The purpose of topless is to bare it all, I agree - and its in public so its not private - but still a woman at a topless beach is not doing it to seduce someone or arouse someone. Same is the case with tribal women. Its just the way they live.
Problem is with us. We have set standards of beauty, and if a woman does not pass that standard, we are ok to televise her like we do it with any animal. That is being racist. Whether she is beautiful or not, she should be treated at the same standard.
Diwana, those women dont live like that because they are poor. They can use leaves or animal skins to cover themselves up. They chose to live like that.
the question is- does it arouse you watching the tribal women dance around naked? Does it offend you in any way? If the answers if yes, then it should be censored.
The difference between a topless woman on a Brazilian beach and a nude tribal woman is that the former takes some care of herself while the latter does not remember when was the last time she bathed. Also, they don’t wear bras or anything to support their breasts, which means they don’t retain the shape you normally are accustomed to seeing on TV and around you. All of this is somewhat a requirement for a modern man to feel sexually aroused. Unless of course, you are into some weird sh*t.
TLK, the answer to your question is that in that show you watched on National Geographic, the boobies were not very firm and full. Even the camera crew wasn’t aroused. So the moral of the story is, hot boobs = censoring needed, tribal boobs = no problemo.
Oh also, what about nursing mothers who sit feeding their babies without covers? Is that OK? Don’t tell me you have never seen that. I’ve seen it more often than I’d like it see the unnecessary exposure of an otherwise totally necessary and lovely act.
