    Women have huge breasts compared to our ancestor species for the same reason humans have huge penises. There is no evolutionary benefit other than attracting partners. Larger breasts can cause problems feeding babies and oversized penises can cause problems in the bedroom, which is one sign this stuff involved largely for mating reasons.

    If you think it’s even possible to evolve for someone, you’re not really grasping the time scales at play here. It’s not like a woman can decide to just have large-breastfed daughters or a man can decide to have sons with a huge penis, you don’t have active control over this process*.

    • Well unless you’re a mass rapist like Genghis Khan, I guess, but even his contributions are relatively minor on a historic scale
