I’ve been listening to a lot of Stephen King short stories and am shocked how every female character’s breasts are described when they are introduced. Not shocked at how they are described, but shocked that they’re described at all. Who cares? The justification I’ve read is, “a lot of his stories are from the pov of the male character and men notice women’s breasts.” We also mentally debate whether or not it’s a good time to take a shit, but that never makes it into books.
