I think I'm glad I've been so out of touch. I completely missed this particular bit of ridiculousness.<BR/><BR/>I was astonished, as a teenager, traipsing around Greece, that women thought nothing of going topless. One woman put it perfectly:<BR/><BR/>"Here, your boobs are like your ears."<BR/><BR/>But I still got a vicious sunburn on my back that day. Because I too, was programmed from birth.

Ugh. I cringed at the part where you were fine with the violence but felt horrified at the bare breast in front of your kids... I need to re-evaluate as well.

Yeah. Let's all go topless. Glad I live in a warm clime!<BR/><BR/>I breastfed too. One of the greatest things in my life. I nver did it in a restaurant. I went outside or to another room, but I did do it on an airplane sitting in the front rows that face each other surrounded by 5 men.Now I was discreet and coverd up, but we were having a conversation when the baby got hungry and I had to pop him

I don't think I can ever eat in an Applebees again. <BR/><BR/>The boob thing bothers me b/c it seems so ridiculous. Just let the babies eat and leave the poor mamas alone!

I completely agree...and yet, it's me, bra on even in the throes of, well, you know.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to blame this on those damn magazines with photoshopped perfection.<BR/><BR/>Boob immersion. I'm pretty sure you could win the next presidential election with that platform.

Of course, ridiculously stupid coming from a man who practically lives at the Pl*yboy mansion... Breasts used for feeding? Does that really seem icky? Honestly.

Genius! Really.<BR/><BR/>I have to wonder, how much of what Bill Maher said was his true feelings and how much was intended as incendiary, publicity-enhancing, stirring of the pot?<BR/><BR/>He's a moron. Here's to topless beaches.

I thought his piece was funny. I also think that if I want to breastfeed, tough shit on those around me. Breastfeeding is a personal choice. I choose to breast feed my son and I choose to be discreet about it. That was my choice. If others are uncomfortable then they should look away and mind their own business.

I live in the UK and we do not get Bill Maher here. I use to watch his show "Politically Incorrect" many years ago. But had not seen him for a long time...<BR/><BR/>I looked on youtube to find a clip of his "New Rules" for Sept. 14th when he said he did not want to see our tits. I hardly got through his monologue without shouting at my monitor, "You are such a fucking idiot." His humor is obvious

The ankle analogy is a good one. It is a fact that certain men (and women) feel uncomfortable when they see a woman nursing her baby in a public place. The question is what we're supposed to do about that. Whose problem is that discomfort? <BR/><BR/>In certain parts of the world today, men feel uncomfortable if women publicly display any parts of their body, including their faces. If we

As you were talking about demystifying the boob, I couldn't help thinking about how violence and even the language on the TV has changed.

...and the congregation shouted a hearty "AMEN"! <BR/><BR/>I can't imagine the silliness that surrounds boobs, either. How they are constantly put into the giggle-behind-the-hand object of locker room fascination is beyond me. <BR/><BR/>They're body parts with the specific function. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Peace, <BR/><BR/>~Chani<BR/>http://thailandgal.blogspot.com

Your last couple of paragraphs cracked me up, but I take the rest of the post is very seriously. I like your take on it, demystify the boobs and people won't be so uptight about seeing them in all their glory. Fantastic!
