Why do all american wome made to wear a burka?
I had this thought of this after stumbling on an old post I had placed on the SG site. Here is an excerpt:
The uproar some time ago over Janet Jackson's "sartorial failure" illustrates well how much americans are obsessed and downright terrified by tits!
Tits are common on European public television channels. In the good USA, the FCC rises in alarm as if female nipples held some magic corrupting power.
A few decades hence, the Los Angeles Time printed a photo of breasts that triggered a flood of protest letters. An avant-garde foray by the courageous time? Think again: the angle in the photo was deceiving. Those tits belonged to Johnny Weissmuller. Everything was duly explained away in the next day's issue"
It occurred to me that there is a dark truth behind such stories.
It is an incontournable fact that all american women when in public view, are compelled, by social pressure and often by law, to cover their upper torso with opaque textiles, an imperative reminiscent of the infamous muslim burka and imposed with the same theocratic rationale: the sight could arouse men and lead to sin! To make it worse and unlike the burka, it is imposed long before puberty.
Think of it:
Every woman and girl from age 6 to 70 on has to wear a bra. Everyone, no matter how small or whether anything needs support. A friend of mine visiting the UCLA (off all places)recreation center with her 5-year old daughter got chided by some other mother because the girl was wearing a bathing suit that did not have a top.
In many a schools showing off with a detectable absence of bra is a punishable offense.
Tourists flock in my star studded neighborhood. I watch them for the telltale strap lines. Always there. A pair of breasts dancing freely under a t-shirt are a common sight in Europe Here, it is a rare treat.
Men can show their nipples in public freely, when will we hear a feminist voice clamoring for equal rights?
