Anyhow, my point's the only one on the table. You have made a great point. When anyone wonders what kind of prejudice, hypocrisy, and ignorance is behind nipple bigotry they can read your posts. .."nipple bigotry"? I'm arguing that female breasts- as you refer to them simply as "nipples"- are different from male breasts, and thus seen as more private and sexual to those who made the current laws. Look, the mod's asked me to be nice. And, in all fairness, I was being rough on you- I suppose. But how can you deny my point outside of constantly complaining you don't think it's fair? quote:
ORIGINAL: Mercnbeth What two things do all these statements have in common?quote:
- Breasts are involved in reproduction.
- Breasts are distinctly female.
- Breasts are sexual organs by definition.
- The current laws aren't unequal. breasts are private parts- sexual organs- like genitals.
- Breasts are sexual organs,
- Breasts are distinctly female.
In common? They were all made by you, and they are factually wrong. "Breasts are involved in reproduction." Made by me? I'll take your word for it. Wrong? No. See the following. quote:
ORIGINAL: "reproduction", Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary 1 : the act or process of reproducing; specifically : the process by which plants and animals give rise to offspring and which fundamentally consists of the segregation of a portion of the parental body by a sexual or an asexual process and its subsequent growth and differentiation into a new individual I'd like to draw your attention to "its subsequent growth". Now, this is to say that, reproduction includes the raising of a new life form. (If you don't agree, whatever, but don't argue with me when it's in the dictionary.) Breasts are used in breast feeding (hence, the "breast" in the term). Alright. On to the next. "Breasts are distinctly female." Again, I'll take your word on it that I said it. Wrong? Again, no. This time, I'll point to context. We're talking about female breasts. You know, the breasts you're "trying to free". While you can rip the statement out of context, it was saying, "Female breasts are distinctly female"- which is an obviously correct statement. Alright. Number three! "Breasts are sexual organs by definition." Yeah, I said this. Wrong? No. I already defined "sexual" and "organ" for you. Now, perhaps you're thinking of the compound noun, "sex organ". Stop confusing the two. There's another post with clearer definitions. Woot. Time for number four. "The current laws aren't unequal. breasts are private parts- sexual organs- like genitals." Did I say it? Back to taking your word on it. Is it wrong? Yet again, no. You see- the current laws don't let women show their nipples like men. This can be seen as unequal. (Something I'm surprised you're disagreeing with, since this seems to be your war cry.) Such laws consider breasts to be private parts- which I term "sexual organs" (again, by definition- argue with Merriam-Webster)- which also includes genitals. Revealing such private parts, or sexual organs, is against the law. This is a statement of the current state of law. I would hope that this is straightforward. Five and six, I'm skipping, since, well, you just repeated two previous points (word for word), for some reason I'm not going to bother with guessing. quote:
ORIGINAL: Mercnbeth And then there is this quote of yours: quote:
I do not believe the spirit is, "Male genitals need to be covered, and female genitals and breasts must be covered." Why, if they are as your were previously quoted "sexual organs - like genitals", did you need to reference them separately when referring to female genitals. Need to? Who said I needed to? I was speaking them individually to make this easier on you. (I really do perceive you as having problems understaning.) quote:
ORIGINAL: Mercnbeth If the common and accepted, or your common for that matter, reference to genitals automatically implied or inferred breasts, there would be no need to add the term to the sentence to make sure people knew you were including them in your attempt at a point. I never said female breasts were female genitals. I'm serious. Read the definition. You're mad because you're misunderstanding what I mean by it. quote:
ORIGINAL: Mercnbeth I know it has to be in simple terms for you, so I'll use another reference you employed. You use "red" to modify car because without it nobody would know that's what you were talking about. You used breast to modify genitals, because perhaps down deep, maybe even you don't agree with the illogic of your position. ..I never used "breast" to modify "genitals".. ... I may have to leave this thread to meet the mod's request to take it easy. I no longer think you're lying, but.. this.. this is... how can you make these mistakes? Sorry, I just.. I.. whatever. quote:
ORIGINAL: Mercnbeth But this may be your best example of self contraction, and backtracking: quote:
I think you may be confusing "sex organs" with "sexual organs"? ("Sex organs" is a term that typically refers to genitals and such, where as "sexual organs" are organs, or body tissue that serve a purpose, that are sexual, or of or related to gender.) Using your opinion as fact justifies the Islamic use of a body berka on females. Were your standards applied in the west, it would be required since for some; hair, feet, toes, necks, fingers, ears, lips, knees (especially the backs of knees), teeth, eyes, are all "sexual organs" capable of generating arousal. A: They're not my standards. I'm talking about the standards that exist in America today. B: There was no backtracking. That was explaining something you seem to be confused about. I'm trying to help you. Believe it or not, I don't enjoy being mad at you. I don't enjoy seeing people as less than intelligent. I don't come to these boards just to critize people who may not have quite the same IQ, and I don't think you have to be any sort of genius to get this stuff. I just want you to understand. quote:
ORIGINAL: Mercnbeth Your views enlighten many by illustrating the puritanical and incorrect beliefs that are pervasive. You are entertaining and funny; but you also serve to illustrate the naiveté and factual ignorance that must be addressed. You're only laughing at yourself. You're seeing something you don't understand, then critizing it, because, apparently, you can't get this. Please try to change this. And lose the ego.
