fun horror pic but PLEASE lady put your boobs away!

Also the movie is rated R, so you could have expected nudity in some way, don't you think?

If children grow up thinking they should model their work attire on a horror movie wardrobe, there are going to be much more important problems to worry about besides the person showing some cleavage at the workplace.

Oh. My. God.

First, this is an "R-rated" movie.

I sure hope that, by the time these children reach seventeen, they will have been properly educated by their parents and other caretakers in their lives to make the difference between fantasy and reality.

Not to mention that seeing breasts in an absolutely non-sexual context is absolutely not harmful to a child's development. Many cities, like Ottawa, allow women to go topless in public in any place where men are authorized to do the same. And those are public spaces where the presence of children isn't restricted, either.

As a woman, I would not personally feel comfortable doing so, because we live in a society where breasts have been, sadly, highly sexualized (and I know that going topless would likely attract catcalls, and even harsh criticism from fellow women who have internalized the message that "showing breasts = not respecting yourself").

But it is my strong belief that, if I had been raised in a society where a man and a woman's breasts were treated with the same amount of respect and overall indifference, I'd be 100% comfortable walking around topless just as men do.

The most likely people to be offended at the sight of breasts aren't children, but adults who have come to associate those with sexual attributes when there's absolutely nothing inherently sexual or perverted about breasts. Their primary purpose is to feed babies, nothing more. I can't see what's remotely traumatizing about the sight of them.

Discussing people's general preferences and comfort level for what they believe to be an appropriate work attire is one thing. But considering that showing a form fitting or revealing outfit on a professional woman in an R-RATED MOVIE could negatively affect a CHILD'S MIND - especially if that woman wasn't wearing the outfit in a sexual context?! Really?!

I mean, I just saw a poor young woman dying in one of the most graphic, disturbing, violent and horrific deaths I could think of in this movie!

Between watching a woman's jaw being torn open, and seeing her agonize as her blood gushes and splashes everywhere, and seeing a little bit of cleavage or wet clothes sticking to a woman's body; I think the most potentially psychologically damaging scene of the two for any child's development would be quite obvious!

Grant it, I'm a nurse clinician, not a psychology teacher. I did study children development as part of my curriculum, but probably not in the same depth as you.

And maybe what we are taught here in Canada in those classes isn't the same thing as in the USA. Because all I know is that, over here, there's a lot more concern going on about children becoming desensitized to graphic violence and gore in movies, TV series, and videogames; v.s. kids being exposed to a bit of non-sexual nudity.

Children being exposed to actual pornography before the appropriate age would also count as a serious issue, as it gives them unrealistic and often unhealthy expectations regarding what sexual intercourse truly is like.

But if the more shocking and troubling component of a highly violent and gory movie, for you, is the fact that a doctor/coroner wore an outfit that could be considered for some a little too revealing for work (again, this is a matter of opinion)...

I really don't know what to tell you here.

As a nurse, I've known female doctors who wore form-fitting outfits with a bit of cleavage under their white overalls. And newsflash! Those women were well respected, and taken 100% seriously for their professional skills and their brains!

So yes, I too care for what children are shown and how it can influence their psychological development.

I too might ask myself if the goal of dressing a professional woman in a sexy outfit truly would have to do with the woman's own personal preference in terms of what she enjoys wearing, or some underlying sexism in Hollywood where attractive women must have their body on display.

But sincerely, that woman's outfit is likely the least traumatizing element of that R-rated movie. It won't haunt my dreams, and I'd bet anything that if any child accidentally stumbled across that movie and watched it, that's the very last thing they'd notice.
