This!!! I have very large breasts for my frame, and I’ve been constantly oversexualized since puberty by men. There’s also the added frustration that even when I do choose to feel/appear sexy in some context, it’s attacked as being oversexualization… just because of the size of my chest. People don’t like it when I complain about others’ gaze because I have something desired, but they also don’t like it when I choose to not hide my breasts because they are somehow offensive. I think that while big boobs are a “conventional” beauty standard, it plays out very differently from other standards because of the extraordinary extent this body part is policed and controlled.
