Could we put a halt to this type of discussion? The continued comparison of
attitudes toward breasts and penises just keeps promoting the idea that
breasts are sexual organs. Quite frankly, I find these comments as
offensive as the ones made by men regarding women's breasts. I've never
been thought a prude, and certainly have a sense of humor, but I think our
discussion of cultural attitudes regarding the female breast would be more
productive if done in a mature manner.
