In some cultures, such as the one in which I currently happen to be living, breasts are not sexualized any もっと見る than, perhaps, a woman's back または her legs. While it's true, they would prefer it if あなた didn't 表示する them, and they are seen as a part of the female body that can be alluring to men, they don't find bare breasts - または indeed, breasts in general - to be a big deal. So missy's point about patriarchy and western culture oversexualizing breasts is a good one to note. In my current country of residence, women breast feed in public on occasion, and quite often at ホーム in front of guests (I've seen my fair share of local women's breasts because of this). They figure, adults and children eat together, and when they are finished, it's time for the baby to 登録する in. It's just how they live here. For locals here, a woman baring her breast is as scandalous as a woman baring her back in the United States - perhaps it might create some fanning of the face, but overall, it's no big deal. For this reason, I believe that society's reaction to breasts - and indeed, society's reaction to most things - is generally a cultural construct. In this case, as missy points out, it stems from the West's patriarchal conservative history. Women have breasts and men don't, they are a dimorphic sex difference (but not, as whiteflame suggests, an actual sex organ. Hate to call semantics on you, whiteflame, but breasts are secondary sexual characteristics, not primary characteristics. A woman's breasts are not directly involved in the process of reproduction any もっと見る than her lips are.) and because of this, it's another sign of how women are different. I don't know the psych theory on this, but I would conjecture that this is one of the underlying causes of our need to cover women's breasts, among other things, in our culture. Especially as many African cultures are matriarchal (or at least, were at one time, before colonization/invasion) and it's the African cultures that seem to have no problem with bare-breasted women. So in response to the 質問 posed, I would say personally, don't have a problem with bare-breasted women - and this is coming from a bisexual who is aroused によって both sexes. However, laws are a reflection of the culture in which they govern, and until the culture change the laws won't change. I believe breast-feeding should be legal, but general toplessness in public outside of places like nudist clubs, spas, beaches, etc, should remain illegal, until the 閲覧数 are changed. This is, of course, in the United States. In some nations,toplessnes for women in public isn't illegal (though is generally not encouraged), and in others, toplessness for either sex in public is illegal.
