Australia outlawed small breasts in porn

“We are starting to see depictions of women in their late 20s being banned because they have an A cup size....”
Why ban small boobs? I can only assume it stems from paranoia that flat chests somehow stir up the pedophiles. And you only need to mention that “p” word to start a full-scale moral panic in Parliament.

Shall we put such hysteria aside and look at what this ruling is saying to Australian women? Basically, it’s classing a certain normal female body type as obscene. It’s declaring all flat chests to be automatically juvenile, something that should not be viewed by anyone because of a fear that it will stir up “base instincts” in certain people.

Can the Classification Board be any more insulting or sexist?

::snort::

Not all women with an A cup size are in their late 20's.

Sadly, this isn't the first I've heard of this. Honestly. These people are truly screwed up.

Calling any woman's body obscene is a travesty. It's the way that men think that is the obscene part. It's why certain countries have outlawed women showing even so much as their hair and eyes. People should go to jail because of their actions and women should not be considered obscene because of their bodies.

However, I feel like we have a right to look at certain porn distastefully given what said porn may allude to... including magazines like Barely Legal with its "Jail Bait" concept. It's legal and should be on the shelves but it is in bad taste IMHO for the fact that it caters to a pedophilic drive.

I don't know what you mean by a "pedophilic drive".

Pedophilia is the attraction to pre-pubescent children.

I don't see any 8 yr olds in similar such depictions, or anybody that could possibly be confused or construed as anybody so young or younger in such types of material.

We have to nip the absurdity that being attracted to or even involved with people in their teen years (or those who look in their teen years, or depict costumes and scenarios like "student uniforms", etc. even though they may be decades older even) = child porn in the butt. [no pun intended.]

In many places, ALL the models in magazines like Barely Legal, have passed the age of consent by a few years already.

The fact that it is called Barely Legal alludes to it being almost Illegal. The fact that it gives men the wank vibes from the taboo of being almost with people too young to be sexed upon is not in good taste TO ME. It's like if people ate almost human jerky... those humans against cannibalism may feel it was driven by the urge to eat human flesh.

Also, the fact that breasts are a sign of puberty, women with small breasts suggest that they may be just beginning puberty and not have reached it yet, and are chosen for the magazine because of that. Why choose small breasted women otherwise? But the magazine isn't called small boobed ladies... or lovely little bubs... it's called BARELY LEGAL. And it is in bad taste for THAT reason. I went through puberty at age 10... so it's hard to say when a child becomes a woman bodily... but the title itself is in bad taste... because I would have been too much woman at age ten because they want to showcase the idea of a woman at semi-puberty...
