy.com "I tell people my breasts were made in Normandy from butter and creme fraiche." --- Laetitia Casta
