It's a secondary sex characteristic that has developed, yes. That doesn't mean that it as a "fertility symbol" is a good thing.Aurgelmir said:Breasts are like wide hips a "sign of fertility" and is there fore a trait that is attractive to males. No, it is not something men go around thinking about, all we are left with is "bewbs are awesome"
That advantage you claim breasts have only exist because women have them. Men wouldn't be any less attracted to women if women did not have breasts or wide hips.
Also, I know plenty of men who don't like large breasts. Just like there are plenty of men who fetishize large breasts, there's quite a lot of men out there who fetishize small or flat chests. Or wide hips, for that matter.
Right! And breasts aren't useful in any way other than being considered attractive by some people. Which wouldn't exist if they didn't exist.Aurgelmir said:attractive traits and useful traits doesn't always go hand in hand. I do not remember the name of the moose who grew bigger and bigger antlers every generation, because it was the males with the biggest antlers that got to mate. But at one point the antlers got so big that they died out due to not being able to move.
The expectation to have large breasts is harmful for women. And it would hurt nobody to decrease it.
