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?

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...
