In their fight against child pornography, the Australian government has banned the depiction of small breasts in adult films and publications. The government feels that showing these smaller breasts portions may contribute to paedophilia because the women portrayed appear underage.
What are small breasts, you ask? The pariah cup in this story is the A-cup.
Kudos to the Australian government for attempting to combat child pornography rather than just saying they would. However...do they know that adult women can have A-cups too? And that a child of 16 could be putting other women to shame with a size C? At 16, my breasts were bigger than all of my aunties' (sorry for the image). You can't determine age by breasts anymore than you determine a liar by their feet.
As can be expected this law hasn't gone over quite well with most. One of them being Fiona Patten leader of the Australian Sex Party (it's more serious than the name implies) who calls the ban absurd. “We are starting to see depictions of women in their late 20s being banned because they have an A cup size."
Will this really curb child pornography or will it do what the modelling industry has been doing for years and propagate a delusive image of the female body? I'm almost certain that soon the 'real' woman will no longer be seen in mass media. And what of those who prefer adult movies and such featuring women with small breasts? Does this new law make them paedophiles?
Maybe companies specialising in adult content should better ensure that all their actors and models--both men and women--are of legal age...just a thought.
Did I mention that depiction of female ejaculation was banned too? Well yes it was. Strange how the men escaped the ban...
