Het betere nieuws op de donderdagmiddag, The Cut vraagt vrouwen hun eigen borsten te tekenen. Het magazine vroeg 57 vrouwen uit New York tussen de leeftijd van 17 en 72 om hun borsten na te tekenen en erbij uitleggen hoe erover dachten. Het mini-project wil de aandacht vestigen over de schoonheidsidealen van de maatschappij en de moeilijkheden die ermee gepaard gaan.

“In cafés and bars, on playground benches and on the way to work, women laughed when they heard the question, disparaged their drawing abilities, and gave it a shot,” schrijft The Cut. “We heard stories of breast cancer, breastfeeding, and what it’s like to become a double D in elementary school. Women drew their scars, big nipples, or barely there boobs. They offered advice, wrote what they love about themselves or why they wished for something else. Big, small, or somewhere in between, there were a few instances of eh and a good number of they’re perfect!”
