LMAO - holy crap, you are so far off the mark.

I breastfed - and I did it in PUBLIC without a cover because I am not ashamed of my breasts. But a baby eating off of a breast is not sexual.

There is no way in HELL you can say that women do not dress in certain ways because they are being sexual, that is just ignorant.

Quoting Harlot O'Scara:" Yes, I'm opening this can of worms. Why do so many people feel the need to call women "sluts"? It's ... [snip!] ... our culture. Sexuality is an intensely personal thing and I don't think it's fair to judge anyone so harshly for it. Thoughts?"

I never use that name and my husband doesn't either.
I don't know why people feel the need to judge otherss and call them names like that.

For the love of glob woman please stop half-ass reading my posts. I know you're out to make me look like I don't know what I'm talking about but seriously you're starting to make me doubt your ability to read.

What part did I mis-interpret?

"By saying that someone dressing a certain way is sexual, or being able to see certain body parts is sexual, it really is exuding the idea that the human form is in some way shameful - especially as a woman, when shame and sexuality are considered in the same ballpark. "


Yes - women dressing in certain ways ARE sexual! Lol, if you put on a tight little number with your tits hanging out, that is sexual. I'm not shaming sexuality! It has nothing to do with sexuality being wrong or shameful - it's when sexuality and children are brought together that it is not ok.


"It's this kind of stigma that is making women choose not to breastfeed - because breasts nowadays are seen as purely sexual objects. But this is a topic on slut-shaming, so I won't get off-track with that..."

Actually - you are very wrong on this topic. There is a HUGE push for breastfeeding and the ability to do it in public these past few years. MORE women are choosing to breastfeed meaning NO, breasts themselves are losing their "sexual only" label that they carried for so long.

Quoting Rumpelstiltskin:" We have said many, many times, it's not nudity that is offensive, it's a body that is being sexually ... [snip!] ... nothing sexual about that. But wearing certain outfits that sexualize the body in a vulgar way is what can be found offensive."

An outfit cannot sexualize a body. The only thing that makes a body sexual is sexual acts. It is your problem if you find a certain outfit to be "sexy".

Quoting ★Bαtgirl:" See this people? If you're wearing it in public with a G-string and a bra underneath, and nothing else... yeah, that's pretty offensive. "

I actually find nothing offensive about this.

Quoting Tarynosaurus Rex:" I actually find nothing offensive about this."

*walks past taryn smothered in just parkay* How bout now?

Quoting LolaMcKitten:" Yeah and that goes both way - not everything thats legal is right, but that doesn't mean I want to go ... [snip!] ... but have a tiny bit of respect and don't wear it in front of peoples kids. It's called judgement, more people should use it. "

I have yet to see a child damaged by nudity or even provocative clothing. Children don't know any different. Society molds them into thinking it's wrong, but kids see nothing inherently wrong with it until they are told that it's wrong.

Quoting Tarynosaurus Rex:" I actually find nothing offensive about this."

The law begs to differ with you.  

Quoting ★Bαtgirl:" The law begs to differ with you.  "

Depends on the area though.

Quoting LolaMcKitten:" Yes, there are ways of dressing that is meant to be overly sexual. "

By your own personal opinion. That's not really true for everyone. You're generalizing and saying that EVERYONE who dresses a certain way is meaning to be sexual, when in reality there is much more to how a person dresses. A lot of people just wear smurf they find attractive, stuff they find comfortable, or what expresses their personality. It's all in how you've been conditioned to see clothing and sexuality. Like no one would say someone dressing in a bikini is overly sexual, yet a woman showing the same amount of skin or less in her bra and underwear is seen as sexual. Why? It is just underwear.

Quoting Tarynosaurus Rex:" By your own personal opinion. That's not really true for everyone. You're generalizing and saying that ... [snip!] ... yet a woman showing the same amount of skin or less in her bra and underwear is seen as sexual. Why? It is just underwear."

I've always wondered about people making a big deal about that as well.

When you walk of of your house with your nipples literally out of your clothing, that ceases to be personal style and crosses the line into blatant sexuality. I never said anything about bathing suits or anything of the like, thats a whole different issue.

Quoting Tarynosaurus Rex:" I have yet to see a child damaged by nudity or even provocative clothing. Children don't know any different. ... [snip!] ... Society molds them into thinking it's wrong, but kids see nothing inherently wrong with it until they are told that it's wrong."

Then you should probably catch up on your child psychology.  

Quoting LolaMcKitten:" There is a HUGE difference between modesty though and having your nipples showing when your at the ... [snip!] ... and goes "mommy why are her nipples showing" - that ceases to be a question of modesty and starts to be a question of respect. "

So I assume if you're offended by a woman's nipples you would also be offended by a man's? Because if not then you are being misogynistic and holding women to a different standard than men. And I'm sorry, but a kid is just curious about breasts. Most kids see breasts daily. At least those who are breastfed do. It's not the end of the world.
