What is so indecent about BOOBS?

In reaction to Janet Jackson's now famous Superbowl "wardrobe malfunction", President Bush signed into law a bill that increases the amount that the FCC can fine a broadcaster to $325,000 per incident.

What is the deal with a boob popping out? It's a boob! So what? Babies all over the world press their face up against one everyday. What makes a boob so "indecent"?

I would like to see bare chested women get the same treatment as bare chested men in this country. I want to mow the lawn with my top off. I wanna go topless at the pool. I want to see bare chested women on COPS.

More than all of that, I want people to stop teaching their kids that boobs are shocking. They are NOT shocking or indecent. What is indecent is a man, who can walk around with no shirt on any time he wants, signing a law increasing the fine for anyone who doesn't play along with this "dirty pillows", christian, double-standard agenda.

FFS! I'm mad!

( . )( . ) <---there. how's that for indecent???

I find it particularly funny that there is currently a huge movement to encourage women to breastfeed their babies instead of using bottles, yet at the very same time we are engaged in actively asserting that uncovered boobies will bring about the collapse of society as we know it.

To avoid the FCC, we only have to go to satellite and cable TV, and the Internet. Just stop watching broadcast network TV.

Then you can watch boobs all day long.

That is, people who can afford cable or satellite or the Internet have freer access to information than people who can only afford to watch broadcast television.

What I love is that the encouraged women go out and try to breastfeed, and everyone has a conniption fit when she pulls the old nipple out.

A women's chest is more sexual then a man's chest (in the opinion of the majority - which obviously is all that matters). And, well, we all know that sex is evil except when it's used for baby making.

Possibly having mixed saunas being used from an early age, like in Germany, would help this.

That said, the religious right would go mental about this, and a sauna won't be too popular in, say, Texas, I imagine.

Might be good in the northern states, though.

Boobs are so decent I demand to see them often.

I have no problem with people breastfeeding, my sole complaint is that the nice ones should be more exposed.
Unfortunately, its usually the real pigs that let it all hang out. In a restaurant. With dark,sticky birkenstocks on dirty feet. *shudder*

I want the nice ones out doing jumping jacks to get the milk flowing.

The nasty ones can remain in their over-stickered volvos.

We have saunas in Michigan (Upper Michigan to be more precise) but I don't think they're mixed. The only reason we have them is because Upper Michigan has a whole crapton of Finns living up there.

Because it would spoil boobs for the rest of us. Think about it. Guys will go into boob overload and it'll get to the point where guys get harder than trig when a girl wears a shirt. I can imagine it now. Strip clubs where the girls slowly dress to the hoots of men stuffing dollar bills into a "dressers" pants.

yeah, I thought that was a pretty funny double standard too.

anyway, the problem with boobs (as you so delicately put it) is that they make babies and grown men alike drool and it's mostly a sanitation problem, do you know what kinds of germs are in your saliva????

I move that men not be allowed to show their chests EITHER :)

(yes I'm quasi serious)

Equality doesn't have to mean more lasciviousness/nudity

Equality can be fining men for going around exposed too. I would fully support this action.

The human body is beautiful, but for many reasons it is best to keep it under wraps (both male AND female)

That way we don't have to suffer with the 80% of the population that doesn't look good nekkid, just for the sake of the 20% that does.

I am a man, and I never go around topless. I think it indecent :)

I think the obvious solution is to give all men breast implants, really BIG ones. that way everyone gets used to having boobies and dont get all worked up about them.

Well I'm from up here in Ontario Canada and a few years back an 18 year old girl heading home from school was hot so she took her top off. This led to her arrestt, a fight for her rights in the courts and eventually the legalization of a womens right to be topless in public in the province of Ontario. I can now let it all hang out. Woot!
Except of course I don't, nor have I ever seen anyone else do it. I've heard rumors about it happening at the beach but even that is somewhat rare at least in my city.
In fact it hasn't had much effect at all except a few bylaws about where it's actually appropriate to be topless (no shoes, no shirt, no service. kind of stuff) and a really great pun on Ontario's slogan "Ontario, yours to discover" which became "Ontario yours to uncover" on t-shirts everywhere. It still makes me smile.
The point is I have that right and even if I choose never to exercise it, that doesn't invalidate that it is my right to do the same as any male.

Breasts can be seen anytime anyway. Any ten year old can go on the internet and see them in 30 seconds even with the most dilligent nanny program. (Trust me I have a ten year old cousin) Instead of propagating "Girls bodies are dirty and should be hidden as the shameful evilness they are" we need to start teaching kids that their bodies are beautiful and to be respected. Shame is not a deterrent it just screws people up. Honesty and openess can't do any worse than current practises.
There's also something wrong with telling 52% of the population that their body is bad but the other 48% is fine what with the lack of a little fatty tissue and a couple of very useful glands. Equality is a basic human right it's time for the female majority to start exercising it.
Here I'll start (. )(. )



On a side note, since 52% of the world population is female (and according to the University of California the male chromosone is slowly going extinct) imagine if all the woman got together and backed their own political party. (picture it without bias or stupid stereotype) Imagine what changes there would be in the world.

Amen to that. I have absolutely no problem with boobs. They're truly wonderful things, and it's a shame to hide them.

Psychologically, the kind of puritanical standards we have in the United States (and elsewhere, though not Rome) are very unhealthy. Telling people that their bodies are wrong is the best way to make them neurotic.

There's nothing wrong with boobs. Public breastfeeding, no problem there. That's my opinion. I think that clothing certainly has a place in human culture. However, if somebody wished not to be clothed that's fine with me, depending on the locale and circumstance. You need to respect some peoples wishes not to see public nudity, but on private property (fully open private property) anything should be legal. Beaches as well, that's fine with me. But like, in the middle of a busy city, or sports arena, I don't know. That would just seem weird. God forbid, some ancient married couple sits next to me nude on an airplane,long flight, I'd probably puke. There is of course, the flipside of a pair of nubile young vixens sitting next to me naked a movie theater, then that could be interesting. There's give an take in all situations. :p

Yeah, I don't think the bra thing has the least thing to do with coverage, seeing as how bras are UNDERWEAR. You know, things you wear under your clothes? Hence, you've already got those areas pretty well covered.

Bras are about support. I'd wear one even if I were allowed to go around nude, because the twins tend to bounce uncomfortably if I try to run without some support. But I don't see any good reason why I shouldn't be able to take my top off at the beach, or walk around topless on a hot day.

When I was stationed in Germany, American men would stare at topless German women who were at the lakeside.

Bras are about support. I'd wear one even if I were allowed to go around nude, because the twins tend to bounce uncomfortably if I try to run without some support. But I don't see any good reason why I shouldn't be able to take my top off at the beach, or walk around topless on a hot day.

The twins? You call them "the twins"?

A women's chest is more sexual then a man's chest (in the opinion of the majority - which obviously is all that matters). And, well, we all know that sex is evil except when it's used for baby making.

Hard to know what that means, exactly.

However, some anthropologists have theorized the male fascination with female breasts, and the reason why human females evolved such disproportionately large breasts (as compared to our relatives the great apes), is that they are suggestive of an upturned ass. The upturned ass, of course, signifies a readiness to copulate, making large breasts enticing for the male.

That is one theory, anyway.

In reaction to Janet Jackson's now famous Superbowl "wardrobe malfunction", President Bush signed into law a bill that increases the amount that the FCC can fine a broadcaster to $325,000 per incident.

What is the deal with a boob popping out? It's a boob! So what? Babies all over the world press their face up against one everyday. What makes a boob so "indecent"?

I would like to see bare chested women get the same treatment as bare chested men in this country. I want to mow the lawn with my top off. I wanna go topless at the pool. I want to see bare chested women on COPS.

More than all of that, I want people to stop teaching their kids that boobs are shocking. They are NOT shocking or indecent. What is indecent is a man, who can walk around with no shirt on any time he wants, signing a law increasing the fine for anyone who doesn't play along with this "dirty pillows", christian, double-standard agenda.

Possibly having mixed saunas being used from an early age, like in Germany, would help this.

That said, the religious right would go mental about this, and a sauna won't be too popular in, say, Texas, I imagine.

Might be good in the northern states, though.

In some parts of Texas, where I grew up, for example, the weather already makes you feel like you're in a sauna, so it'd be kinda pointless.

That said, I'm not sure what the big deal is about women being topless either.

The way I see it, the sexualization of breasts is a purely societal function. Our tradition is to hide the woman's chest, thus increasing the desire to see the breasts. It is similar to countries where women hide their head hair, and thus the affront of seeing a woman's hair exposed is very great, even scandalous, and in some places, illegal. There are peoples, such as those that once inhabited the Hawaiian Islands, who saw female breasts as nothing more than vessals to nourish a child, and certainly no man popped a boner from seeing the things out in the open. In conclusion, what's the big deal with seeing breats? It's societal. I, like any male from a western country, am more likely to view breasts in a sexual way, because from birth they were hidden from us and told by those who came before that they must be covered. So, if you want to get laws passed to allow women to bare their breasts, it would go a long way to desexualizing breasts. But at the same time, few legislators would agree to such things, certainly not Bush or anyone up his alley, but more liberal types, would be willing to push for any such laws. So, there you have it. To get laws passed to let women "bare :headbang: breasts" you must first begin to desexualize them in the public's eye. However, do do this, you mus get men who view them as sexual objects already to pass these laws. In other words, very hard, and unfortunately, as I see nothing wrong with a woman shirtless, unlikely any time soon.

It was a girl, and yes, she was getting it as fresh as can be.

The husband quite enjoyed it, too. She made a comment about how she the kid has to 'fight to save her milk from Daddy'.

With his own boobs, or did he rent a few out?

And how old were these orphans?

Cuz you just cant go around breast-feeding 12 year olds.

His own boob.
Twas a miracle of course.
I don't recall how old the orphan in question was, but I think it was a foundling.

Coincidentally, there is a little book in the local library called Britain 500AD.
It is a travelogue of stories about Britain at that time, with the narrator being a secretary of the East Roman Emperor.

He narrates the tale of the Celtic custom of noblemen symbolically breastfeeding commoners ( not slaves ), thus signifiying their protection and free status.

America, Land of the Free* (*Freedom does not include freedom from harm, freedom of expression, freedom of speech etc)

tbh I'd get some human-rights (and NO, the US STILL hasnt signed the human rights act) before complaining that theres not enough boobage in society.

But just visit any beach/sunbathing place in Europe... its a norm and accepted that women can sunbathe topless...
But saying that... reminds me of a scene from the movie 'Eurotrip'.....

Ooh, I just remembered something actually relevant. A court in Britain recently ruled that it isn't illegal to sunbathe naked in your own garden.
I'd get references but I'm too lazy; I read it in the Daily Express, so it must be true. Try news.bbc or something.

Possibly having mixed saunas being used from an early age, like in Germany, would help this.

As some people may know, sauna is originaly from Finland and you sure can notice it if you visit Finland. Breast-feeding in café is everyday thing that nobody cares about. But in USA the land is controlled by religion much more than Finland or Germany. There's the reason why one boob can cause a disaster.

i've grown up in a community where the monthly beach clean-ups we do are attended by 10 or so women 3-5 men, two teenage boys, ages 14 and 16, a 13 year old girl (me), and two 9 year old girls.

all the adults...are COMPLETELY NAKED!

*le gasp!*

and this is in the United States! California to be precise, which may have something to do with it, but whatever.

boobs aren't a big deal.

i have to agree with all the people who say that boobs are only dirty because they're kept hidden all the time. Europe has the right idea. there's nothing wrong with them.

hail to the uber low-cut shirts and nude beaches!

I do a total rubberneck to look at a well tanned six-pack. I think men's chests are terribley sexy. Much sexier than his penis, which is covered. And if what you say is true, its only because we all gawk at what we rarely get to see...good OR bad. Might be boobs...might be a trainwreck. So what?

It's clearly a cultural thing. As many people have posted, there are different standards in different countries. So there seem to be a couple of options for those of you who seem to have the most extreme feelings on this one way or the other: Actively seek to change your culture's standards at the risk of alienating your neighbours -OR- Move to another country with cultural standards that better suit your philosophies.

Just another thought though while we're all whooping about the contradictory nature of public (in)decency: What body parts are indecent? Why? (and) How much flesh is too much flesh? The questions are rhetorical as there are no right answers (though probably lots of wrong ones).

There was a time not all THAT long ago when we dressed ourselves top to toe as far as was reasonably possible (in our so-called 'civilised' nations, anyhow). Exposure of a bit of ankle or a bare arm could have been considered deeply erotic. By comparison, we casually expose vast amounts of flesh without causing a second glance. Or do we? Those of us who strip off, are we so naive not to imagine that some are being lustfully observed, some are being scorned, and yet ALL are being judged? Perhaps that's why breasts remain largely concealed? Not all lustful observation is desired, and I personally don't know any women who actively want to be judged or scorned for the mass of her mammories.

Also - in terms of the media (mainstream) - another inconsistency, but one that puts the shoe on the other foot....kinda:

Genitals. What are we permitted to see? With a guy (unless it's really cold or he's really unfortunate) if we see a frontal nude shot, one cannot escape his penis. It's there, though we're apparently not allowed to see it errect. With a gal, we see the pudenda and (where applicable) the pubic hair. We are not permitted (on the 'w'hole) to see the bit that excites us chaps: the labias, clitoris, vagina, etc. Does this point to another reason for the breasts being covered up? Are decency laws set im place to keep male urges under control?

It is generally considered that men are aroused more by visual stimulus while women are aroused more by sensual or contextual stimulus. I can't really comment on the validity of this. Pleanty of laddish women will express their excitement over a particularly hunky fella stripping down. But is that having an equivalent effect as a bunch of rowdy guys watching a beautiful women strip off?

Like it or not, there are differences between the sexes beyond the biological. We are driven differently. However much we strive for equality in society, it is short sighted to choose not to consider such a factor in legislating for issues such as these. Where people then feel oppressed in some way - as though they are having freedoms removed from them, they will often fail to accept the responsibilities that come with their freedoms. This seems to be the culture we live in - that someone else is always responsible for everything because we can't possibly face the burden of responsibility.

So if a women walked around with her charlies hanging out and she gets leered at, it will be the leery guys fault - not hers for defying common sense. So she feels justified in her upset over unwanted (though not unsolicited) reactions.

In all this, how often have we heard women complain that a guy holds a conversation with her breasts and not her face? Well, if the person who started this thread got her way and had women parading their baps on the counter, she must deal with this consequence, or choose not to excercise her new-found right.

Possibly having mixed saunas being used from an early age, like in Germany, would help this.

That said, the religious right would go mental about this, and a sauna won't be too popular in, say, Texas, I imagine.

Might be good in the northern states, though.

Yeah, I have been to resorts locally. They are like a KOA but everyone is nude. It's not a big freaking deal people, we are all human we all look the same with clothes off. Having stigmas attacked to body parts was something I never understood.

I would like to see bare chested women get the same treatment as bare chested men in this country.


Me too. Men shouldn't be allowed to go topless either! More often than not, it's just nasty.

A law that only attractive people could go topless would be ok, except that it would be unfair and hard to enforce.

And hard to just get the theoretical part, too. I mean, everyone has different ideas for what is attractive - so how are we supposed to judge that?

I know it's hard for people to understand sometimes ;)

But us Men have a hormone called testotarone, this is released when they.. well you know... and sometimes seeing boobs releases this hormone, making the situation a little... uncomortable.

So it is a possibility that... you know.... it might be a little inapropiate if you flash your breasts in public.


Meh. That's the same argument the Taliban used to force women to wear burkas and paint over the first-floor windows of their houses. "Who cares if you're getting sick from a Vitamin D deficiency, you have to cover up because men can't be expected to control themselves!!! OMGWTFBBQ!!111" :p

I'm not saying that the argument has no merit, but it would probably be easier to just say that men with that little self-control shouldn't be allowed out it public. ;)


On a side note, since 52% of the world population is female (and according to the University of California the male chromosome is slowly going extinct) imagine if all the woman got together and backed their own political party. (picture it without bias or stupid stereotype) Imagine what changes there would be in the world.

I don't think it would affect the pace of change at all. Are there any issues for which the majority of women lean one way and the majority of men lean the other? Plenty of women are anti-abortion (which is not precisly the same thing as anti-choice). One of my Aunts isn't even that excited about basic "women's issues" like equal pay for equal work, she would prefer that women didn't work outside the home at all, on the premise that if women weren't flooding the workforce then men would get paid more, which would make it much easier for women who prefer to be homemakers to do so. In order to get the participation of 100% of women their platform would have to be really bland, obvious and inoffensive, just like any other party that tries to appeal to 52% of the population. Full of statements like: Pie is good, as long as no one is forced to eat or prepare the pie against their will, and the pie is made without causing harm to others. Mmm, pie.


You know what??? WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO AROUND NEKKID IN PUBLIC!!! I'm serious! :eek:

Hmm, I don't know about that. Would you really want to sit on a chair, naked, that some other naked guy had been sitting on moments before? One day I watched an episode of The Simple Life (it was a slow TV night) where the girls worked at a nudest camp, and to deal with the problem of sitting where other naked guys have sat before everybody had to sit on a towel rather than directly on the upholstery. Maybe it's just me, but I think wearing shorts is easier than carrying around a towel.

My apartment building has a lounge with cable TV in it that everyone is allowed to use. It sounds like a good idea, to promote socializing with your neighbours and whatnot, but in practice it is a little icky. In the summer the topless guys sit in there, pressing their sweaty, greasy backs into the upholstery. It leaves stains, and I don't like it. It wouldn't bother me at the beach, but indoors it is icky.

Oh yeah, boobs are good!

Even medieval saints were in favour of boobs.
St. Nick was reputed to breastfeed orphans.

I thought the problem with boobs was obvious. After all, they are a source of nutrition that cannot be disassembled and deposited in the dishwasher, therefore entirely evil. Furthermore, it's like they're staring at you. Just plain creepy.

Of course there's the reverse argument: B(.)(.)BS are people, too! Even the saggy ones.

I have been topless in public too many times to count. It freaks my friends out and I get a laugh out of it. It's always like, "Jesus Christ! Put your shirt back on!" or "Dear God, here we go again...." LOL
Get your gear off here!;)

Breastfeeding an 8 year old is criminal, there's no biological reason for it, it's just wrong. Once teeth come in it's done.

I think breastfeeding is great, natural and healthy but.. It's really not something that needs to be done in public. It's nature and all but we are no longer animals living in the trees. We have certain things to keep in mind as civilized people. Breastfeed all you want just not as you're sipping your frapuccino at Starbucks. Or I might just start to pee on the floor next to you, that's natural and urine is sterile.

Oh yeah but I don't have a problem with ladies running around topless, just don't want to see someone sucking on them.

It's clearly a cultural thing. As many people have posted, there are different standards in different countries. So there seem to be a couple of options for those of you who seem to have the most extreme feelings on this one way or the other: Actively seek to change your culture's standards at the risk of alienating your neighbours -OR- Move to another country with cultural standards that better suit your philosophies.

Not just because of the boob thing, but because of my left-leaning in all areas political. I believe that after I have my kids grown I will relocate. I prefer the Carribean over Europe; only the middle east is out of the question. There is not much in Kansas to hold me here. I live in one of two small liberal populations in the state (which are also the most rapidly growing areas economically, which I find particularly interesting while the red areas of the state continue to decline), but once I leave town, I am surrounded by ignorance and intolerance.

Another very real reason to relocate is that by the time I am 70, social security will be a distant memory. I have no savings and my investments are few. If I don't emmigrate (move away to) a socialist leaning country, I won't survive.

So its a man's world, and that's that, eh? Women are also visually aroused, but suppose they weren't, for the sake of argument...lets move onto the other senses. Does the fact that women are aroused by the sense of touch prevent the sale of silky undies? Does the fact that women are aroused by the sense of smell prevent men from wearing cologne? Does the fact that women are aroused by romance prevent men from buying roses, diamonds, champagne or weekends away? Of course not! It makes no sense to legislate around one gender's sexuality while ignoring the other's.
