Boobs, breasts, ta-ta’s, we ALL have them. Yet some are seemingly terrified of their existence.
I’ll never understand how people can make such a fuss about a mother breastfeeding her child in public but it seems fine to have male actors sing about how they have trouble getting a hard on in a television commercial.
Viva Viagra!
I’ll let you in on a little secret, when it comes to breastfeeding, it’s just a boob. I know, shocker!
What makes me stabby is when some say Well, taking a crap is natural but I wouldn’t do that in public.
Ahhh, yes. Because taking a crap is so comparable to breastfeeding.
Viva Viagra!
I think sometimes we as parents forget our children’s innocence. They see things through such different eyes. I don’t think seeing an entertainer in a low-cut outfit or hearing a musician singing about sex will make your kids destined to a stripper pole. I’m not saying that I want my daughter to idolize some of these teen actors and singers but I want her to have a healthy body image.
I think how my daughter will react to these things will be because of the way my husband and I do.
I want her to be proud of her body, not ashamed.
Like a woman’s body, I want her to know that a man’s body isn’t offensive either. I just haven’t quite figured out how I’ll explain. She’s only 2 so I’m hoping I’ll have some time to think about it although I know she’s starting to get curious about her body so I better think fast.
What do you think? Does a woman’s body get a worse wrap than a man’s? What do you think is appropriate to tell your children when it comes to our sexuality? If you have a son and daughter do you notice if you approach it differently with them?
I definitely have to agree with you. Women have to deal with a lot more discrimination about their bodies. For whatever reason, this popped into my mind when reading your story: it is perfectly okay for a man to pull off the freeway onto the side of the road to pee, but if a woman does it, well then traffic will just come to a standstill, and all sorts of bad things will ensue. In fact, I have seen men do this multiple times, but never once a women. I like to think it is because we have the common decency not to do that, but frankly, I think it is because we know what the outcome may be.
