Braille that says"suck here"

If I recall correctly from my days as a father of young kids (and some rapturous reading on the topic of breat feeding), the "bumps" are in fact specialize oil-secreting glands.  A nursing woman is subjected to some substantial wear and tear on her nipples.  The bumpy glands that we manly heterosexual men find so intriging secrete a waxy/oily substance that serves as a skin conditioner for the surface of the nipple.  Think of them as itty-bitty oil depots.

On the subject of women...the whole purpose of the female mind and body is to have and nuture the young.  It is in that role that women are in their fullest glory.  Our society has sadly turned women into little more than a life support system for a vagina.  The concepts of plastic surgery and pornography have lessened the value of women while vainly attempting to make a few temporarily more attractive.  If women were valued for their intrinsic value, maybe we men would be valued the same way, rather than a merely sources of money and comfort for an increasingly vapid female population.

Mahatma8Rice,

Interesting observations.  I myself am bothered by the attempt of people to stay young looking forever.
Nothing wrong with staying in shape, but I wish people wouldn't resort to all the artificial methods (botox, surgery, etc...) and just stay out of the sun a little more, and get to the gym once in a while.

Hmmm very educational. So why to males have nipples???

i hope there are no bums around my GF's nipples

I couldn't agree more.  And we have further denigrated the woman's body and role by forcing them into the workplace to earn wages, and even by allowing them to have voting and property rights.

As to why men have nipples, all people start out as women in the womb... but as they develop, some parts don't develop (uterus, ovaries), and some new parts do develop (penis, testicles). But nipples are one of the remnants of that beginning.

LOL Dammit Mine escaped again! I thought I had her firmly tied to the wash board!!

 

She won't get far if you followed the rules.  Remember, barefoot and pregnant.

why do women have smaller feet than men?
so they can stand closer to the stove!

Probably there feet are smaller so when they kick you in the ass they won't have any trouble pullin it out!!

Amen. Minus the sarcasm.

If you have misinterpereted my comments as "women should be barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen," then I offer my sincere sympathies to you.  My mother was a wife and mother first and foremost.  She was also tough, resourceful, opinionated, moral, and tough as a boot.  She was born into poverty, survived the Dust Bowl and put herself through teacher's college during the depth of the Depression.  He made ammunition and inspected bomber engines during the war.  She married my Dad, gave him four children (who never spent so much as an hour in jail) and hauled herself and us kids from Kansas to Utah to Guam to Missouri to France and finally to Texas as a devoted military wife.  This was in the day when all the airliners were prop jobs.  Her transfer to Guam was on a converted transport ship with small kids.  She endured a typhoon on the outbound voyage.  Wherever we ended up, Mom provide a clean, safe home with ample food and a strong level of discipline.  She never had air-conditioning until the mid-1960s.  She cared for my Dad as he slowly died of cancer.  At the same time, she completed her college education while in her 40's and supported her three sons after Dad died.  She was a great elementary school teacher who loved her students and demanded the best of them and herself.  She neither drank nor smoked.  She was never unfaithful to dad.  When she died young (at 53), she was grieved by family, friends, and coworkers.

Mom was a hell of a good woman and the concept of barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen never described her.  If that concept is what you think a being Mom and a Wife is (as opposed to an extra income and in-house whore-on-call), then I am saddened for you.  Maybe only people with good mothers can fully appreciate what a good wife can and should be.

Ahh, good ol' protest warriors.  That's great.


Back on the subject, guys have them too, so what's the big deal?

Mahatma - good post.  I got your message and I agree. Mothers are in the workplace nowdays to pay the extra tax burden we all carry and little else.  There is no way the absence of a mother at home can be good for the family unit.  

Gotta back you on this Mahatma, I was starting to wonder if anybody had noticed

After considering what the major movers of feminist theory say about "body politics" and men's "objectification of women", I have to say that I'm really more of an ass man myself.

Mahatma-------you hit the nail on the head.  I could not agree more.  Thank you for putting my thoughts into words.

Since when did we get a member that makes rational,  well reasoned arguments like Mahatmarice is making?  Can't we get  back to stuffing them in the pooper and posting pics like usual?  Man is this place going downhill......


Good call Mahatma,  I totally agree with you.

Mahatma,
Good posts!
