     OP - July 14, 2009, 05:51 PM
    Why is it OK for men to bare their chests and it is a taboo for women to do so? Don't men have nipples and might even feel sexual pleasure if their sexual partner touches or kisses them?

    In Rural African or Amazonian tribes both men and women could be seen to walk chest naked!! So is it possible that it all started because of religion?

    The natural habitat of humans is the rainforest. If you look at indigenous hunter-gatherer societies who live in rainforests, the majority of them are naked or nearly naked. The great thing about humans is we moved out of our natural habitat, and although most species would have died out in these conditions, humans figured out how to adapt and survive, and clothing was a big part of that.

    As for dressing in a "moral" and "modest" way, it is all relative. If somebody in London dressed in the same way as a member of the Wayapi tribe from the Amazon rainforest, their dress would be considered immodest. If a woman in Saudi Arabia dressed in the same way as a woman in London, her dress would be considered immodest. I feel it is hugely arrogant to say what is a modest and what is an immodest way of dressing.

    I saw a programme on tv a while ago, it was part of a series called 'Tribal Wives' where they take average British women and they live for a time with a tribe in the Amazon or the Sahara or wherever.  One women was sent to live with a Hausa tribe in Africa and the women of the tribe were telling her how until recently they had gone around bare chested even though they were Muslim but had started recently wearing tops due to the creeping influence of Wahhabi Islam.  I hope they won't be sporting burqas anytime soon!

    I agree that it should be just as illegal for men to parade about topless as it is for women.  First because most men who do go around without shirts on should not as it is purely disgusting to have to look at someone's pot belly, hairy nipples and crappy tattoos when filling up the tank or getting groceries.  Secondly, it's just plain not fair!

    I am talking about the double standard we see when it comes to being topless. I mentioned in one of the previous threads that I once saw a Saudi couple walking down Oxford street in London few summers back.... the woman was covered from top to toe black in black and not a single opening for respiration, while the man was in shorts and T-shirts walking beside her licking ice cream....

    Same here, in a soccer match (in summer time) you will definitely see a man chest naked, but if a girl does that she will guaranteed be on Page 3 of the SUN!! and in the news they will be covering her breast s with a black rectangle implicating an immoral thing!!

    Many places you wouldn't expect allow toplessness. Sadly, not many women exercize their rights.

    Thanks for the link! .... interesting indeed!!!

    In 1995, 5 women went topless in the Colombus, OH Gay Pride parade, were arrested and later released. The charges were dropped one month later. Indeed, in the Ohio Law statute, breasts are not considered "private parts". Therefore, women exposing their breasts in public is not considered indecent exposure. In 1998, 3 of the women who had been arrested 3 years earlier, sued the city of Columbus for false arrest and won their case . They were paid $15,000 in total for damages.

    I think the forbidden breast issue is similar to the hair covering issue for Muslims! I mean it is OK for men to show their hair and forbidden for women to do the same!!

    Why do men have nipples?
    By Dr. Mehran Sam PhD

    Humans are mammals like cats and monkeys and similar to other
    mammalian species only females generally nurse the young through their
    nipples with the milk prodcued in their mammary glands. So do men need
    nipples? or why men have nipples in the first place?

    It's a less known fact that men's breasts and nipples are just as
    functional as the female counterparts. If they take or for dietary
    reasons produce some extra doses of female hormones, men can also
    lactate just like females do. It has been suggested that male
    breastfeeding can even lead to emotional bonding between a child and
    the father as well    .

     Huh?

     Reply #10 - July 15, 2009, 01:13 AM
    Im not sure if that is true, but it might be .

    Men have nipples because all embryos begin life as bipotential, meaning that every embryo can develop into either male or female. Nipple growth begins before the Y chromosome masculinises the foetus to develop male organs while inhibiting female organs from developing. Absence of the Y chromosome leads to female development. Defective genes, mutations, or duplication or replication of the sex genes from Y to X, or X to Y chromosomes can lead to physical bigener development (hermaphroditism), in very rare cases it is possible for a human to have breast, ovarian and testicular tissue, with a combination of male and female genitalia anywhere in between having an enlarged clitoris resembling a penis, or a penis with a small vaginal hole.    

    Not sure about a normal XY male becoming able to lactate with female hormones, but I think it might be true with the transgender treatments that can happen, but we didnt study those on my degree, just midwifery, the embryonic development, genitals and hermaphrodites.

    Biology can be fun :p.

    On topic, it is considered socially taboo for women to go topless because that rule was made by dominative men in olden days. It isnt just about clothes being worn when its cold, when the weather is hot, men can walk around in nothing but shorts, but women have to cover their breasts up. Also, many religious people consider  women dressed in bikinis to be sluts, but the nearly naked man in just his shorts is not. Strange mentality.  

    They often use the line 'how would you like your mother or sister walking around like that?'

    We keep hearing about how Jack Straw or the French government have mentioned the veil and our doing so puts us in the same boat as them. How so? I want a ban on the burka, neqab and child veiling.

    I was about to say something similar to this bold part but you beat me to it Grin

    Its true, My grand uncle have some of the old photos of Hausa women walking bare chested back in 40s and it was considered as norm back then, not only Hausas even now there are some nomadic Fulani women around the central and southern part of Nigeria(where there is no Islamic influence) that walk around barechested especially if you are travelling on the road, you will see them by the roadside.

    Quite ironic how Nigerian authorities and the schools/varsities are trying to ban indecent dressing because its "unafrican" when people used to walk around bare chested before the colonialists and missionaries came in. Roll Eyes

    It means it doesnt conform with the "African" values, they think being gay and wearing an indecent dress is part of western lifestyle hence why they consider it as "unafrican". LOL

    Breasts have been sexualised and have been for a long time.

    They are, whether we like it or not, a sexual thingymebob.

    I do not want my kids seeing them any more than seeing any other sexual organ outside of an educational context.

    That is why women should atleast wear a bra like type (atleast) when going out.

    Do women find hairy chests so sexy that it makes them have 'hard on' equivalnet?

    I agree with Jedi to an extent, I perceive breasts as a private part, sexual anatomy if you will. I don't follow this desire to be the same as men, Womens bodies are different to mens, I am different in certain ways and not in others ( don't worry I'm not gonna go tell you every bit of your skin is different lol). So in general public I would take the view to cover them. However then I consider when it comes to breast feeding etc I see them differently, perhaps discretely but if your in public and your need to feed your child, if a man gets a hard on that's his problem because that is their other purpose.

    I do think it is dependent on culture also, like someone else said, in some tribes men aren't constantly erect because there are women with their breasts out. Living in the UK breasts are seen as a sexual thing.

    I'm not sure what my hard on equivalent would be,  but if a man with a six pack, pecs and sexy arms was all bare, my eyes may pop out my head a bit, raise in heart beat, I personally would probably try to look away because I'm in the habit from the Muslimyness. And the same way I don't really want to be seeing some hairy rolls all out. So though a mans chest may not be associated with sexual anatomy, it can still arouse or repulse women, so they can cover their shit too.
