October 18, 2008 One of my wife’s friends recently gave birth and, as we were visiting the family at their house, the baby decided it was time for dinner. Now, this woman was very attractive and well-endowed, even before becoming pregnant, which may have led to some wandering eyes by anyone in the room once-in-a-while. In any other setting at any other time it would be inappropriate for me to even think about her breasts. Not that it has happened, but I would most likely get an elbow to the ribs from my wife for even an accidental glance. But now, all of a sudden, it’s okay with everybody that I see her ample bare breast? With another person sucking on it? Luckily, this wasn’t a problem. We had been looking at some photos and video from the birth and I had expressed how...graphic...things were becoming. Apparently, she had no reservations about her friends seeing her naked and screaming in pain. I didn’t know if I should be more worried about seeing more blood and guts than an episode of CSI or the pointy little elbow about to skewer me in the side. Either way, my view of my wife’s friend was about to change. I displayed my awkward squeamishness by playing with the dog instead of watching. She picked up on this and when feeding-time came along, without anyone asking, she covered up. Out of respect for me she covered her child feeding on her nudity in her own home. I wish more people were like this in public. Far too many people just whip it out on a park bench or in a shopping mall with no respect for anyone else. If a guy really had to relieve himself, and he had to either water a tree or soak his pants, legally, he'd have to get wet. If he whips it out at any time, even if urinary tract health is in question, he gets hit with public indecency and becomes a sex offender. But nothing for a publicly exposed breast. The government won't allow it on network TV, so why would it be allowed out on the streets? That double-standard is intolerable! They have fashion police in Flint, MI for God's sake! If you're belt's below your butt with your boxers hanging out, well, you're fined or even arrested. And, still, nothing for a nipple! This issue will wind up on a state ballot one of these days. It deserves a federal law. |
