    This is totally incorrect. Do you have any sort of sources for this? I’d love to see one.

    Many cultures even today don’t “fetishize” breasts. If what you’re saying is correct, that shouldn’t be a thing.

    I don’t know the exact evolutionary advantage of human breasts, but surely due to the production of milk that is supportive of the best growth for babies. That’s how natural selection works.

    Also if your idea of “sexual selection” was correct, wouldn’t every woman have massive tits? All giraffes have long necks, don’t they?

      It’s true that it’s not proven. What is true is that human breasts are weird and no one is sure why. The theory I most support is sexual selection because it looks like it’d be good for feeding babies

      I didn’t say fetishize. Sexual selection just means it ihas informed decisions to mate

      surely due to the production of milk that is supportive of the best growth for babies

      You’d think this but apparently it’s not true. This is why I think it’s a sexual selection thing. Some stone age dude probably thought the same thing

      Humans are the only animal that have big tiddies when they aren’t nursing.
