pregnancy after weight loss surgery forum
Ahh boobs. Theyre everywhere arent they? Almost daily they are in the press. From a woman apparently waving them around her head in a posh restaurant whilst breastfeeding, to a woman breastfeeding in the swimming baths or maybe even the ten year old that is still breastfed. Then there are the mums who dare not to use their boobs to feed their baby. And then theres the mums that dare do. The women whos tops are too low. The woman who has no boobs. The woman who has huge boobs. And if you havent quite had enough of boobs yet, theres always page three where you can see pictures of them, just so you definitely know what they look like. Today, I heard on the news that the British tabloid, The Sun, are no longer going to be printing pictures of topless women on their page three, and you know what? I actually felt compelled to write a blog post to mark the occasion.
The Sun newspaper, apparently (thanks Google), has a daily circulation of around 2.2 million copies. Thats alot of copies. Thats alot of readers. What I find interesting is that up until this week, you could open this newspaper and see a picture of a topless woman. And for me, it really isnt about the page three model. If you want to model with your top off, then thats your free choice and decision. Page three to me, represented boobs as being primarily for male gratification.
I find it funny that some men (not all) are happy to stare at boobs in a newspaper, but at the same time they are agog when you use one to actually nourish and feed an infant. Especially near Nigel Farage. And for the record, as a mum who breastfed, I can honestly say I never once stood up in a restaurant and waved them about for all to see. Quite frankly, I have no intention of showing the world my boobs, and even if I wanted to, I didnt have the time, I had a screaming baby wanting to be fed.
The same men overlook the bit about that boob providing everything a baby needs for the first six months of that little ones life. That makes boobs pretty amazing to me. Alot more amazing than just getting them out. But its not just about breastfeeding. Page three, to me, represents the notion that boobs are there to be leered at. It represents those wolf whistles you get on the street, those comments when you are out and when you dont know where to look. That notion that you are just a body. The notion that all you are is how you look.
Will this mark a change in peoples views of the female body? I think changing page three will change nothing overnight, but I hope it goes some way to society seeing the person beyond the boobs. And maybe, just maybe, it starts the way for woman to no longer be objectified by society. That woman arent just boobs. In fact we arent just anything.
How would I even begin to explain page three to my toddler? Well, I just wouldnt. But what I do hope for my daughter is that when she is older, she can walk down the street without wolf whistles, without feeling embarrassed. I hope she can feel respected by society as the clever and intelligent girl that I know she will be. So much more than her appearance. And so so much more than a pair of boobs.
