 Blame it on our upbringing. Too much breast feeding,
or not enough, but regular readers of the Dowbrigade may have noted
a certain fixation with the human breast.
In particular, we are deeply distressed by the discrepency
in public acceptance of the bared female vs. male breasts. Why does
our culture tolerate, even celebrate the bared masculine chest, yet
turn it’s head in shame and horror at the much more graceful and fuctional
female version.
We have written that it smacks
of sexism. We have
traced the taboo to the tenets of the Elders
of Zion. We have
speculated that it is evidence of the not-so-hidden
agenda of the Gay
Liberation Movement. We enthusiastically envisioned bare breast beaches,
topless Fridays and bare-breasted equality in women’s sports like beach
volleyball,
platform diving and martial arts.
But all the time we imagined we were
campaigning for the liberation of
women’s
breasts.
Recent news reports,
however, have convinced us that in these fundamentalist times we
will be lucky to resist the increasing stigma and prudishness attached
to
the display of the MALE chest. The great cover-up has started…..
London – Men may be barred from baring their chests
– and stomachs – in public under new local laws being considered by
town
halls.
They would stop men stripping off their shirts in crowded town centres
and give powers to police to remove any who defy the cover-up laws.
The proposal has been inspired by the least attractive side effect
of the heatwave – the tendency of a number of often middle-aged men
to go about in nothing more than shorts and trainers.
from the Daily Mail
 On
a related note, the same publication has made a powerful visual argument
with this
slide show of geriatric male flesh. Perhaps
we could put an age limit on degree of public nakedness. Maybe we could
say a person is allowed to bare a percentage of their flesh equal to
their age – babies could go completely naked, centinarians must be completely
covered at all times. Or perhaps we could have yearly body inspections,
like for automobiles, to check on the current condition of breasts,
thighs and chins. A tough job, but someone might have to do it. Looking
at these pictures, there oughtta be a law…..

I feel that as a Women, I should be allowed to feed my child anytime and at any place, without issue, as nature intended.
Thank you for that article.

well because they are often have connotations of sex
and of course the goverment and most religions are shit-scared of sex
meanwhile male chests have nothing sexual (in most cases) connected with them no-one cares
anyway I personally would love to see more females wearing no tops
in fact, why not nothing at all

Hmmm…Was that a sexist remark I detected? lol

Yes, I believe that the woman pictured above should have a breast augmentation procedure done but that ultimately would be her choice.
Steph: I think that women should be allowed to feed their child in public but please have respect for others. Some may get offended by it.

As a society, we do seem to appreciate the female form though we do seem less open about it here in the US, than let’s say in Europe. Ultimately though, I think everyone would agree that there is an innate beauty in the functionality and physique of the female breast which explains why breast augmentation remains the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure.

Cosmetic surgery is needed for her.

I think everyone in Europe would agree that breasts are beautiful and have always had a nurturing yet sexually aluring power to them, which is also why breast augmentation has become the epic cosmetic surgery and now thank goodness, widely accepted in society. For women who may have had under developed breasts or age has affected them, its nice that breasts have found their presence and power in society again.

Does anyone know if breast reduction pills actually work? I’m really thinking about giving this a try before doing surgery.

She really needs a breast reduction.

These will cause her great distress if she does not have a reduction. The second pic was disturbing.

The second pic haha – he is at an age where he just no longer cares! – Brilliant

“Maybe we could

Hahah that was pure genius!
