Quote:"There are three reasons for this. First, there is a security aspect, then there is a hygiene issue and finally there is what we call 'prevailing manners and customs'. It is above all this last point which is important here," she added.
With this one statement, this person has called womens breasts dirty, embarassing, and sex provoking.
How sad is that.
The only reason people dont like to see a breast is because it makes them think sex. And in alot of puritan based societies, people are taught to not think about sex, not feel anything about sex, and that it is only something people do in private with thier husband/wife and no more. They are taught that being a sexual being, which includes random thoughts of sex through out the day, is wrong, dirty, and whorish. And those that make you feel sex are bad.
When they see skin and think sex, it makes them uncomfortable. Instead of being an adult and owning that discomfort, they try to pass it on to the person who is showing the skin calling them " hussies, sluts, dirty, sloppy, whores, tramps.." all the while screaming " WHAT ABOUT THE KIDS! COVER YOURSELF SO THE KIDS DONT SEE"
as if nudity kills.
And what is this "sanitation " reason?
Bare breasts make the water dirty? Bare skin makes the water dirty?
Uhhh hellooooo miss pool owner, ALL SKIN GETS WET IN THE WATER, no matter what you are wearing. Kids and some adults PEE IN THE WATER.....
Sanitation is NOT a valid reason. But it sure speaks volumes about how people think about and look at breasts. ( dirty, unsantiary??)
And I do not buy the statement of ' it keeps women safe'
The only thing that keeps women safe is to rid the world of men and that is ridicilous as well. Male rapists will rape no matter what she is wearing. And what she is wearing is not responsible for that brutal behavior.
Women are not delicate things that need rules and societies upturned nose to protect. Bare skin is bare skin. So what.
It doesnt harm a child to see a nude person. And older age child may have a sexual thought about a nude person. Oh dear lord, the earth will come to an end if that is happening
Heaven forbid a sexual being experience sexual thoughts. Jeezee..
I would expect this kind of article from America, honestly. Not Swedin
