Serious question about breasts...............
I really want to know why men are allowed to bear their nipples in public but women are not? I mean for Goddess sake - a nipple is a nipple no??? :)

28. HEY! Good for you!
I was just thinking about you this morning and was going to PM you to see how things were going. Sounds like it is going well. Keep whipping them out, 16 years ago I did and it was not always looked upon kindly, even if you covered up. Tough titty I say! Go for it MaMa and let me know sometime how you are.

47. Hi!
I'm back at work. (On lunch now--have about 2 minutes left) It's heartbreaking to leave him all day, but at least he's with his daddy.

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Gotta run!

55. Good!
The more of us that do that, the less shocking it becomes. There is nothing in the world more natural than a breastfeeding mother. I recently weened mine, and I miss it.

59. Was weening hard?
How long did it take? I'm thinking since he's getting breast milk in a bottle from 8am-6pm Monday through Friday while I'm at work, that maybe it will be easier for us. I hope that weening will still be a long way off tho.

11. boys will be boys so girls must take care
It all goes back to the attitude that men can't be held responsible for their urges, so it's the responsibility of women not to tempt them.

20. In some states it's fine.
Basically, many states (NY and CT for instance as well as others) had to throw out the visibility of a woman's breasts as public indecency because too many nursing mothers were being harassed for feeding their babies. I guess find out what states those are, remove garments, and enjoy. :shrug:

23. Dan Savage did a great
column about the man nipple issue. Some guy wrote in about how he liked taking off his shirt and flashing his nipples at everybody. If I remember correctly, Dan responded about how icky and wrong it is to make other people participate in sexulaity sans choice.

31. Two words: traffic fatalities
It'd be like bumper cars out there. Picture VW Beetle Convertibles with nubile young co-eds...topless. Insert screeching tires, careening SUVs and rocketing insurance premiums.

The root of all evil. You don't want higher insurance premiums so women can't walk around on a hot day topless. Figures. The Almighty dollar wins again.

51. That was only the side effect of the main issue
Did you miss the subject header "Traffic Fatalities" or just go blindly rushing to what could be spun to being negative? The ins premiums were an additional negative end result of the...wait for it...yes, traffic fatalities. You know...people dying? I swear, sometimes it seems like people are just LOOKING to be offended by what someone says.

Shit, women can walk around topless all they want. Won't bother me.
