Subject: OT commentary that I posted at my board re: Janet Jackson... Author: Cabbie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:28:34 02/05/04 Thu In reply to: Cabbie 's message, "LOL, Holly..." on 21:08:33 02/04/04 Wed Okay, perhaps it was cheesy and underhanded to reveal her decorated breast when nobody expected it, but the reaction to this is making me feel that there's some or a whole lot of anti-woman-ness going on. Apparently the county is SO over-the-top traumatized/horrified by seeing a woman's breast that other networks must act fast: "The fiasco also affected NBC, which decided to remove a glimpse of an elderly patient's breast in Thursday's episode of "ER."" This quote is part of a top story on the earthlink home page. WTF? I am not getting this extreme offense and the extreme offense is starting to really piss me off as a woman who has breasts. You know, the things babies nurse from, the things that art has portrayed bare for centuries because you know...it's a very essential female body part. Perhaps if I was breastless I'd be offended. I mean...COME ON!!!! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
