Is it true that smaller breasts today are due to increased testosterone due to the rise of independent women?

Question

and also this predisposes my daughters and or grand daughters to unbalanced hormone levels, resulting in just slight adaptations with each generation less busty or obese in retrospect to history of larger breasted women in general than today.

independent women below open their mouth to fast without researching the data!!
between the horomnes that are added to chicken and other food, birth control, changes that occur over time and combined with the changes of society, population, and economic development (stressed women in charge over time is proves to decrease the more feminine highlights of a women!) increased testosterone = decreased estrogen over time. women taking on more manly roles will produce more testosterone and manlier looking women, and vice versa. and testosterone does affect the body that inturn affects the breasts!!!

Answer 1

Breast size and hormonal levels have nothing to do with a woman choosing to be independent.

Answer 2

Most women I know are of the large breasted persuasion. and i think your "facts" are little off. growth hormones and other chemicals such as pthalates, actually contribute to feminization of males. think about all the estrogen that is flushed down toilets every day from women on the pill taking a leak and doens't quite make it out of our drinking water. yea, growth hormones are bad, so don't eat at KFC. breast size is determined by genetics. what does independency have to do with testosterone levels? the 2 have no correlation. women have been on the rise to independency for 100 years so your theory doesn't quite pan out. also, if i were you, i'd be wary about what you read on internet. people can pass anything as factual information on the web. i suggest looking up pthalates to get some legit info. and look at steriods- it's a growth hormone that gives men breasts and shrinks their testicles.

Answer 4

Are You suggesting that 'micromastia' is a byproduct of Feminism and that Men are in some way to blame for Your genetic propensities?Try blaming the food chain and the chemical additives use n the production and manufacture of same.
Social scientist are telling Us that testosterone levels are on the decline.So which is it going to be?

Answer 5

Where is the data for this theory?

There is data to support that because of the high amount of anti-depressants being used, several rivers in larger cities in the US and Great Britain have tested with high levels of SSRIs.

There have also been high levels of eostregen found in the Thames during random samples due to the amount of birth control tablets being consumed.

There isn't a way for testosterone to independently be found in a city's water suppy or other means for the general public to consume it. There isn't a high enough community of body builders or those with medical conditions who would use anabolic steriods living in the same area to produce enough testosterone to be found in rivers or other water supplies.

Your theory is incorrect. Here is why: (1) You are using the model of an "independent woman" as a description of the things that you most likely do not agree with. This isn't a real or viable sampling to test. Indeed, how could one describe an independent woman?

(2) Let's say for a moment that one can describe an "independent woman" by using a set of criteria. Next, you would have to decide what size breast is considered large or small. Considering that women have come in all shapes and sizes since the beginning of humanity, this would be a subjective model. There is no way to tell if a woman is independent and therefore has smaller breasts than someone who isn't er, independent.

(3) How does one describe "independence"? How about those who have lost all of their family and have lived alone their whole lives, are these women independent by "choice" and therefore were genetically born with a predisposition to smaller breasts or the fact that environment has given them no choice but to be independent in order to survive and their bodies somehow through some strange osmosis and an ability to absorb testosterone through the air, would go on to develop smaller breasts than a control sample.

(4) Yes, onto the "control sample". You would need a large enough number of women that could be identified as "large breasted" AND these women would have to be considered (once again, subjective criteria) "dependent" but dependent on what? Their family? Other women? Society? Men?

(5) If I could give a list of what I would consider "independent women", I'm afraid all of those women have pretty large breasts compared to an average across any given community.

Madonna is a fine example. She spends alot of time working out and keeping more muscle to fat on her body yet her breast tissue has always been quite plentiful.

(6) Here is my favourite part. Far from women beginning to develop smaller breasts. Research - which has been published - has found that women in the Western world are becoming larger in stature AND their breasts have grown by over 2 cup sizes in the past 20 years.

If you intend to go into science and something tells me that is unlikely, be sure to research properly and diligently BEFORE you attempt to publish theories or hypotheses.

It is embarrassing to have one's work ripped apart.

Answer 6

No, I think it has to do with the fact that, what, a couple of generations ago small breasts were considered the "beauty" ideal, and men were having sex with more small breasted women then large breasted women. There is also diet and exercise to consider because of the "thin is beautiful" ideal(if you are exercising a lot, not eating that much fat, etc..., one of the first places the fat comes off at is the breasts). There are still quite a few large breasted women out there, though, and not all of them are women that aren't independent.

Answer 7

While it is true that women have testosterone though at much lower concentrations than men, this has nothing to do with the rise of independent women.
As for smaller breast, breast are primarily made of fat, put on weight and your breast will get bigger. There are more skinny women that exercise than in the past. As it was once taboo for women to play sports or workout.

Answer 8

Thinking along that line of logic - wouldn't it also be true then for all men to have a large penis since they not only have natural testosterone being that they're males, but if they eat chicken, their penis should grow?

Answer 9

Breast size is genetic - and anyway, connected to estrogen. Estrogen makes mens breasts enlarge as you can see from the number of man-boobs these days. Testosterone isn't involved with breasts, but if it got into the drinking water like estrogen has, it would make women hairy.
