A fine art

It’s not often you get to enrage both feminists and misogynists at the same time but a new study, just published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, may have managed this impressive feat.


It found that men’s preference for larger breasts was associated with having a greater number of oppressive beliefs about women.


Feminists can be enraged about how a natural variation in body shape has become associated with sexist attitudes while misogynists that their breast size preference can be thought of as a problem.


Social scientists, however, may be left relatively unperturbed at the thought of this study. But please, allow me.


So, come on now. What does it really tell us?


You can thank me later.
