9. Breasts are symbols (and reality) of nurture and life
so obviously to a winger they are more obscene.

11. bare breast ... or violence against women?
I can't get over how so many people seem to think that the Janet Jackson incident was just a bit of innocent tit-baring that nobody should get all worked up about.

I saw it. My immediate, gut response was that I had just witnessed an appalling act of degrading sexual violence against a woman played out in front of millions of people ... consisting rather largely of men and male children in a particularly male-centric context, pro sports ... as an okay thing to do. Not an appropriate time and place for such a bit of artistic expression, if there were one anyway.

A man ripping a woman's clothing off and exposing her breast to an audience? Sorry, that's not entertainment, folks.

It matters not whether Jackson was a collaborator; the image and message conveyed was the same, whether she was a party to it or not. And it matters little whether Timberlake expected her to have underwear on; the act and the message were still the same.

And DU was one of the places where I'd thought I might see some acknowledgement of the nature of that act and message, and some recognition of the fuss about a bare boob being a bit of a smokescreen over the real problem. I didn't see a whole lot.

It is not prudery to object to a woman's clothing being ripped off and her breast exposed to an audience of football fans. Really.
