This kinda seems like fat people propaganda - like the pages that ask if you've ever seen a "normal" woman. It's a bunch of pictures of heavyset women, claiming they're the norm and bemoaning the fact that "real" women are never shown in the media. There are plenty of "normal" women who aren't obese.

It's the wording that bothers me.. "Have you seen pictures of normal non-sexual breasts?"

What a "normal" breasts? By using the word "normal", they're defeating their own purpose. The fact of the matter is that there is definitely a lot of variation in breasts, and there is no "NORMAL" breast. Furthermore, what's a "sexual" breast vs. a "non-sexual" breast? What's being done to them? There are plenty of pictures of women topless but not touching their breasts. Do those count as "non-sexual"? I have a hard time looking at those pictures because I'm at work, but I didn't see a single set of boobs in there that weren't sagging to greater or lesser degrees. Judging by the number of "amateur" porn pictures with "normal" women without breast implants, there are plenty of women withoutsagging boobs. If thy want to do this to make themselves feel better about their body image, more power to them. My girlfriend's boobs are much nicer than these, and she's "normal."

I just don't think it's fair to start calling obesity "normal." Instead of fixing the body image issues, it just makes the skinny people (skeletor) feel like they're not normal. If we're going to err on the side of body image, I'd much rather we err on the side of skinny than fat.

I don't need pictures of penises to determine if my cock is "normal" or not. It really doesn't matter to me. It's my cock.

I wish more women could take this position with their own anatomy, and stop declaring certain body types "normal" and some "abnormal."
