Probably, among the organs and parts of the human body there is no more utilitarian and at the same time poetic than a woman's breast. The mammary glands, originally intended for feeding children, first became the object of almost superstitious worship for men, and then turned into quite ordinary objects designed to win male admiration by increasing their size or improving their shape. Let's try to look at the female breast as one of the organs of the human body, which is sometimes given too much attention.
1. If there were milk from the name of the Milky Way galaxy in real life, it would be milk from a woman's (even divine) breast. Legend has it that Zeus decided that Hercules needed to be made immortal, and for this purpose he put him on the chest of the sleeping Hera. The goddess woke up, saw that they were slipping a strange baby into her (Hercules was the son of Zeus from the mortal Alcmene), and took away her breast. The sprinkled milk became the Milky Way. And the word "galaxy" itself comes from the Greek "milk".
2. Big breasts can sometimes be a barrier to a career. Since the beginning of the 21st century, women with too large bust have not been accepted into the Italian army. They are invited to perform the appropriate operation. Not a bad test, in fact, to test the motivation of future military personnel.
3. Romanian tennis player Simone Halep also had to reduce her breasts. Moving from junior to adult tennis, the budding tennis player dramatically slowed down her progress. Simone decided on the operation and was right. The athlete's progress resumed, she won 16 tournaments and since October 2017 she is the first racket in the world.
4. Anna Semenovich, in a situation similar to Khalep, made a different decision. The girl, who had good prospects in figure skating, left the sport due to too curvaceous forms. However, it is unlikely that the already held star of cinema and show business really regrets it so much.
5. The only recorded case of discrimination due to the shape of the breasts when hiring is the requirement of the authorities of one of the Chinese provinces not to employ women with asymmetrical bust. The rule worked for only a few years, until one of the resolute job seekers threatened the officials with a loud scandal.
6. The Chinese aesthetes from personnel work must not have known that if they had fulfilled their demand literally, government institutions in the PRC would have been left without female staff - 9/10 of the fair sex have asymmetrical breasts.
7. A kind of European championship in the number of women with large breasts won, according to a study of 5000 women, Great Britain. The Dutch finished second, the Danes third. The study was carried out by a British group of scientists.
8. For thousands of years, artists and sculptures have depicted female figures with an unnaturally large bust - a woman was a symbol of fertility and prosperity. The criteria changed only a couple of centuries ago.
9. Until now, the African tribes staying in ancient times value a woman traditionally - the best wife will be a girl with outstanding (literally) breasts and pelvis.
10.From 1889 to the 1960s, women were enlarged or restored to their natural shape by placing a wide variety of objects and substances under their skin. They even included ox cartilage, wool, and foam. But even relatively safe implants that appeared later can create a lot of problems for the carrier.
11. For the American company "Dow Corning" breast implants have become a real curse. The market leader in silicone products has taken over the production of breast prostheses. After 9 proven patient deaths, the company was sentenced to a $ 4 billion fine and went bankrupt.
12. Norma Stitz, née Anne Hawkins-Turner, has the largest bust in the world according to the Guinness Book of Records. Her chest (natural) size 48 weighs 45 kg with a total weight of 159 kg Norma. Before filming a TV show in Moscow, singer Mikhail Muromov tried to hug the record holder, but the girth of his arms was only enough to put his palms on the shoulder blades of the American guest. Norma Stitz works as a model and has starred in six films corresponding to the genre of her external data.
13. A woman's breast can be turned into an instrument of social or political struggle, it is enough for its owner to make an inscription on the breast or take a poster in her hands, and expose the part of the body that attracts the attention of men in a public place. The most illustrative example of such performances is the activities of the Ukrainian group FEMEN.
14. There is a somewhat extravagant theory about a woman giving a signal about readiness for copulation. If in ancient times the females protruded up a beautiful ass, under which there were reddened labia, now it is enough for them to demonstrate the neckline and lips painted with bright lipstick.
15. In 2006, a passenger on a Moscow-San Francisco flight had to be urgently hospitalized after landing in the United States. The verdict of the doctors of the clinic to which the traveler was taken was politically correct: “destruction of breast implants”. The victim had a sixth breast size.
16. At the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, Gabriela Papadakis of France, who competed in dance pairs with Guillaume Sizeron, slipped what the skaters call a dress in the short program. The press immediately circulated a photo of the figure skater's bare left breast. The French couple, who took second place, had only to attribute the defeat to the partner's upset after such a shame.
Tin and shame in Pyeongchang
17. A bronze sculpture of Juliet is installed in Verona. The bust of the Shakespearean heroine has become a talisman of good luck - Italians and guests of Verona rub it hard in anticipation of good luck in love. As a result, the young girl's chest not only shines, eclipsing everything around, but also decreased in size - bronze is a very soft metal.
18. Within seven days in early February 2004, for the first and only time in history, the request for “boob” on the American Internet segment overtook the request for “boobs”. During the break of the American Football Championship final, Justin Timberlake either by accident or not completely bared Janet Jackson's chest live. Since Super Bowl viewers usually walk away from TV for physiological reasons during the long break, it was their search for a missed episode that pushed porn lovers to the second place in the ranking of search queries. The match, which was quickly forgotten by everyone, ended with the victory of “New England” over “Cleveland” with a score of 32:29.
That very moment
19. There is an opinion that girls and women bodybuilders have small breasts due to the intake of hormonal drugs or the size of the surrounding muscles. There are no doping tests in this sport, but the almost complete absence of breasts is more likely due to the fact that in preparation for tournaments, athletes burn fat, which, for the most part, consists of the mammary glands.
20. Approximately the same reason can be explained by the appearance of noticeable breasts in girls involved in cyclic sports immediately after the end of their sports career. The body knows its purpose, and the first unused resources of the body that appear are directed to the chest. The boy figure of runners, skiers and cyclists takes on attractive feminine features in a matter of months.
