The reason why so many women suffer from breast self-loathing is because 
our culture does not expose ANYONE to the huge variances of breast forms.  
Because we don't see the variation, we think that 

a) only our own breasts are normal, or 

b) only those we see in media are normal.

My own personal experience is that I happen to have equally sized and 
perfectly shaped breasts (now a B cup, formerly A), but I have HUGE 
montgomery glands.  Naturally, I thought that was normal, and that everyone 
had huge m.g. glands.  As I began to be exposed to other breasts, I was 
honestly very surprised to see that many women's nipples had no bumps and 
many had hair.  I still remember the first time I saw hair on a woman's 
breasts...I remember thinking "they have HAIR?"

Is that laughter I hear? ;~>

Honestly, I had just never seen it before, and innocently had no idea.  Think 
maybe we can get the Dove soap people to expand their "real beauty" ads?!?
