Post got locked - why England is upset about Kate Middleton breast photos [View all]

in many ways, men thing that they are superior to women. They "protect" us. By that, I mean that we are seen as a comodity.

What they don't realize is that women are more than capable of protecting themselves, and I kind of have an argument against this outrage for one reason.

Kate Middleton's breasts being displayed makes her no less a person, no less stronger of a person, just a person whose breasts were desired to be seen. Prince Harry was butt naked. He didn't apologize for it, and no one was appalled.

Frankly, If I'm famous enough that my breasts on display is of national interest, I think I've pretty much done a good job of being human. This fixation with the modesty of women in our nation is part of the problem. You've heard it "Tits displayed or you don't matter". People don't beg men to display their penis.

Most men are actually afraid to display their penis because it isn't very big. They want women to display their breasts, and we are very capable of doing that, but understand, this comes from a place of insecurity in men, not in insecurity of women.

We know what our breasts are ultimately for, feeding children, and men know that ultimately, their dicks are only useful in the function of creating children for about 2 minutes, and then they get off of their asses and work to raise their children. If they are decent men.

It's insecurity.
