Did u know breasts are a "commodity?"

Did you know that the tens of thousands of women across the country who are making a living by showing their breasts at topless bars, ones found in nearly every community in the country, are selling their breasts as a commodity??

Whaaaaat? How DARE they!? They should be stopped!!

No...truth is, they are taking advantage of the fact that so many stupid@#$ men are willing to part with their money just to look at something that's "taboo." And I absolutely, wholeheartedly, applaud them for the ability to do so!

The reason there are so few, next to nil actually, clubs where WOMEN can go see MEN topless is because: a) You CAN go to any beach, many outdoor events, or just about anywhere and see "topless men" b) Women, for the most part, DON'T go to those type clubs to see something "taboo" c) When they DO go, which again is rare, hence so few exist, they almost ALWAYS go in a group, as a lark or a special occasion like a bachelorette party, finally d) [and this is absolute proven fact from study after study after study] Women, generally speaking, do NOT become aroused simply by visuals like men. (Oh yeah, and they certainly don't hand over money JUST to look at a man's chest. Men pretty much have a corner on that brain-dead move.)

No, they're not selling a "commodity," and most, not all of course, but most of the so-called feminists wanting "equality" hate on the women who actually enjoy, even cherish, the fact that their "girls" ARE taboo, sexually speaking that is. They love the fact that they hold that power over men. And they should! It's the same with anything over the eons that were held socially taboo.
"One wants to see what one isn't supposed to." ...well, with men, that is. You'd be hard-pressed to find a single example ANY time in history where WOMEN wanted to see something men kept out of sight. (Except their wallet that is!! LOL )

But seriously, women don't look at men that way (again, generally speaking.) Which, I think may be why these feminists (whom so, so many over the years haven't been, well, exactly recipient to the opposite gender's attention. (Oh Gawd!! I can hear it now! Anti-Gay!! ) No, that has NOTHING to do with it. I am in NO way, shape or form "Anti-Gay." To be honest, I have dated several women who were bi, and was even married to a wonderful, gorgeous, woman who also happened to enjoy other women. There has not been one single one who wasn't thrilled at having the power over men they did from just one single flash, or the promise of, of something taboo.

Now, do NOT confuse this with the mother feeding her child. That does NOT have the sexual undertones as the thought of "what's underneath that low-cut top." Do some men get aroused by it? Well, yes. Just as some get aroused from a woman's shoe (weird, but there's all types out there.)
But I seriously doubt, in today's much more forward, evolved society, even here in the US, that ANY normal person, male or female, will equate a woman breast-feeding to a sexually arousing and socially taboo act. (Of course, leave out the pubescent teenage boy! They'll get excited by a Nat Geo article! And nothing will change that!)

Nor do I think any law enforcement agency would risk the backlash, from the entire nation, over arresting a woman breast-feeding her child.

A N Y W A Y . . . .The whole point is that MOST women do NOT want a few radically left-wing women (and men desperate to to be thought of as politically-correct) telling them to show their "girls" in order to be equal to men.
Most don't WANT to be "equal" to men in that regard. They relish the fact that they are far SUPERIOR to us (...cavemen!!) and no one is to blame but us (men) on that! (Well, and nature...)

Face it... when it comes to sexual arousal, attracting the opposite sex, etc etc etc... females nearly always have the upper hand. Not just humans, but it's that way throughout the animal kingdom. Period. Fact. And most women do NOT want some feminist taking that from them. Just like 90% of the posts from women on this subject say the exact same thing.

One other point... Why do you suppose this is, that the many, many places all across the US where topless IS legal, that the absolute majority of women do NOT go topless? Miami Beach for instance... topless is completely legal, but you don't see every women walking around topless. Matter-a-fact, other than a few, very discrete, women tanning, you'd never know.

It's because most women simply do not agree with this tiny minority of ______ . (Fill in the blank in your own words, and all will know right where you stand)

Ugh, certainly there have been cases.. Oh and btw.,

I'd have to read that whole thing again, because (lolz) I didn't get what we're supposed to fill in; suppose I'll get to it. =)

Thankx,but you'll have to point it out. I'm still overlooking it :(

Ugh, certainly there have been cases.

Yes, there certainly have been, but as I said, I truly believe the nation has, as a whole, progressed beyond that way of thinking. I can't imagine something like persecuting a woman for breast feeding would escape the national media, not w/out tremendous backlash.

It's because most women simply do not agree with this tiny minority of ______ .

Basically, it's so everyone can call them what they choose to, this small minority of people that are making a huge deal out of a non-issue. It wasn't intended as a request for a reply.
While there are REAL problems and issues that truly scream for attention, there will always be people who, desiring nothing more than attention, protest and make noise , claiming they speak for everyone, tho it cannot be further from the truth.

Do I think women should be jailed for exposing their breasts? No, of course not. But they're are socially acceptable 'norms' that are, gradually, changing, but the greatest majority of women do not agree with this tiny radical group who are clearly just after attention. There are places, all over the country, where a woman going topless IS legal, yet even there it is rarely seen, and it CERTAINLY isn't made out to be this great big issue.

You are pretty much correct on ALL points. The only point you may have overlooked is that the women just want the CHOICE. That's my guess. What if guys wanted to run around with their junk hanging out....it's the same logic. The reason doesn't matter...it's the fact that they want to run around topless and can't. There is a certain freedom as a guy to be able to run around topless and although it's not sexual. It's having the choice to be or not to be....

It's pretty easy to just imagine this movie reversed. If guys couldn't be topless....they would want to be. I have not been topless in public in a very, very long time but the fact that if I did...it would be fine is enough.

So.... here's the MAIN thing nearly everyone seems to be overlooking....
The underlying fact, absolutely and unequivocally proven fact, is that men become sexually aroused by visual stimulation. It's hardwired in the brain, and there is no amount of laws, protests, "politically incorrect" speeches, complaints, etc etc, will change that.

What if guys wanted to run around with their junk hanging out

There's NO comparison there... (That's actually a HORRID thought! And rightfully illegal!) But there IS places where men, & women, can walk around with their "junk" all hanging out, so if ANY one feels the need or desire, it's perfectly legal.
As far as being topless, women that is, there are places all over that it's perfectly legal & acceptable. The fact is, most don't.
Why is it, then, that it's NOT legal everywhere?
Most likely because of the point I just made above.... no matter HOW much everyone would LIKE to be treated equally concerning this, the simple fact is that it would be far far too difficult to protect every woman that chose to exercise that right everywhere and anywhere they wanted, rather than the designated areas that exist now, (and are increasing.)
Do you leave you car unlocked with the windows down and keys in the ignition? Of course not! One can argue that it's illegal for someone to steal your car, therefore you have every right to leave your keys in the ignition, (which you do have) so the police should allow and protect that right, yes?
There isn't THAT much law enforcement to protect everyone doing that. So we use common sense. And common sense says "...don't tempt the criminals"
However, if you are so determined to exercise your right to leave your keys in your car, well, there are places where you CAN safely do that, like at valet parking, etc.
Wouldn't you agree that, while it SHOULD be legal for women to walk around topless at the same places men can, it's actually a good thing, for everyone, that it's not.... because it's practically impossible for law enforcement to protect anyone, everywhere, that exercised that right. Because like itor not, someone would chance upon them and allow his baser primitive instincts take over where it might not have otherwise.... no different than someone hopping in your car and taking off because they chanced upon it with keys in the ignition, and had they not been, your car wouldn't haven gotten a second glance.

A real man is more interested in kissing her clit and pleasing her before his pleasure !

I think many people are aware the breasts are sexualized. Maybe some of the people do want the attention, but many people also want the freedom as well as breasts to be non sexualized. Its not our fault that society has chosen to make breasts a desirable attribute to the human body. Actually women in general are sexualized. Any minority thats accepted is usually at first sexualized. The fact that theres black, asian, and latino fetishes goes along the same lines as women being fetishized because even white women throughout hstory have been considered one peg lower than men.

Women can do it because there are so many other people restricting women from showing their breasts for free.
