6. Shaming young women because adults can't - or won't - be adult

It is not a woman's job to make sure you are not uncomfortable with her body. Once again, a school shames a young woman because they are making her responsible for others' reactions to her when it's the others who need to take responsibility for their feelings. So some girls have large breasts. Get over it and grow up. Man, this shit makes me angry.

If her body makes you uncomfortable, that's your problem. Not hers. Stop shaming girls because you can't handle your feelings.
