Yes! It seems odd that men can show their nipples, children in the very low single digits of age can run topless, and even men's bums are somehow less taboo and not as sexualized as females. Especially in American culture where sexuality is still taboo yet violence is a mother's milk. I enjoy a good violent film or video game, but we become so desensitized to our violent surroundings and taught to feel shame for our bodies that it leaves us in a sad state. I might be enticed by the female form, but the beauty in how we are sculpted through nature and nurture to exhibit so many differences and similarities is amazing. The variety of shapes and shades, the way we decorate ourselves per culture or individual flavors, the very essence of heart and soul shining through the very skin. It's a shame we can flash ammunition with pride, but our very hearts are to remain guised unless deemed appropriate by default of not fitting into an aged mass stigma slow to evolve. I feel like I should be ranting along with @aflalimo on this topic. Apologies for the length, but it is very crazy and I do speak from the heart too often. ❤
