I have another question for both of you: how do you feel about breast reduction? There's an implication in this discussion that reduction isn't bad because it doesn't adhere to the "big breasts" ideal, but there's the symmetry thing, and there's the being defined by sexual characteristics thing. So, how is having your breasts smallified any less anti-feminist than having them enlarged?

Does your answer change if the woman believes (as many WLS patients do) that the breast reduction is reducing a strain of some sort that couldn't be addressed via strength-building or something?

I contend that all of these so-called choices are suspect, because all of them are influenced by cultural pressures about what a woman is/should be, but I'm not going to say one is better than the other. But I'm interested in what y'all have to say, too!
