Like larger breasts? = you hate women!!

    ....if you are a white man anyway! (see article)

    Apparently, if you are a man and your preference is for a larger chest size you are not only sexist but you are misogynistic. Makes perfect sense doesn't it?
    The researchers found that the preference for larger breasts was significantly linked to overt sexism, benevolent sexism, female objectification and otherwise hostile and unpleasant views towards the fairer sex.
    'Our results showed that a greater likelihood of rating a larger breast size as physically attractive was predicted by men’s oppressive beliefs,' the researchers wrote.
    'Specifically, we found that men who more strongly endorsed benevolently sexist attitudes toward women, who more strongly objectified women, and who were more hostile toward women idealised a large female breast size.

    What are your thoughts on this? The survey doesn't specify what constitutes a large breast size but the graphic shown doesn't depict the ridiculous. If you prefer a larger size than the first image on the graphic, do you feel you have an oppressive attitude towards women?

    For the female members, do you feel men whose preference is for a larger size are oppressive, sexist or misogynistic?

    To me its the usual tabloid article inferring the usual 'men are aggressors and women are victims' nonsense. Men have different tastes when it comes to women and women have the same when it comes to men.

    Of course women who like tall and muscular men would never be labelled with being sexist or misandrist but lets not open that can of worms.

    Well if the choice is Knightsbridge or Kardiganshire I'll take the former, even though she looks like she might break in a breeze.

    AH answer: Women are allowed get "curvy", if men gain a similar amount of weight they are lazy ****s.

    Real answer: It's all a load of bollocks made up by someone on the rag. People like different things.

    Source? Daily Mail. Who'd have guessed?

    Next week, the researchers will show that men who like having sex with women really hate them...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 46,938 ✭✭✭✭Nodin


    .....I really should have gone to 3rd level. This research thing is gas.

    The researchers were male!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,088 ✭✭✭Pug160


    Participants were asked to rate their agreement with statements like, 'I feel that many times women flirt with men just to tease them or hurt them', and 'intoxication among women is worse than intoxication among men.'


    Yeah, so there was no agenda or anything. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,079 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    This makes me sad.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    Why just white men?

    Is it cause of this?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,910 ✭✭✭OneArt


    That sounds like bunch of pseudo-feminist anti-men bollocks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,301 ✭✭✭Daveysil15


    Well almost everything is sexist now. May as well add the boob lovers to the list.

    I thought he was referring to the rag that is the Daily Mail.

    Ooops! It's hard to concentrate when one's boobs weigh one down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,088 ✭✭✭Pug160


    I did a quick Google search on these two researchers and it seems that they have somewhat of a fetish on this subject. Other research includes ''stressed men drawn to heavy women''.

    Wouldn't it be great to get paid for researching a load of baloney.

    Seems to me that the majority of research scientists are just a bunch of spoofers. Look at the stupid **** they do research on, make up some statistics that can't really be called conclusive or challenged easily and Ka-ching! it's easy money for feck all actual work.

    You realise that you, and people like you, can tick "no", to that question, right?


    Honestly, I think basic statistics should be a secondary school subject because the abject failure of most people to understand even basic surveys is pervasive, and it's not like they don't feature in day to day life; government, research, popular media, religion...tons of common topics involve statistics.

    Apparently there is a correlation between liking big breasts and having sexist attitudes. This doesn't have to say anything about you, dear boardsie, any more than statistic about smoking mean a living 90 year old smoker died of cancer when he was younger.

    Title of this is horribly misleading (not blaming OP, but the media which is reporting on the survey).

    Large breasts are caused by higher estrogen levels, so liking large breasts means you like girls with more estrogen subconsciously = you like more "feminine" girls.
    Truth is, this is your brain's subconscious way of judging potential fertility.

    Liking feminine women does NOT make you a misogynist, regardless of what people might want to believe. I have a serious problem with people who equate being attracted to femininity as being sexist - nobody calls women who like guys with muscles and facial hair sexist for being attracted to testosterone, do they? :confused:

    (For the record, I'm a boob man, but I'm not actually a man for the unnaturally massive ones myself)

    I really object to this constant attempt to stigmatize human instincts which have been hard wired into us for thousands of years. Nobody is telling girls they should feel guilty for finding six pack abs sexy. As usual, it's the lads who are doing something wrong.

    NEXT UP: Survey analysis shows that men who make nasty pejorative comments about women are insecure little dickheads.

    Actually there's a huge movement towards criticising the excessive objectification of men and the pressure for an idealised body.

    I suppose women who love penises are anti men?
