Comment on Femality is stored in the nipples

  While I agree, there is a connotation in many western countries to consider. You will be perceived as a thrill seeker, mentally ill, hippy, or something else in that vein because of religious customs dictating that arousal is sinful. Changing perceptions would be a generational effort and, at least in the US, things are swinging more conservative rather than less.

  But, in some parts of Europe, toplessness is accepted on both sides of the aisle, so the world isn’t wholly broken. Asia has smatterings of the same. I support egalitarianism wholly, and it’s deeply frustrating that the human body is, mostly, stigmatized through crystalized, cancerous religious repression

    Were women to be topless, they would be perceived as a thrill seeker, mentally ill, hippy, or something else in that vein because of religious customs dictating that arousal of your self, or even others is sinful.

    This is more of an argument to go topless than anything else.

    FREE THE TITTIES!

      In abstract? Absolutely. All I’m going to say to this is to choose where you expend the effort wisely and spread the idea safely.

        The only states in the US that have statewide bans on female toplessness is Indiana, Tennessee, and Utah.

        The majority of states in the US explicitly allow femme people to go topless because masculine people are allowed to go topless.

        Only when society ascribes sexuality to things that are inherently not sexual.

    While you are correct that the US is more conservative, we do have nude beaches.

    thrill seeker, mentally ill, hippy, or something else You call men like that “perverts” or “sex pests”. Women can be those things too.

      I mean, I guess? But going topless really shouldn’t qualify for that. Everyone can be gross. I’m disputing what it is that should be perceived that way. Nudity should be more broadly acceptable.

    I’ve gotten my tits out in front of a cop in a red state in fhe US. Yeah people think things and it does correlate with counterculture, but fucking hell sometimes it’s too hot for a shirt

      Physical needs>>>>social decorum. Always. I just wish it didn’t even need to be qualified that way.

        Ok but other days it’s just pretty hot and a breeze against my tits would be nice, and sometimes I’ve indulged that desire. In the same place. It’s legal so why not. And yeah mostly people are doing that at left wing summer festivals, but that’s ok, it worked to normalize it within those groups

  We need to flip the script and make men’s nipples inherently sexual. They don’t even dispense milk (this is a lie but most people don’t know that) they’re just an erogenous zone.

  I saw a boob once as a child and I still go to therapy three times a month.

  To be clear though, it has nothing to do with me seeing that boob, that would be ridiculous. If society thinks people need to be protected from boobs, it’s society that needs therapy.

  I think men should cover their chests too.

    I’d rather give people the choice than to police their bodies.

  I agree with the first. I think evolution would disagree with the second. The main purpose for partial display (aka cleavage) is enticement for attracting potential mates.

    The main purpose of mammary glands is feeding offspring.

      I dived in a bit, and I will concede that sexual use is not the main reason, since they evolved from primates and previous species in order to produce milk. But all other species don't have them constantly enlarged. Studies show that there are many factors at play, such as providing more area of touch for the human infant and perhaps a more constant source of food since human infants take longer to mature. But they did develop the use for sexual signalling too when we became upright, if for nothing else than for showing sexual maturity. The human brain has probably evolved along with those changes to select which characteristics evolved more pronounced.

      So they have multiple uses. The very fact that they are a subconscious trigger for the male has to mean something.

        Yep, they can be sexual but are not inherently sexual.

        It’s not just men that are turned on by boobs.
