On the weekend, I went shopping with my daughter who wore a very fitted light colored mock neck with no bra. I wore a looser fitting cable knit sweater, also without my bra. I couldnt help but to notice that as we walked through the mall, men would ogle my breasts, and not hers at all. IN as much as I was pleased that perverted men didnt look at her, I thought "how odd I thought...my daughter is 16 and obviously much perkier than I am (especially after 3 kids and being in my late 30s)". I wasn't sure how to take that at first.
Well, in hindsight, I have concluded that it's not the breast that is the "sexual object", but rather it's the nipple that is.
My daughter (lucky her) has nipples which are flat, and hense do not show, while mine are prominent and therefore do show through tops (and bras no less). I bet that is what it really is, the nipple, and not the breast itself that causes men to ogle, and corporations to write bra manditory laws in the workforce.
Question to you all...is is the breast, the bralessness itself, cleavage, or the nipple that is the reason why bralessness is often frowned upon?
I vote nipple!
Interesting. Why do you think nipples have this power?
