@Avitable, My breasts are for *my* (and my boyfriend’s) sexual pleasure. How does not wanting to be seen as a piece of meat contradict with enjoying have my breasts consentually stimulated by my boyfriend when intimate? I’m sure you view your penis as a sexual organ, but you don’t have to worry about complete strangers staring at it in public as if they’re entitled to do so. Objectification is never okay. I’d just like to walk down the street and be seen as a *human*, not a “hot chick” (or whatever it is idiots are calling conventionally attractive young women who dare go out in public).

@Mel, so I’m an asshole for “assuming women’s breasts are only here for my viewing pleasure” (and I was being sarcastic for those of you who are playing at home) but it’s okay for you to see your breasts as only being for sexual pleasure? Get off your fence.

@hello haha narf, I truly apologize if my comment came off as hostile. That was most definitely not my intention. As far as the comment regarding women’s breasts for viewing pleasure, that was directed at the writer of this rant, not at you. You’ll notice I reserved the name-calling for him – he seems to take pride in being called those things.
I get worked up a little when I see comments that equate women’s bodies solely with motherhood while men’s bodies, even if they’re fathers, are always viewed as neutral. The author demonstrated in his entry how pervasive this double standard is. I interpreted you saying that’s *all* women’s bodies are for…which is sadly a message I very often get from society. Like if I don’t consider myself a baby incubator I’m not a “real” woman. Also, men create life as well – that is, afterall, what their sperm is for. What offended me wasn’t you saying women’s bodies are capable of creating/nourishing life – of course they are – but the implication that this is solely what women’s bodies are made for, while not thinking the same for men.
I personally only see my breasts as means for sexual pleasure, as they will never have any other use. From a biological standpoint, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that breast play feels great to lots of women. We can’t discount that as part of their function. Much like the clitoris is technically useless in reproduction but generally necessary to get a woman aroused. Hence, I do not think women’s breasts solely exist (or were made, as you put it) to nourish life.
Lastly, I enjoy hearing others’ beliefs and engaging in dialogue. I don’t see the harm in telling someone they’ve offended you (and the way you phrased your comment did offend me). Just as you felt compelled to comment on the author’s beliefs, I felt compelled to comment on yours. It’s all just a sharing of ideas.

@Mel,
for what it is worth, i have no children. it was my decision not to have children so yeah, i get it that people may use their bodies however they see fit. yet i still believe that a woman’s breasts were made to nourish life and that men’s aren’t…when a baby is around men simply cannot nourish them naturally. although i am not sure why you have such issue with something that i clearly stated was MY belief.

and where the hell did i say a woman’s breasts are only here for his viewing pleasure? fuck off.

@hello haha narf, Your comment almost offended me more than this asshole assuming women’s breasts are only here for his viewing pleasure (pre-baby only, of course). *puke* A woman’s body was NOT “made to create and nourish life” any more than a man’s was. They were created for the same purposes as a man’s – to contribute to the world in any way the owner sees fit. Having children, if one chooses to, should be only a small part of one’s life! I have a uterus and vagina and have ZERO desire to “create and nourish life”. I hate to admit that I agree with this asshat on everything BUT his problem with lactating breasts – children are generally little monsters. A woman breastfeeding, however, I hardly notice. Maybe that’s because I live somewhere where it’s legal for women to go topless – we’re not such puritans.

I didn’t say “I” find it offensive. It is obvious that offensiveness is at it’s core, the driving force of your comedic approach. You can’t show your balls and your naked hairy ass floating in your pool without blinking, and then whine like a spoiled brat when you see something “creepy”. Jeez, grow a real pair to show off!!

Lexi, doesn't seem that hard to me, either. SpaceCasie, well, it won't ruin my day. It's just creepy. Catherine, being polite and considerate - is it so hard? Willie G, why would you ever think that I want to be taken seriously? Well, except now - if you find the blog offensive, why do you come?
