Nice Try. No Cigar.



Dig this email I just got.

My name is A. and I am contacting you from DETAILS Magazine in New York to tell you about an article in our latest issue which may be of interest to you and your readers at Bitch Ph.D.. We think that uber-boobs are unattractive and have gotten out of control, so we wrote about it in our latest issue.



HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!

Details thinks "uber-boobs" are unattractive! I bet all the girls are just falling on their knees thanking god that we've got permission from Details magazine not to get breast implants.

Isn't that white of them? No lady wants to have "out of control" boobs!

I just feel so much better about my feminism now that I know that Details doesn't approve of breast implants. Whew.

The article, if you're bored shitless and don't have anything else to read, is here. I have no idea if it's hilarious, inane, or wrath-inducing, because I can't be bothered to read some wanking article from Details about breasts. But hey, if you're so inclined, there's the click.

(P.S. to A. from DETAILS Magazine: actually, we bitches don't care what you think of our bodies. Sorry about that. Go buy yourself something nice and feel better, honey.)

Bitch_PhD thinks that men who expect her to care what they find attractive are unattractive and have gotten out of control.

I can't stand those humungo chests that some people find super attractive...I'm horrified that one day I'll be at the supermarket and some lady will turn around with her 50" cups and klobber me into the canned soup. Horrified. Like the Hippo Lady from Rocko's Modern Life....

I found some parts of this article really funny like here where they make analogous descriptions of breasticles here:

"one million shiny new über-boobs have overflowed welcoming bras like rising dough foaming over bread pans, or strained provocatively against satin blouses and wet T-shirts, pert nipples on red alert."

Or here, where they're described as a security vulnerability to to terrorists:

"Islamo-maniacs carrying handheld lasers. A quick zap where bikini top meets armpit and Great Satan's milk wagons go kablooey."

And also in a strange twist of the pop-cans stacked to the moon concept we get this:

"If you laid them end to end they would stretch from Clifton, New Jersey, to Columbus, Ohio!"

That's quite an image but they don't tell us just how far that is, now do they? Thank gawd for google maps telling us that the distance is 532 miles. This makes me picture that part in 40 days and 40 nights where Josh Hartnett is flying over the field of boobs.

Did you write them back and enlighten them in a polite, informative manner as to why you and your readers wouldn't be interested in their article, thus explaining an aspect of feminisim to an audience that is obviously only marginally familiar with the topic, or did you just laugh at them?

I'm guessing they thought you'd be interested in it because the article attempts, in a rudimentary way that is accessible to the kind of people who read a magazine like Details, to discuss the pressure women feel to look attractive to men, the societal pressure to have big pin-up tits in order to be considered attractive, and things like women "obediently conforming to some caricature of beauty fantasized by traveling-salesman types."

The man who wrote the article refers to himself as a feminist. Since he's so obviously miguided in your opinion, perhaps some education from a proper bitch could straighten him out!


For the record, it's a fairly inane, innocuous article.

It's actually not a terrible article. Any biased viewpoint is going to appeal to some and piss off others but he shares my view, so I thought it was alright.

details...that's like...the in touch weekly of the mens magazine world, right?

I'm not entirely certain all 500,000 women who had breast implants done this year necessarily had augmentations...I know at least two women who had reductions, and a third who simply wanted to look "younger"

I appreciate the effor at dispelling the myth that bigger is better but rather than denouncing implants, why not take the high road and praise natural beauty? (other than the fact that the editors of Details would probably call you any number of "Hippy" names)

I'm also curious who else he sent an e-mail to.

So you care so little about what the people at Details think that you did exactly what they asked, and linked to the article in your blog? How revolutionary of you.

Did they say anything about 3rd nipples? Cuz I think that is an under-researched topic.
