Pffft! It's not logic kicky, it's veracity. Only deduction goin' on here was about whether the dudette has a penis.
Americans tend to think our preferences in beauty are based in nature which is only partly true. Other cultures see our different tastes and note that there is cultural differences but from what most Americans say you'd think it were an inherently human thing.
Individual (I think) tried to equate it with a biological breast-feeding thing. Coincidentally he happened on what many idiotic shrinks say is the reason for the "North American" obsession with boobs: reduction in breast feeding.
I think it's complete bull but many shrinks say it. I found a page with a quote:

It's got a lot of junk there, but I'm just trying to show that this is a cultural thing and not an inherently human thing.
I know, because my own tastes changed depending on the degree to which I was immured in different cultures. Until I went to Brazil I never much cared about butts, now I do. I picked that up from Brazil. I simply see butts that used to be perfectly acceptable to me in the past and think they are... butt-ugly.
Anywho, I'm gonna try to stop spoiling the fun with... gasp.... knowledge exchange (hey, it's fun for me) but here are some more references:
Short History of breasts - I just skimmed this but everything I read was spot-on. It covered the fact that it's a recent phenomenon and a cultural thing:
Quote:It is also worth noting that American attitudes about the sexuality of breasts are hardly universal and may even represent a minority viewpoint in the larger worldly view.
Book: Breasts: The Women's Perspective on an American Obsession
An art show about the american obsession with breasts
Incidentally, it's damn hillarious (and feekin'
typical of American culture) that we both have an obsession with breasts and hang ups and taboos about baring them.
Ok, here's some fun, While looking for the idiot shrink quote I found this:
"Normal breasts" gallery. Now, I don't care too much about the actual point of the page, that idealized breasts and such are so abnormal and all, hell it's not like the porn industry is out to portray realisting peni either. I don't care about that.
But some are interesting. My favorite set are the ones on the bottom in the middle. Kicky tells me his favorite is 5 down and on the left.
