small boob privilege is so real like…. bralettes… underboob tattoos… going braless?? not looking hyper sexual at all times ???? running comfortably? i could go on

YAS finally someone said this

Re: the “not looking hyper-sexual at all times”: I was troubled to notice at an all-women’s networking and mentoring workshop in academic philosophy – which is about ¾ male (like, worse than math and physics) – that the vast majority of the women there had very small breasts (and I include myself here), and an unusual number of them were not wearing bras and it looked fine. I strongly suspect that small-breasted women do better in a male-dominated, in many ways toxically masculine discipline like philosophy because they can pull off the androgynous look, and coming off as more masculine gets you taken more seriously. Not to mention that your ideas get more attention the less attention your breasts draw.
