Hi, Karen,

Kathy Dettwyler showed that treating breasts as sex objects is a cultural
construct.  While, from it's prevalence in N. America, we might think even
babies would be subject to it, the very young haven't been exposed yet.

Incidentally, anybody who missed the conference should order the video
of "Beauty and the Breast".  She is absolutely great!  I think she could even
convince breast-fixated men.  (Yes, we ARE trainable :-) )
