Interesting, and I have no issues with it.

Can't read the article. The C-J site keeps bumping me to a survey.

I'm hearing rumors that @TheDeuce already has his chair set up along the walk route, and is even offering free breast examinations. You've really got to appreciate his involvement in the community and willingness to get behind and support causes.

First of all, I am absolutely supportive of a woman's rights to breastfeed in public. In that situation, there is nothing sexual about it.

 

Having said that, one of the things that absolutely grosses me out is seeing men walk around in public shirtless. :puke:

You must hate that first warm day of the year. It's like magic around Northern Ky, the first day it hits 70 degrees, or the first day of grass cutting, every guy has to lose their shirt.

You're saying those good-ol' boys who walk along the side of the highway with their jeans and no T-shirt aren't doing it for you?

kinda funny you said that. We just moved not long ago. We live relatively close to the front of the neighborhood and simply don't head to the back for any reason. Yesterday, however, we just drove through wasting time and around the first turn out pops a dude mowing with his shirt off that would have made Chewbacca say "damn!" Just get electrolysis or wax or a weedeater or something

I say "Free em All"...I've always said that!

Landmark day for the young men of St. Francis High. :banana:

With me having never been excited by the site of bare breasts, I've always sorta wondered why men can, and woman can't be shirtless in public.

 

However for men who do get excited by it, then there's bound to be a certain percentage that won't be able to control themselves, and some could cross the line, increasing rape numbers, with those men trying to use the excuse that "she was asking for it".

 

Everyday men excited by it, but with better control could still find themselves in awkward social moments of not being able to take their eyes off of them.

 

I suppose what I'm describing could be the initial reaction, but if it were to become commonplace then maybe eventually it wouldn't even be such a big deal.

 

Perhaps the reason unconsciously in a man's mind that breast are presently a big deal is because of them being covered, they've always grown up in a world where they've seemed forbidden for their eyes.

 

Using more native tribal regions of the world, I don't get the impression that men are overheating there seeing women in their community bare breasted, as it's just normal to them.

 

On the topic of breast feeding, a woman most certainly should be able to do that when she needs to, as breasts are a primary legitimate function of motherhood, and feeding a child is essential, and definitely not sexual, and anyone who objects needs to get over it and realize that before modern times it would've been commonplace before man piled on with his sometimes more illogical rules, most likely initially set in place to prevent anyone from seeing any part of the flesh of their woman. Now of course we see more flesh, but the breasts have remained off limits.

 

The good question might be just how long would it take before it would become no big deal if we as a society truly went that route, and how much trouble could it spawn in the meantime?

I am just curious, what is wrong with a woman breastfeeding in public and covering "it" up with a blanket or something? I have seen that a few times and find no problem with it. I guess throw me in the category with the people that think it is kind of weird to see a woman breastfeeding with everything hanging out. It definitely doesn't get me "excited" or anything like that, I think it is more just kind of shocking to me and something you don't see everyday.

I am not saying this out of naivety, this is honestly what it looks like to me. If someone could correct my logic, please do. But the following is what the feminism movement looks like to me.

 

Feminist Logic:

 

1. "Free the nipple! Everyone look, I can show my breasts too just like men!"

2. "We women are objectified by men. Our eyes are up here, stop looking at me just because of my body parts."
