If other people have a problem with the size of a woman's breasts, then guess what - it's THEIR problem.

I was talking about myself in my post. I said that my breasts seem "disproportionate" on my body-- because my proportions deviate from the average. It was not a value judgment and I do not think there is anything wrong with the way I look. It is simply a fact that my proportions (height, clothing size, chest size) deviate from the average-- which is why I have an incredibly difficult time finding shirts that are small enough for my body but large enough for my breasts. They also get in the way when I work out. They also attract unweaned attention sometimes. I did NOT validate this unwanted attention. I did not say it was okay. I did not say women SHOULD be taken less seriously in professional situations because of their appearance or chest size. I said that, sometimes, I have had the experience of receiving unwanted attention in professional settings because of my chest size. It is a fact. It is not okay, but it did happen. I stood up for myself and, hopefully, it was a learning experience for those involved. But that doesn't mean it didn't happen.
I also have chosen not to get a reduction. But as I said in my post, I understand why my cousins did and I support the OP in her decision.
