A hundred years ago, it was all about the leg.
A hundred years before that, ladies gowns were designed to show the nipple. But never anything below that.
So much of this really is a social construct.
When I was very young, women in my farm family nursed their babies out in the open and nobody cared. They did it in church just like all of the other women.
Women all over the planet run around topless for their entire lives. You should’ve seen the ‘normal’ ads that they had in Europe back in the 90’s.
We decide if something is ‘too low’ or ‘too high’ or “too much”. Right now, the group is working on a new standard.
Personally, with all the broo-ha-ha over breastfeeding, I’m leaning towards the liberals on this one issue. Values? I value the mother/child bond over everything.
Ever notice that societies where women go bare breasted don’t evolve much beyond the grass hut stage?
That’s because breasts are wonderfully distracting. It’s difficult to get anything done or even plan things to do when the naked beauty of the female body is displayed all about.
Best to keep them covered up except for a special person, time, and place. They last longer that way, too.
