From the NYT, "Is Your Body Appropriate to Wear to School?":
“She told me, ‘I’m thinking of ways I could fix this for you. She said, ‘I was a heavier girl and I have all the tricks up my sleeve,’” Ms. Martinez said....Meanwhile, women whose nipples don't show are getting injections to produce those "Kendall Jenner" bumps because they love the look. This amusing video was in the NY Post recently:
The incident happened two weeks ago — Ms. Martinez’s initial tweet about the incident went viral — but the backlash is still going strong. On Monday, Ms. Martinez and some of her classmates held a silent protest in support of “the destigmitization of natural bodies.” Despite threats of disciplinary action, about 30 female students opted not to wear bras, and a number of students decorated their backpacks with Band-Aids in the shape of an X. One student wore a shirt that read, “Do my ni**ples offend you?” (The asterisks were hers.)...
In the case of Ms. Martinez, for example, the school is “foisting this notion that unrestrained breasts are sexual and likely to cause disruption and distract other students,” [said lawprof Meredith Harbach]. But this kind of messaging that targets young women — your skirt is too short, you look too sexy, you’re distracting the boys — “deflects any and all conversation about appropriate mutually respectful behavior in schools between boys and girls... Who is disrupted actually? It’s Lizzy. Whose learning experience is impacted?.... It doesn’t sound like other kids had a major disruption, but she sure did.”...
Much nicer than breast implants, I think. I'd love to see the trend change from giant enlarged breasts to classic fits-into-a-champagne-glass breasts with distinct nipples. It's a sporty, healthy, youthful look that I encourage.
I'd like to see an end to this idea that, even if you don't need support, you have to wear a bra because you've got to give the impression of not having nipples. It has to be a padded bra too, or it won't work, and the ridiculous alternative is to put stickers on. This is America, people.
Bonus: Here's Snopes investigating the question "Were champagne glasses modeled on Marie Antoinette's breasts?" The answer is no, but there's a reason people thought about it: The glasses seemed to represent the perfect size and shape for a breast:
No one knows how this rumor began, but a good guess would be someone’s drunken observations on the shape of the glass coupled with a dollop of male fantasy sparked it off.ADDED: Some people seem to have forgotten what champagne glasses look like. Indeed, we've been disciplined into using champagne flutes, which preserve the bubbles for abstemious sipping. But people used not to worry about the champagne going flat. They giddily guzzled and reveled in the fast popping bubbles hitting them all over their face. Think of Marilyn:
The coupe is further associated with ladies’ breasts by the oft-repeated claim that prospective members of the Folies Bergere dance troupe were subjected to a champagne glass test — a coupe fit over their naked breasts determined who was eligible. Provided the young ladies’ charms remained within the glass, they were still in the running; if their natural wonders overflowed, it was, well, tough titties for them.

As was the misspelling.
Notice it's a woman trying to control a womans sexuality. For which, patriarchy will be blamed.
Oh well, she spelled "offend" correctly so her education remains on track.
and the ridiculous alternative is to put stickers on. This is America, people.
This is the home of NASCAR! Making something better by affixing stickers is as American as apple pie.

I thought I would never work for the government, but if there's such a position as "[female] nipple inspector," I'll reconsider.
but a good guess would be someone’s drunken observations on the shape of the glass coupled with a dollop of male fantasy sparked it off.
Men would have been holding beer steins and arguing for an equivalent size were this story true.
I suspect it was a woman who mentioned the champagne glass because it seemed classy. Male fantasy had nothing to do with it.
To answer the question, in general, No, the nipples doth cause no offense.
And yet we wonder why the aliens never visit. We humans are some strange creatures.
Meanwhile, women whose nipples don't show are getting injections to produce those "Kendall Jenner" bumps because they love the look.
How long until someone sells shirts with little bumps sewn in?
And then how long until one boy dares another to wear one to school?
Frankly, I think we should all consider whether Kendall Jenner asks the paparazzi to wait a few minutes for her to stimulate her nipples before they take her picture.
Because you know they would.
And yet we wonder why the aliens never visit.
Maybe aliens have severely protruding nipples and are waiting for a time where they can walk around unnoticed?
"foisting this notion that unrestrained breasts are sexual"
That's quite a notion to foist.
It's not the nipples but that it makes the breast more imaginable as naked, rather than just a dress shape the bra-makers are selling.
A move to cameltoes will be the breakthrough.
An actual naked breast isn't actually sexy. The trick is to produce imagination through concealment.
In the case of Ms. Martinez, for example, the school is “foisting this notion that unrestrained breasts are sexual and likely to cause disruption and distract other students,”
Foisting?
Where the fuck are we? Of course breasts are sexual, and of course they distract boys (and presumably lesbians). That's simple common sense and human nature. Have we really reached the point where asking girls to wear a bra to school is offensive? How about panties? Can we at least require them to wear panties?
Yet one more reason to bring back segregated schools.
Please stand up. Now jump up and down.
My favourite part is at ~2:15 when the surgeon is talking about how it's possible to have perfect nipples while disabled/injured man hobbles in the background.
Really, when you think of it rationally, it’s odd to so sexualize the breasts. They are only biology’s way of feeding one’s young.
Whether distracting boys should be grounds for consideration I'll leave for another day, but distracting the boys does not necessarily entail disruption by the boys.
The one thing I remember about one woman in my law school class some 45 years ago was that she typically went braless. There was no disruption, but I doubt I was the only male whose attention was diverted.
Aren't champagne glasses tall and thin? Is the idea long, thin cylinders? Hm. That doesn't seem right.
Oh, the coupe glass.
Inga says breasts are ONLY nature's way of feeding the young. Among humans, I think the "only" is transparently false.
"Aren't champagne glasses tall and thin? Is the idea long, thin cylinders?"
People usually say "flutes" for the glasses commonly used today. Back when "champagne glass" was used to express the idea breast size and shape — as recently as the 1970s — the wide hemisphere shape was standard for champagne. Then everyone got instructed that flutes were more correct and you basically only see flutes today.
The reason for the wide open glass was that it maximized the fizziness of the champagne and people were into the blast of bubbliness to the nose and face. But that meant it would go flat more quickly. If you want to sip champagne, the flute made more sense. But look for pictures of Marilyn Monroe giggling and guzzling. That was a "coupe."
School uniforms.
Yoga pants are just as bad.
The feminist war against biology continues.
"“Do my ni**ples offend you?” (The asterisks were hers.)..."
Were the "asterisks", asterisks? Do they mean she used asterisks in place of letters? Or do they mean by "hers" that it was two pictures of her actual nipples (or even cartoon nipples) in place of the missing letters? That would be amusing and sassy.
Prominent, pokey nipples were a thing in the early '80s. Department store mannikins had them, even in the girls' department.
unrestrained breasts are sexual and likely to cause disruption and distract other students,” [said lawprof Meredith Harbach].
She's right. Forty years later, I can still get distracted thinking about the girls in my high school who wore the white cotton t-shirts without a bra. Ahhh.
Freeman Hunt is correct. When I think of breasts and champagne glasses I think of National Geographic.
I haven't read the story, but I will just predict that the push back against the student came from women, not men at the school.
Too bad her name wasn't Sue Ellen.
Instead of an operation, why not just wear a pair of pointy nipple pasties? Would be both quicker and cheaper to offer this look, no?
But there is a problem.
An eBay title search for nipple pasties yielded 9,898 results. Prices start at 93 cents with free shipping, from Hong Kong:
"Colorful Women's Adhesive Lingerie Tassel Heart Bra Nipple Cover Pasties Silicon" [In 5 colors!] eBay item number:311844776635.
The highest priced item was $107.48 plus $14.32 shipping from the UK:
"AGENT-PROVOCATEUR-SWAROVSKI-CRYSTAL-LEATHER-CONSTANCE-NIPPLE-PASTIES, eBay item number:331895083042.
But sadly, no pointy nipple pasties. ("Point" only describes the number of points in star pasties.)
Seems to me that a lot of money could be made to satisfy the worldwide voracious unmet demand for pointy pasties. (AKA falsy pointy nipple enhancers.)
Except, perhaps, in Sharia land.

Are erect nipples distracting to high school boys? You bet your sweet bippy.
@Kevin 11:54 AM
You're right! Except that the Amazon search results for Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry: "nipple pasties" yielded "over 1000 results"...but (alas) no pointy nipple pasties.
Entrepreneurs, do your thing. Licensing the Trump name might distinguish your product from the competition.
I can't believe no one thought of these, they were featured on an episode of Sex and The City. https://www.refinery29.com/fake-nipples-fashion-trend?bucketed=true&bucketing_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F
The same effect can be achieved by breastfeeding two or three kids in a row.
"[...]appropriate mutually respectful behavior in schools between boys and girls... Who is disrupted actually?"
Boys should never look at girls, or talk to girls, or notice or react to them in anyway. Girls would never dress in a way to draw attention to themselves. Girls are asexual and teenage girls would never try to sexually attract their male peers. Unlike teenage boys, teenage girls never push the boundaries of appropriate behavior or dress.
I'm 100% sure the problem is going to males acting inappropriately. Females would never attack each other over the attention of male.
Personally, I'm waiting for someone to make men's pants like these and for a group of smart ass guys to wear them into school some day.

And I'm on the job, Igna, per your expectations, reminding you that you're an idiot. All mammals nurse their young. Only humans have breasts. Any idiot could tell they are a secondary sexual characteristic. Any idiot but you, that is.

Tits are sexual in the minds of 17 year old boys. Girls know this, and they can't date the football players if they don't have them swinging and poking your eye out.
Let's not bring adult-based anatomy into this.

None of the boys complain.

Jupiter, I’m speak as a female who isn’t in the least bit attracted to other female breasts and find it humorous that western males are so smitten by them. And your overreaction to my comment is just stupid.
We don’t see the same sort of obsession with breasts in other cultures. As for the biology of breasts and breast tissue and the reasons only human females develop protruding breasts before childbearing and even retain protruding breasts after menopause, here’s some interesting reading. I fully understand western human males see female breasts sexually, but sometimes it’s not always rational. Native women of other cultures sport bouncing, drooping, lactating, breasts uncovered for all to see and males of the society don’t will nilly bend them over and have sex with them on a regular basis, because the sight of the breasts were such a sexual trigger. Maybe these cultures are more rational about human female breasts than western males.
Possible evolutionary reasons why human females have permanent breasts

Somewhere between a banana and 12" summer sausage.
Some women have chosen to perceive this as an effort by men to control them. In reality it's one half of the agreement, the other being that men will enforce women's objections when men look at them more closely than they would like.
I'm fine with the new standard. But I wonder if women have thought this through. For example do they understand this gives their classmates license to discuss their nipples? If you can show them because they aren't sexual your classmates can discuss them because they aren't sexual. Nothing prevents them from discussing who has the largest ears. Maybe these women who like to push the boundaries are ok with this outcome, but I suspect most simply haven't thought about it. But even if we presume they all have who authorized this small group of radicals to speak for all women?
On the Black Panthers' day off, Eldridge Cleaver reinvented pants.
Again, if girls don't have to wear bras to school, then why not wear mini skirts with no panties?
Really, when you think of it rationally, it’s odd to so sexualize the breasts.
Then we should stop sexualizing legs, butts, feet and every other part of the human anatomy, too.
Rational thought. From you.
That's a good one.
Too bad her name wasn't Sue Ellen.
Indeed.
“Rational thought.”
One can’t expect a rational thought from a retarded gnat, therefore I have no such expectations from you.
Achilles: So tight fitting then.
Here’s an example of the irrationality of western culture when it comes to breasts. Women were shamed into not nursing their babies in public, even if they covered themselves while doing so. Until recently women were relegated to nurse their babies in dirty unsanitary public restrooms. Women were in past years persuaded to not nurse their children because it might have ruined their youthful beautiful perky breasts. Women undergo painful surgery to enlarge their breasts because our western culture deems a woman more beautiful if she has large breasts.
The irrationality surrounding breasts in our culture is an anomaly, ancient women and men and other cultures didn’t seem to have a similar obsession with breasts. Look at this poor young lady who was shamed by the principal, because her nipples would be distracting, isn’t that silly?
Look at this poor young lady who was shamed by the principal, because her nipples would be distracting, isn’t that silly?
Almost as silly as a 17 year old girl going to school without her bra on.
“Almost as silly as a 17 year old girl going to school without her bra on.”
This is ridiculous. Are male youths not capable of self control? If a young female without a bra on is so sexually triggering to a young male that he can’t control himself, maybe his parents didn’t do such s good job raising him. There are bras out there that don’t have padding and the nipples can be seen protruding even through the bra. What would you suggest? A uniform policy for school girl’s bras? Maybe maybe a burka...
This is all lots of fun. Boobs are fun, on girls and in public office. But does no one care any more about modesty? Not even parents of teen-age girls?

Are male youths not capable of self control?
You are forgetting that the girl is operating her tits in a crowd.
One male youth, probably some self control. Ten male youths? Forget it, the girl is going to be like a neodymium magnet.
If you want distracting, push up bras and tight shirts (common in high schools these days) are plenty distracting but no girl gets pulled into the Principals office.
But tiny nipple bumps are more distracting?
I look at prominent breasts in a tight shirt more than flopp6 bunps.
You hear that, fellas? Inga is telling you not to become aroused when you see boobs! Just stop that silliness right now! Nurse Ratched is the arbiter of what men should and should not find sexy.
After all it's not like women like Dolly Parton, Marilyn Monroe, and Jane Russell ever used male attraction to breasts to advance their own careers. Sure, women can buy black lace push-up bras at Victoria's Secret that lift their boobs up so high they can practically rest their chins on their bazooms, but that doesn't mean you should get all hot and bothered about them.
Are male youths not capable of self control?
Ask any Hooters waitress.
Women were in past years persuaded to not nurse their children because it might have ruined their youthful beautiful perky breasts.
Persuaded by whom? It can't be their own vanity since women must never be responsible for their own choices.
Are male youths not capable of self control?
Not really. That's why so many of them kill and maim themselves, or make life changing decisions. I believe there is even a biological developmental reason for this.
What would you suggest?
Segregated schools for boys and girls like we used to have.
“You hear that, fellas? Inga is telling you not to become aroused when you see boobs! Just stop that silliness right now! Nurse Ratched is the arbiter of what men should and should not find sexy.”
Um...no. I’m saying that it’s silly and overblown to go gaga over female’s breasts, so much so that a teenage girl must be humiliated and told to put bandaids over her nipples so she won’t arrouse the boys. So much so that nursing moms (which you were not one of) had to go into an unsanitary restroom to nurse her baby. Try being a female and not a male wanna be for once.
I graduated high school in 1961. Girls dressed very modestly. Nevertheless some of them caused lots of arousal among us boys.
If you got it, you got it. The packaging is secondary.
Do women walk around with exposed breasts in Japan? In China? In India? I'm wondering if there are a plethora of nude beaches in Indonesia. Because according to Inga, it's only those silly Westerners who think female breasts are sexy. Presumably, a lady could stroll around Kyoto with her top off and the only men who would get aroused would be those dumb white tourists.
Try not being such a silly old pussy-hatted prig.
“Because according to Inga, it's only those silly Westerners who think female breasts are sexy. Presumably, a lady could stroll around Kyoto with her top off and the only men who would get aroused would be those dumb white tourists.”
Um... no. I said ancient civilizations and other cultures didn’t/ don’t share the typical western (OK sure Eastern culture too, you earn a point!) obsession with female breasts as merely sexual objects. I think you’re trying to win points here from the guys here. Reminds me of the ugly pimply faced flat chested girls in high school who hung out with the boys in hopes of getting one of them to like her.
Well, now, Inga tells us boobs are just for feeding babies. But this feminist tells us no, they're not "just bottles I tuck into my bra everyday."
"Pleasure from one’s breasts or pleasure from being sexualized is totally left out of such a formula. Of course, there’s shockingly little conversation in our society about women taking pleasure from any parts of their bodies for any reason—much less conversation about sexual pleasure. And heaven forbid a woman admit that she ever enjoys being looked at as a sexual object."
Gee, and we wonder why men are confused these days.

Not what I said at all. Keep shaking your flat chest in front of the boys here, but they’ll just think you’re one of the boys. My boobs, bless them, served me well, nursed my children and delighted my husband and lovers ( not at the same time😇).
See, Inga, it's things like that that make you our Resident Dullard.
"Do women walk around with exposed breasts in Japan? In China? In India?"
Inga's assertion is confused. It's not just the West where the breast is fetishized. And it is only small subset of humanity, restricted to certain tribal cultures and beach customs of certain places where the breast is allowed to swing freely. And among nudists. Covering up tends to be the overwhelming rule across the world. Even the paper she cites, at least the portion that's available without paying, suggests otherwise.
If she wants to see beach attire more widely accepted, I would expect most people would recoil against students and co-workers coming to school or work in uncovered bikini and speedos.
But I wouldn't say it's so much prudery or priggery, but rather an inclination, whatever its origin, to not understand preferences that differ from her own.
“See, Inga, it's things like that that make you our Resident Dullard.”
Your obvious jealousy over the life I’ve led makes you lash out. I’m sorry you made bad decisions in your youth, don’t take it out on others.
Ah, Inga, try to be original instead of hauling the same old insults. You're quite boring and unimaginative, as well as very poorly read.

Exactly. And even in the countries with such "beach customs" female public toplessness is confined to the beach. Walk around topless on the beach at St. Tropez and nobody cares. Do it on the Champs Elysee and you'll get a different reaction.
Who is advocating women go around bare breasted? You people are hilarious!

“But I wouldn't say it's so much prudery or priggery, but rather an inclination, whatever its origin, to not understand preferences that differ from her own.”
Your preferences in bra wear shouldn’t be hoisted upon the teen girl, shamed into covering her nipples with bandaids, or women relegated to unsanitary bathrooms to nurse their babies. So perhaps you should hold up the mirror and not accuse others of not understanding preferences that differ from yours. Don’t be a hypocrite.

If it's dumb for men to see breasts as sex objects and breasts are just for feeding babies, than the logical conclusion (I know, I know, "Inga" and "logical conclusion" go together like cats and accordions) would be that women should be allowed to go around topless just like men do. Hell, I've envied guys who get to take their shirts off on 100 degree days while I have to keep my sweaty T-shirt and bra on. If Western men (and most men throughout the world) didn't have a silly attraction to boobs, we could let 'em all hang out!
Is this what I was advocating? Really? How So? Is a braless girl wearing a shirt beach attire?
Note how she first generalizes to breast fetish but then runs back to the original subject when her own generalization is challenged. Fundamentally dishonest.
“Standard tactic from the I Hate America crowd.”
LOL! You folks are schizophrenic, first you love the sexy boob, then you hate the nipple showing through a shirt. Then I hate America and want beachwear to the be new school uniform...

I'll keep my opinion of 17 year old female nipples to myself, but I would note that Jennifer Aniston's nips are a national treasure and should end up in the Smithsonian.
“If it's dumb for men to see breasts as sex objects and breasts are just for feeding babies...”
Did I say it was dumb? Did I say breasts were SOLELY for breastfeeding? Your misrepresenting what I said doesn’t prove your point. The problem here with many of you folks is the propensity for extremism and for jumping to conclusions, based on your misperceptions. It's uncanny that this happens in many discussions in these comments threads. I’d ask what the hell is your problem, but I know what it is.
It's because I recognize that many straight men find boobs and nipples very sexy that I think teenage girls should dress with a bit of modesty at school. Only a dolt, or Inga (but I repeat myself) thinks that that means requiring a girl to wear a burka.
Dress codes in high school are appropriate. I also hated the fad of boys going around with baggy pants which covered only half their ass and displayed 4 inches of underwear. Girls should learn that it's possible to dress attractively without having your boobs and ass hanging out. What they wear outside of school is their own business.
Inga is in favor of Planet Slob.
Again, from being accused of being a prude to advocating teen girls dress like street walkers...
Schizophrenic.
Now I advocate sloppy clothing for teens in school?
LOL.
Breasts are a trait of the female sex, and feminine gender, that serve two roles in Mother Nature's fitness function. One, they are visually attractive, and stimulating, to the male sex and masculine gender. Two, following choice, conception, and birth, they deliver nutrition to a human life outside her mother's womb, so that she may evolve, be her mother and father's partner, and continue the Duck Dynasty.
As a fetish... sort of, kind of, not really. I wonder if Mother Nature designed women to have twins.

"Really, when you think of it rationally, it’s odd to so sexualize the breasts. They are only biology’s way of feeding one’s young."
Moron, let me spell it out: expecting boys to NOT have a sexual response to boobs is prudish. You think it's OK for the girls to dress with tits showing because it's the male reaction to breasts that is all wrong, and the girl cannot, under any circumstance be criticized for dressing inappropriately for school.
That's a really idiotic position and you have only made yourself sound dumber as this thread has progressed.
The problem here with many of you folks is the propensity for extremism and for jumping to conclusions
I'm always amused when the person who claimed the religious right wants to turn America into The Handmaid's Tale claims others are extreme.
All humans start out as females (check your nipples).
It's not until the fetus organs develop and the hormones are released, that the sex is assigned by the chromosomes controlling them.
Fat men actually start releasing female hormones and can develop breasts, and the penis begins shrinking and is no longer able to flow any more blood than a large clitoris.
It goes downhill from there, but it never gets so bad your testicles fall off.
Yes. I didn’t say they were SOLELY for feeding young, now did I? the word “only” is oftentimes used instead of “merely”. But you chose to believe the version of the word usage that serves you better. And what you’re trying to do is find something... anything... to disagree with me on. You chose to misunderstand, you choose to misconstrue, you choose to misrepresent. This is the way you’ve operated for all the years I’ve read your comments here on these comments threads. Here is a comment about this thread found in a different thread this earlier today.
“She's on another thread at Althouse saying a woman's breasts aren't sexual and their only function is to produce milk for the newborn.”
I said if one was rational, one wouldn’t oversexualize breasts as they are merely nature’s way of feeding one’s young. I give my personal opinion All.THE.TIME. One of the main reasons I’m here and if you don’t like it you can kiss my royal ass.

“I'm always amused when the person who claimed the religious right wants to turn America into The Handmaid's Tale claims others are extreme.”
You have repeated this several times now, what the hell are you talking about you passive aggressive little male bitch?
what the hell are you talking about
Your numbnuttery. You're better at hiding it now but that doesn't change who you are.
But you chose to believe the version of the word usage that serves you better.
Which is just what you do to everyone else.
“Moron, let me spell it out: expecting boys to NOT have a sexual response to boobs is prudish. You think it's OK for the girls to dress with tits showing because it's the male reaction to breasts...”
Are you completely bereft of common sense? I did not say boys wouldn’t and shouldn’t have a sexual response. Again with the mischaracterization of what I actually said. I said that they are not animals and can control their sexual responses. You really want to say men and boys are such weak pathetic creatures that they cannot control themselves when they face a sexual trigger? YOU are the moron (or weirdo) who really doesn’t seem to understand where sexuality ends and self control begins.
All humans are conceived as either the male or female sex, then the genetic map, in tandem with the environment, produces a masculine or feminine gendered, respectively, life form. As our matter becomes more coherent, we become men and women. As our matter loses coherence, we become disordered, dysfunctional, and nonviable, as human life forms.
"You really want to say men and boys are such weak pathetic creatures that they cannot control themselves when they face a sexual trigger?"
Dullard, I'm not saying that they'll jump her in the hallway. I'm saying it's distracting. I'm also saying adults should act like adults and set rules about what is appropriate dress for school and what is not. Setting rules and boundaries for teenagers is not being tyrannical.
Jesus Lord, but you're stupid.
And where did I say it was OK for girls to “show their tits” you idiot? A nipple under a shirt is not showing their tits. You think this Principal did the right thing making the girl put bandaids over her nipples so they wouldn’t make a small bulge in her shirt? You old wrinkly assed prude.
This blog post could be renamed, “Principal saves girl from rampaging hormonal boys who surely would’ve savaged her because of her nipple bulge”.
Did you have a dress code at your high school, Inga? Did you feel tremendously oppressed because you couldn't show your nipples to the boys during English class?
“I'm saying it's distracting.”
Ooooo, let’s not distract the teen boys by one girl who had a sunburn not wearing a bra under her shirt. Good thing you don’t have children.
There are about 5,000 mammalian species. Half are bats. Another quarter are rodents. Only human females have persistent breasts.
These nipples are making me thirsty.

Tits or GTFO
It took about three minutes to find an example. Remember both the Handmaid's Tale and her assertion that Akin's beliefs are normal for Republicans the next time she pretends there's a difference between herself and the far left. While she expects people give her that treatment she doesn't offer it to others.
It helps to remember Inga changes her handle regularly and I suppose if my grasp on reality was as tenuous I would also. She let the loon out a little too clearly which is why she hid as "Unknown" for a year or two. that's why it's so amusing when she judges others as extreme.

Except nobody said that, dullard.
Maybe teen boys should be made to wear really really loose pants and long T shirts so in case they have an erection they don’t trigger the teen girls into a sexual frenzy.
Intercourse through the oral receptacle. That's a fetish.
Intercourse through the anal aperture and in the rectal cavity. That's liberal (i.e. divergent), but perhaps not progressive (i.e. monotonic).
Reducing human life to a colorful clump of cells. That's sadistic.
So, normalization (i.e. promotion), tolerance, or rejection?

That's true. And she has constantly lied and contradicted herself - twice in this thread - and expects that nobody will notice because she's so addled-brained she forgets her own lies.
I feel very sorry for anybody who has an addled-brained liar for a mother.
Did you have a dress code at school, Inga?
Or did your mother let you go to school braless with your nipples sticking out? Did your daughters (all 500 of them) go to school braless with their nipples sticking out too?
I saw a lady breastfeeding a kid that was way too old to be on the nipple. I know this because he was giving me dirty looks when I was trying to sneak a peek. She was hot, what can I say?
“I feel very sorry for anybody who has an addled-brained liar for a mother.”
I feel relieved that you gave up your only child and she had the chance to grow up with normal parents. My children have told me many times that they were grateful to me for their upbringing, I’m very proud of the decent adults they are. Too bad your child can’t tell you the same.
How many Roy Moores did this girl spawn, so to speak?
Seems like the behavior would have been self limiting.
Maybe teen boys should be made to wear really really loose pants and long T shirts so in case they have an erection they don’t trigger the teen girls into a sexual frenzy.
If a male was wearing pants tight enough it could be seen he certainly would be asked to change. Not only would he not tweet about it literally no one would defend his clothing as a civil right.
It's bizarre extremists have to invent these persecution fantasies. There must not be any important sex based discrimination left, otherwise why would they focus on this nonsense.
Most high schools require a girl to keep her dick out of sight, especially in gym class.
“I saw a lady breastfeeding a kid that was way too old to be on the nipple. I know this because he was giving me dirty looks when I was trying to sneak a peek. She was hot, what can I say?”
OK, that’s funny.
These nipples are making me thirsty.
lol
That was perfect.
Blogger exiledonmainstreet said...
Nope, my dear. They were real and they were spectacular.
Were you fucking those hamdsome men when you were married to the doctor? Maybe he's not the father of your children, then. Or are you referring to the Republican plumber.
LOL!
Do doctors like bringing their work home?
I knew a girl who was basically a young unwed mother. She said she went to the doctor after her son was born and he said he needed to examine her breasts. She said his hands were shaking the whole time he examined her. Hmmmmm.
From what men have told me, their teen selves were embarrassed when they got boners in class and did not want their classmates or teachers to know about them. They weren't proudly showing them off.
Also, getting an erection are not something a teenage boy can control. Wearing a bra to school is something a girl can choose or not choose to do. So the comparison, like many comparisons Inga makes, is a dumb one.
Inga was married and she tells us she has fucked lots of handsome men, but frequently it sounds like she never met a man in her life or had any discussions with one about what it was like to be a teenaged boy.
Inga, I hope your kids- all 500 of them - are more truthful and smarter than you.
If they are, they got it from their daddy. Whoever he happens to be.
So Exiled, what do you think about bras that aren’t padded? Must girls wear padded bras so as to make sure they don’t show the nip? Maybe girls should bind their breasts so as not to have that arousing bulge in their blouses? No tight sweaters?
I never wore a padded bra in my life, not even in high school and I managed to not get felt up unless I wanted to be.
Also, I have a son and I have three daughters. No 500 children, as much as I loved having children and making them. I’m quite aware of what teen boys go through. My husband had already died by the time my son, the youngest was a teen and I was both mom and dad to him. He taught himself how to build an engine and did all the typical boy stuff, even without a dad and yes, he confided in me. For the record, no I didn’t cheat on my husband. After he died I was still a young woman and I wasn’t a nun.
I don't think it's asking too much for the school dress code to encourage modesty from both boys and girls.
There is much about our "natural bodies" that our society does not encourage being public, especially from underage children.
Somehow, she wasn’t sent home, was she?She was made to put bandaids on her nipples as if her nipples were the very thing that would drive the boys wild. Wouldn’t the sight of jiggly breasts be enticing too?
If breasts were not considered sexually attractive very few women would get breast implants. Most women who get breast implants have perfectly normal breasts. They want bigger breasts to look sexy. The US isn't the only country who does this, contrary to Inga's BS, Brazil, Greece, Columbia, the UK, Spain, Germany and Italy all have high rates.

Probably. But it seems like they found a good compromise, rather than send her home.
Come on. Breasts are sexually attractive. Why do people want to play this game?
As for the "rest of the world", the "rest of the world" has pretty strict school dress codes.
"So Exiled, what do you think about bras that aren’t padded? Must girls wear padded bras so as to make sure they don’t show the nip? "
LOL, move away from the computer, get out of the house and go shopping. Boston Store and Macy's and Kohl's all carry bras designed not to show the nipples and they're not padded. Bra technology has changed a bit since the 1950's.
If the girls want thinner, sexier bras they can wear those outside of school. Why would you want to wear a very revealing bra to class anyway? You're not going to school to show off your bra collection. Again, what they wear, or what their parents let them wear, outside of school is nobody's business. The school has the right to set some parameters.
Funny, I don't remember The Right To Show Nips being a big issue when we were in high school. Of course, I went to an all-girl's school (and we couldn't wear our skirts more than 2 inches above our knees - and not because adolescent boys would be driven mad by the sight of our legs) but the public high school kids had to follow a dress code too. We didn't like it - well so what? Not the adults.
I find it annoying that anytime someone tries to set a standard of behavior or dress nowadays, they are immediately accused of victimizing some kid who should have the right to do and wear whatever she wants. At my old job, a recent college grad showed up for an job interview wearing a very short purple dress with sequins on it and a guy showed up with a eyebrow piercing. And they were applying for the administrative office of a hospital, not a barista job at Starbucks! That is something people in other businesses have told me too. Nobody had taught those kids that you can't wear whatever you like whenever you like and there are things that are inappropriate in certain settings.
“The US isn't the only country who does this, contrary to Inga's BS, Brazil, Greece, Columbia, the UK, Spain, Germany and Italy all have high rates.”
Did I say the US was the only country that had a boob obsession? Where did I say that? I even specified the “Western countries”, should've included Eastern countries too. It’s amazing to me that it seems to be such a common trait among you dopes to misrepresent what someone says on these threads. Who the hell said boobs weren’t sexually attractive? Where did I say that, you dummy.

So only the Western and Eastern countries have a breast obsession? What's the point?

Well YOU might know what bras were like in the 50’s, but I wasn’t yet sprouting breasts in the 50’s. There is nothing wrong with showing your nipples through your bra, you old prude.
If an adult male was found to have a bunch of pictures with 17 year olds (and unders) with their nipples showing, we'd think he's a pedo.
It's not prudish to think girls at high school should be more discreet.
The newest trend in bras IS the “Free the nipple” bras, you old fuddy duddy.
They are only biology’s way of feeding one’s young.
No, they are not only biology's way of feeding one's young. I suspect your statement here is why people think you were disputing that they are sexually attractive.
A girl with a shirt on over a natural style bra or no bra is showing her nipples? The actual nipple isn’t being “shown”.
"Free the nipple" is also the movement to let women go topless in public. Which I don't support, and don't support for high school girls.
I also think what is the latest trend in lingerie is not necessarily what high school girls should be encouraged to wear.
You've been retired for a while (and that is not meant as a slam, just an observation) and I'm still working so I think I have a better idea of what is not being taught to kids. You would not believe the outfits young people wear to interviews for professional jobs. And also what poor table manners many have. I don't know if she still does it, but Jennifer Bartolotta, the Milwaukee restaurateur's wife, used to offer a class in basic table manners to college grads after hearing plenty of stories from appalled employers. And by basic table manners, I mean basic - like don't chew with your mouth open, don't lunge across the table for the salt shaker, things like that. Nobody had taught them that growing up.

I wasn't alive in the 50's.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with propriety and decorum, but it’s ridiculous to get bent out of shape by a teen girl forgoing a bra for one day because she had a sunburn and her little nips poked her shirt a bit.
“I wasn't alive in the 50's.”
Well, I was a mere slip of a toddler in the 50’s, flat chested and playing with dolls and once I put my mother’s bra on my head for fun.
I retired early, BTW.
“I also think what is the latest trend in lingerie is not necessarily what high school girls should be encouraged to wear.”
Nor do I, nor did I say I encouraged it for teen girls. But I’m not going to have a conniption if some boy gets an eyeful of a little nip through a shirt . The girl in question wasn’t trying to be provocative, she had a sunburn and if you’ve ever had a bad sunburn, bra straps are the devil.
"I wasn't alive in the 50's."
OK, strictly speaking that's not true. I was alive for the last month and a half of the '50's. However, I have no memory of 50's bras, not even a hazy recollection of my mother's nursing bra.
“OK, strictly speaking that's not true. I was alive for the last month and a half of the '50's. However, I have no memory of 50's bras, not even a hazy recollection of my mother's nursing bra.”
Haha, then you’re only a couple of years younger than I am.
“No, they are not only biology's way of feeding one's young. I suspect your statement here is why people think you were disputing that they are sexually attractive.”
No doubt about it and then they went even further and completely misconstrued my meaning. I should’ve been clearer and said the breast is not solely for the purpose of sexual attraction and feeding one’s young was paramount, but some folks were then, whooosh! off to the races and were hell bent on trying to prove some point I never was even arguing.
I’m not really concerned about what adults wear or do to their nipples. As far as I’m concerned high schoolers are kids and should dress age appropriately. That’s the age you teach them there is a time and place for things, and school is neither for nipples.
I do wonder about these women, this procedure and chafage. In my family (mother, sister, and myself) this is a word we say to each other and know that we are referring to nipple chafing. For us it’s a bra every day with enough padding for protection.

The only people bent out of shape are you and the twitterbots.
Unfortunately, the Germans don't have a word for this.
BUT-- there's always Dieter from Sprockets when he's in a good mood.
Not only are female breasts attractive, they’re something that women hold over men. Who here thinks that Melanie likes being married to the moob? Look how much trouble breasts have caused Trump. Most women are immune to this.
At the risk of stating the obvious, conspicuous female nipples are distracting as fu*k.

Ideally
"foisting this notion that unrestrained breasts are sexual and likely to cause disruption and distract other students,” when I was in high school nearly 40 years ago,they certainly were. None of us would even think of complaining. I'm sure it's the same today. It's weird that people deny this.

All together now -- to the tune of Yankee Doodle:
These are my boobs, they're soft and bouncy
And some times they're pointy,
Because I am a female mammal
You don't like it? Too bad!
Inga has obviously never had the pleasure of teaching High School kids. I don't give a rat's ass what she or anyone else thinks is wrong w/Western Civ's attitudes to breasts, teachers don't care either, they just have to deal w/it as is. So butt out & let them.
The idea that breasts are not sexual can only be supported if there is no link between sex and babies.
