It appears there's a new craze sweeping the nation brought to you by the full-breasted young women of our great university system. This movement, or "boobment", as it's oh so cleverly been dubbed, started when one Kansas University co-ed tweeted a close-up of her bodacious boobies stuffed into a team shirt to, you know, rally her JayHawks to an unlikely come from behind victory. Just a lone send up to the Twitterverse. Now as luck or tits would have it they won. Don't ask me. Maybe god is a boob-man? The JayHawks came back from a 19-point deficit and thus a movement was born. Before long other KU girls started tweeting close-ups of their boobies in team gear and in a flash chicks from colleges around the nation hopped onto the flesh wagon, creating Twitter handles, Facebook pages and Instragram accounts teeming (teaming?) with breasty-school pride. What's that line from Field of Dreams? If you post it, they will win?
Now I'm not writing this simply to report on current events. I'm here to ask you, GuySpeak Nation, where you stand or droop on the matter? Is it offensive and devaluing to women by women? Or is it simply some semi-naughty fun in a world that takes itself too seriously? In fact, far from negative, there are those in the #boobment who are saying it's down right feminist. That the #Boobment is empowering to women, getting in on the action and throwing a wrench in the all-together male body worshipping that's on display 24/7 during NCAA competitions.
I will also say, as a dude scrolling through these tweets from, say Vanderbilt (@vandyboobs) or #UNCboobs it's a thrill. There is something lovely about feasting your eyes on a pretty pair of perkies. But I'm old enough to be most of these girls... math tutor, and there are dudes double my age feasting on this too. I'm left feeling how I leave most things: unsure. Able to argue both sides and more interested in hearing you guys out than wrestling more with myself.
Are you pro #Boobment?
Is this college pride or something else?
Is this just the beginning, ushering in the next wave of... Villanova Vagina Pride? Duke Dick Pride? University of Arkansas Anus Pride?
What if you don't have big boobs? It would feel pretty crappy to not be able to participate because of that. And it does send the message 'you're only good as a female if you have boobs' to girls who are a step below in the education system and may not have developed yet.
On the other hand they're doing it because they want to do it and boobs are pretty awesome.
I agree. I am a smaller chested woman, so I dont appreciate seeing chicks show off their big tits anymore than an inky pinky winky man would appreciate seeing big wangs with his fave team on it. Besides I dont want my daughters thinking this is the way to get attention.
And people who aren't very pretty, or want small breasts, or are short, or have a one of a million other qualities don't like to see tall, willowy models everywhere they go either, but they do. I like this big boob pride thing.
The question wasn't regarding what do we think of tall, willowy women. It was what do we think of the big boob movement. To each his own, but this was not even a relevant comment.
Would you want someone you care about to behave this way? I wouldn't. However if some strangers want to do it, be my guest. It doesn't affect me. These girls should be concerned about it coming back to haunt them. Crop out your face and post anonymously. If you're trying to become a CEO one day, being titty girl isn't going to mesh with your scrupulously built resume. Don't be surprised if someone unearths it and uses it against you. But if your dream is to become a mascot for the local carwash or chic in a beer ad, it could actually help you.
Gotta say I don't really care if people are posting their titties all over the net lol it's nothing new
I think it is funny that women find this "empowering". It is the same as when 2 straight women kiss in a bar. It seems to me that they are trying to hard to get male attention. I never see men bending over backwards to show their big dicks on display because they want to feel "empowered". Women will always be looked upon as objects in some way by most men and the media. It has always been that way and always will be, because most (not all) men judge women first for their looks and most women know that and are all too eager to comply by using their looks so they will be viewed desirable to men. Just the way it is. Same as most women aren't out prowelling for a dirt poor guy.....hmm although lately I have see an awful lot of perfectly great women hanging on to some bum.
I say it's semi-naughty fun! Correct me if I'm wrong; but, ALL women have been known to flash, enhance or display their cleavage (be it small, medium, large, real or fake) at some time or another. The first co-Ed was simply playfully displaying her sex appeal by showing off her "best" for the team. If others take that further to bare all.. That's their choice. Yes,it is true that their may be consequences to broadcasting your face with your bodacious bod. But, a little semi-naughty fun can be a good thing Ladies and Gentlemen.
