What annoys me is that they show only one kind of breasts (huge, can-poke-you-in-the-eye kind of breast). They forget that they come in different sizes and shapes!!!
So would I BUT..minrice said:I would rather look at a beautiful, naked woman than a man any day.
minrice said:The female form is truly beautiful.
exactly... women are decorative men are usefulThe crowned one said:Its just that our naughty bits hang on the outside and look ridiculously out of place when not in use.
firemaiden said:...just shooting off at the mouth again... but I (influenced by my years in France) think sexism is wonderful... the kind of sexism that recognises that men and women are different is delightful. It is a privelege and a pleasure to be a sex object if I SO CHOOSE. The worst thing is a sexless society. How terrible to get dressed all beautiful and go out, as a woman in our sober American cities and be COMPLETELY IGNORED. How I miss Paris..
As I might have said before, naked female breasts (even nipples) aren't that much of an issue in Europe (well, I mostly talk about Germany, since that's where I live). When I first discovered there are products to stick over nipples to keep them from accidentally showing under tight clothing, I was shocked-amused. I mean, usually European women don't show their nipples on purpose (outside of erotic situations), but I've never heard of it being an issue over here like the Janet Jackson incident has been. It just happens. They are part of our bodies and react to cold just as male nipples do. It just shows more, because of tighter clothing/different attention to female breasts. *shrug*Shade said:I remember a nation freaking out when Janet Jackson had her wardrobe malfunction at the Superbowl and certain parents in this country acted like their children had been forced to watch a snuff film. They are breasts, they are normal, but we see them as slightly taboo. Think of all the different devices that are marketed for women to have privacy while breast feeding.
They did? Wow, I only ever met people who absolutely loved them. Might be cultural differences once again. Or maybe my circle of frineds and acquaintances is not very representative.Shade said:As to "real" bodies. I am reminded of the Dove "Real Beauty" soap campaign in which we saw people who did not have perfect bodies - most of them would be described as overweight - in just their undies selling soap. People HATED these ads.

People were very upset by this particular campaign and didn't knwo how to react to the types of bodies they were not used to seeing in the media.
