Large breasts are celebrated in a patriarchal society that objectifies women’s bodies. But, for these four women, having uncomfortably large breasts has caused painful and embarrassing situations throughout their lives.
“In high school, a male teacher joined in with a group of schoolgirls who were making fun of how big my boobs were. It was humiliating,” recalls Thelmay Wahl. Now, 67, Wahl has experienced a lifetime of physical and emotional pain.
Being mocked, whispered about, and stared at is an almost daily occurrence for women who have very big breasts.
