Viva la revolucion! We have prevailed! Well not we, per se, as I was off being a slackass in San Diego when all this was going on. But you get the point. Or maybe you don't. Let's start at the beginning. Yes, I know, a very good place to start. Shut it.Some women in England were complaining that Marks & Spencer had been charging higher prices for bras that were bigger.
I know! How long has this been going on? Except maybe at Target or Land's End or any other store in the world that gouges you 2$ for the XXL size that lets you feel skinny again.
Anyway, Marks & Spencer was charging an extra $3 for any bra that was size DD or larger. So some full-figured gals started a group called Busts 4 Justice on Facebook. I'm sure a group of large-breasted women had a lot of trouble making some friends or getting any attention on the internet. Why I just did a Google search on the internet for big breasts, and I couldn't find anything.
Anyhoo, Marks & Spencer couldn't stand all the hullaballoo and scrutiny and Facebooking and free public relations, so they caved in and big breasted women can now get their bras at the same price as non-big breasted women. You can have my big bra when you pry it from my cold, dead hand. That's still second base unless a lot has changed since I was younger. And it has.
Quote of the story: "They didn't want a lot of big-breasted women storming their meeting."
Yeah, I think we can all agree that Mssrs. Marks & Spencer would have hated that. "Quick, big-breasted women are attempting to storm our meeting. Bar the doors! We don't want to let any big-breasted women in here."
It's just good to see that big-breasted women are taking this important step forward. Because women with big breasts have been oppressed for so long. Never being able to get parts in movies or get men to pay attention to them or get out of a traffic ticket. I'm sure all the small-breasted women are just as excited that big-breasted women are finally getting their equal treatment.
Now I've got to get to my Cleavacious sales presentation for Mr. Marks and Mr. Spencer.

They SHOULD have to pay more! Ever see the cup size on a double D?! They are like pup tents! The squeaky wheel gets the discount...
I'm not sure which side of the fence I'm on here. As a wearer of DD, I wouldn't want to pay more. In fact, DD is a pretty common size; it's just that women have been measuring themselves incorrectly for a long time. Then again, there is more material used, so I can understand why companies would want to charge more. My concern is the cut off point. Why is it that XXL is more expensive, but XL isn't? I could wear a 40D and be okay, but a 34DD is too much? It doesn't make sense. I would understand if I were having my clothing custom made that the more material used would be more expensive, but chain stores surely can afford to keep all sizes the same cost.
