require women to keep their skin covered?  Should we restrict women from 
showing their curves, lips and hair?  After all, even her laugh can make men 
feel sexual.  Perhaps we should prevent women from dancing, too.
Why are breasts your concern, and not other parts of a women's body that may 
cause the same reaction you are concerned about? >>

I just love to watch the British House of Commons on TV, especially when the 
Prime Minister says, "I refer the gentleman to my previous answer," or 
something like that.

>From my earlier post, "I am "accepting" cultural conditioning because we do 
not live in Tahiti, for example, where, I understand, public toplessness is 
culturally accepted.  Even though this is, I believe, a liberal academic 
community, the uproar over the car wash has shown such toplessness is not 
generally accepted in Moscow."

In the case of your "other parts of the anatomy" question, they seem 
acceptable by the population in general.  I believe the term may be Community 
Standards.
