When I started watching the hit TV series Off Campus—the show that has middle-aged women in a chokehold—I expected to be talking about the romance. Instead, I found myself thinking about Hannah’s boobs. Not because the show was drawing attention to them, but surprisingly because it wasn't.
Here was a young woman with a fuller chest wearing T-shirts, cute cardigans and jeans without every outfit being engineered to maximise cleavage or every glimpse of a bra turning into a moment of titillation (pardon the pun). She wasn’t squeezed into lace balconettes that no university student would realistically wear to class, nor was her body treated as shorthand for sex appeal. She simply existed as a woman with bigger breasts. That shouldn’t feel groundbreaking. Somehow, it does.
