Insulting Breasts?

1/20/2015

10 Comments

 
I was recently at a restaurant with a great friend of mine, enjoying everyday topics and making small talk just about anything under the sun. As we sat there and the hours passed, a couple of women, maybe middle aged, walked in and took a table not far from ours.
We continued our conversation, sometimes louder trying to make ourselves understood over the gigantic screen, playing the last NLF game at a loud volume. Then, you know, there's that 5 minute low in every conversation. It was then when we could overhear the two ladies discussing the topic of breastfeeding in public.

Needles to say, that topic caught my attention. I was intrigued as to where did these two women stood on the subject.

I live in a very conservative part of the country and I'm not really used to ear that topic, being discussed in that much open forum.

One  of the women was clearly agitated that "these women" as she put it, had the Gaul to exposed themselves in public. She was mortified by the thought of any part of herself being exposed under any circumstances. The other lady, seemed more pragmatic about the issue. She said that when she breastfed for the first time, she too, was embarrassed and very self conscious about it. Then when her second child came, she was more open when breast feeding in front of other members of her family, Now that she was on her third child, she said that she's no longer concern about who's around. That her child is her priority and when she's hungry she will feed her on the spot.

My friend and I had a second discussion about the same topic. Echoing pretty much the 2nd lady's sentiments.

The first lady was clearly  annoyed that her friend could be so casual about what she considered to be a very, very private affair. And she also expressed that if her son was hungry, she would give him a small bottle and let him wait until a more appropriate location was found.
Somehow that conversation expanded to all breasts in general. Apparently, our lady number one, was clearly against any breast, any nipple or a hint of a cleavage being exposed for the benefit of any "perv" as she stated.
"The mere sight of a mother flipping a boob out offends me" she said.

There's that word "Offend". I believe that people will go out of their way to get "offended". You will hear me say that over again and cringe about the particulars.

The second woman pretty much stood by her opinion and tried to move the conversation to a different topic; but woman number one was already too invested in her position and wanted to be clearly understood. Their meal ended and they left.

As my friend and I sat there, contemplating their conversation I began to ask some questions of myself.

Why are boobs, so insulting to some people? Women no less.

In these days of social "enlightenment" and forced upon politically correct ideas, why haven't we, all, embraced our humanity?
Why can't we be ourselves and find the beauty that we are?

Why does the mere sight of a beautiful boob, stir so much fuzz and negative response within some of us?

I was surprised at the attitude of the first woman. She claim that she was not a conservative and couldn't understand why her friend who apparently was a conservative would do such a thing. The second lady simply said that because she had conservative ideals, she view the whole breastfeeding issue as a normal, natural and proper thing to do.

I think it has nothing to do with being a conservative or not. I believe it has to do with mental well being. A person who enjoys life, has respect for others but also has a great respect for her/him self will view a natural event and cherish it.
I believe that being ashamed of what has been given to us, is a powerful tool of ignorance and bigotry.

Why should we continued to be offended about an exposed tit, when murders, Jihads, intolerance and random acts of horror and human degradation abound?
Why should we be mortified and put out, that a child is having his meal or that so and so, dared to show her assets, when on the other side of the planet children are starving to death and some women are being tortured and killed just for being women?

Respect and appreciation YES. Fear and ignorance NO!

I think that it has to do with fear of the unknown and maybe safety for some women. But I also think that we need to change and accept who we are and start liking ourselves!

I think people aren't comfortable with some situations that may put them in danger. Specially in some cities or towns where the law and the other locals may make you feel uncomfortable. Hopefully that's starting to change.

Breasts are to feed our kids and to arouse our men!
No shame or shock should be attached to them. It is NATURE!!

I get frustrated with individuals who make much more than it should about our boobs. They have a purpose, they are beautiful and they are part of 50% of the population.

I'm fairly tired and done with anyone who is insulted with my body parts.

I'm a woman and I have boobs. They may not be the most beautiful ones but I like them. They also get hot and sweaty in Summer time and I want to be able to be topless where any man is allowed to do so.

I'm glad to see that places like New York, Toronto and other cities are allowing -legaly- the display of breasts in public.
I believe that there should be moratoriums in all communities with this topic. I know, that it is not an earthshaking topic like crime, cancer, schooling or politics; but it should be left to the citizens to choose for themselves.

How can breasts be insulting to anyone?! Only to those who are zealots, insecure, judgmental, ignorant and oppressive. That's who!

This summer ladies,pop them out and educate the idiots.

I live in MD. Every year we go to New York to visit friends in the city. For the last 3 years we have been patronizing central park and a few others around the city. We usually hang out with several friends who exercise their right as females, citizens and humans to enjoy the sun and the breeze on our bear breasts.

In all of this time, only in 4 occasions we have felt harassed and bothered.
But, it is great to see that the sight of a woman with her breasts exposed is no longer an scandalous, shameful and cause to shut the town down! Gad, even jail time!
But it takes women to open their minds to demand and exercise their rights, our rights.

I wish that more and more States will see the light!

Frankly, I'm fed-up with ignorant people!!

Breasts are wonderful in every single sense of the world. They are a perfect creation of sexual and life giving purpose!

I do wish that people would recognize that a woman's breasts are not evil, nor a reason to call 9-11 over, nor a reason to have a stroke over it.
They are what they are. They serve a reason for being there. I love mine and I'm proud of them. They aren't the biggest or the most perfect but, they are part of who I am.

I also wish that my fellow sisters, would drop the shame and stigma that is attached to breasts. I think that we are our own worst enemy.

I set them free as often and I can.

Ciao!

My god, what century is this??

How is it possible that in this decade, people still think that tits are bad or indecent?? That pisses me off

Our society is so phony. I can't stand it!!!!!!!!!
We watch the Kardashians and every other tart on tv, flaunting everything everywhere and people (and yes, even women) follows that travesty on a weekly basis. No problem.
But the second a normal, boob is exposed in public they run for the hills and demand emergency action from their local authorities. Bullshit!

I'm fed up with obnoxious, self serving, self righteous, men and WOMEN who hate themselves by hating something that is natural. That infuriates me greatly.

You go look and enjoy every single boob that there is. Life is more precious that the time we have on this rock.

Backwards people... please go back to the 12th century and stay there!

Breasts insulting?! I don't know anyone who thinks that way; but then again, I like in New York.
In New York, the law pretty much allows women to be topfree anywhere where a man can.

I supposed that there are vast areas of this country where, breasts are still demonized and frown upon. Sad.
