I apologize for how my remarks sounded. I agree that "half-naked is
*not* equal to sub-human." I took the implication that this legislator
was not being complimentary; like he feels that no one should be
subjected to seeing women's breasts. That was what insulted me.
I grew up in a part of the world where "half-naked" was pretty normal for
the indigenous people (Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Pacific Ocean). The
human body does look perfectly fine, and I let myself get annoyed that we
even have to debate BF in public.
Please forgive me sounding insensitive.
