Thank you for exposing yourself to a toxic amount of ta-tas. 500 years? You’re a true martyr. How are you still alive to tell the tale?

So basically...boobs: they’ve always been here and some people need to get over it.

As a woman who nursed for five years, let me tell ya, strangers on the Internet (and irl tbh) DEFINITELY want women to know what they think about breasts being used as food dispensers. And y'know what? We don't! It's like, excuse me, unless you want this child to keep screaming, we're going to be exposing some stuff.

I would be really interested in a video about the different types of maternity and nursing corsets over time. Most of the articles I can find are full of misinformation and it would be refreshing to hear more of an expert's view on them!

What I find most interesting about this research that you've done is that it shows that it was WOMEN who wanted to show off their cleavage, not men, who it seemed found it unpleasant if a woman showed too much or at too high of an angle.
