This is actually one of the more amusingly arbitrary parts of it. Did you ever see "Memoirs of a Geisha"? The geishas would wear their kimonos low in the back and would leave the back of the neck unpainted in specific designs. It was their equivalent of cleavage, and was normally just as taboo to discuss as breasts are here. That's not just a product of the book/movie, that's how Japan really was.
Yes I understand..Like those women in one country that start putting rings around their necks when they are born and end up with extremely (what apears to be) long necks like a grirraffe.Its considered sexy though and I believe a status cymbal not taboo..
I wouldnt have had a problem(well not the same problem anyway) if this man had simply said he thought her discussing her breast was not appropriate for the company she was in..But he didnt even think that..His problem was she went "too far" by including her cup size.That she could have left that part out.Then HE went on to give his height ,weight,chest measurment,and waiste(and a description of being very muscular(no fat)..In order to try and relate to her that women 'notice him' too because of his broad chest ...and even make comments..He was actually trying to sympathise with her as far as her feeling uncomfortable at times that men will "talk to her chest" even though she tries to downplay her breast and dress modestly.
Well I was like hey wait a minute..You admonished her for giving specifics (basic cup size) info to give people an idea why she was thinking of a reduction..then YOU go on to describe in even more detail your manly build and how women lust over you.How is it o.k for you and not for her..
Here is my problem..He said because her breast were part of her "genitalia" and his was not.And her describing her breast size was the equivelant of a man coming on there and talking about how large his penis is in detail.
I found it even more interesting that even by his own admission women looked at his physique in a "lusitng " manner (specifically his upper body)but yet only considered the womans breast as a "sexual organ"..
I told him it was a clear double standard and that her breast were no more "genitalia" then his chest.And that the real "equivelant' of a mans penis on a womans body would be her vagina(labia,clitoris,vaginal canal the whole kit and kaboodle) NOT her breast.
Because in fact the PRIMARY function for a womans breast is not for sex.And Im NOT saying they arent "sexual" or its not a symbol of feminitity or that men (and some women..LOL) like to play with them and become aroused at the site of them and that women do not recieve any sexual pleasure from them being stimulated.
You can also speed up a womans labor by stimulating her nipples.But I would never then say that her breast were the equivelant of her uterus or her vagina because they can be a part of /used in the aid of labor and delivery.
