"Perhaps there are a few adult women out there who ridicule the small
breasted- i don't know; but the majority of adult women don't care
about other women's breast size and don't discuss how small other
women's breasts are."
True, very true, most women don't comment openly or publicly about another woman's breasts (unless of course if they're gossiping about someone's "breast enhancement".)
However, that doesn't mean we don't get an earful, eyeful and head-full about what our breasts should look like on a daily basis. Hell, how about an hourly basis? How many tv moms have a "great rack"? How many pert and perky reminders are there on billboards, magazines, tv and movies about how well we do (or more often don't) measure up?
I wrote about my own issues in another thread, so I won't repeat them here. Still, it is a sad but true fact that many women have negative views of their own body. The LW may have felt she was correcting something wrong (that to us would seem perfectly fine) and to have attention drawn to it can be mortifying to say the least.
Should she feel that way? No, of course not. Does she feel that way? Yes, yes she does. What she wrote for was how to deal with the unwanted attention. Did she get the advice she needed? I have no idea.
