Even though we still live in a big-boob bubble, many women are voluntarily reducing their breast size. Others are happily deciding to “go flat” after cancer, while transgender parents are coaxing milk out of transformed breasts. Are we entering a post-boob universe, one in which women are taking more control over what their breasts look like? Can women ever really take back their breasts?

Breasts have been bared, flaunted, measured, inflated, suckled, pierced, tassled -- and in every way fetishized by our society.
