Thursday, July 27, 2006 Oh gimme a frickin' break!  I'm so tired of this hypocritical squeamishness about breasts. We've gotten to the point where we can't see a chest orb without thinking in sexual terms, even when it is a pic as sweet as that to the left.Folks, yes breasts have been sexualized to the point of inanity (make that insanity), but some folks can't seem to reconcile this artificial sexualization with the fact that breasts are and have been from the beginning of time a natural feeding source for babies; that is their primary function (and I'm not taking a stance on the breast-feeding debate, doesn't concern me; my pair are merely decorative and non-functional). So why all this outrage? Why are a quarter of breast-feeding women who read "Baby Talk" up in arms about this pic being "inappropriate?" OK, ladies, if you see this as some sort of "turn-on," it's in your perverted minds. One reader, a Gayle Ash of Belton, TX, who is a mother of a 13-year-old boy said: "I shredded it...a breast is a breast -- it's a sexual thing. He didn't need to see that." This is why this "controversy" is so perverse. Throughout his life, this same 13-year-old boy will probably see breasts in numerous men's magazines that objectify women and diminish them to nothing but their body parts. Mrs. Ash of Belton, TX missed a golden opportunity to discuss something so natural and pure with her son and as he grows older he will probably see breasts as nothing more than sexual play toys. Hopefully, if he gets married and his wife breastfeeds their child, he will then be able to see the act as pure as it is depicted on this cover. Per MSNBC News.
