Only breast

A new movement appeared in Sweden, the "Bara Bröst" movement, that you can translate by "Merely Breasts". It all came from 2 women deciding to drop the top of their swimsuits in a public swimming pool. They were thrown away, because it is indecent, sexual etc etc. Frankly, I support those girls so much.

What they say is true (see website http://barabrost.blogg.se/ there is an English section). Breasts are considered indecent and highly sexualised just because men decided it was this way! It makes me think to this marvelous film "Persepolis" I saw, where Marji is actually questioning the veil. Aren't men civilized enough not to be sexually aroused by some hair?? And by breasts? Aren't we aroused when they can walk and go on the beach and even in supermarkets (Southern France specialty, nice to go and shop for a steak!) with a bare chest? And what about the advertisement then? It is not acceptable for a woman to swim bare chest but it is if a half naked one does show a lot of her to sell yogurts?? What is the fucking logic of all that except another way of controlling women's body by declaring this part or this part is OK if you are an object (i.e. advertisement, prostitution), but not if you are an "honorable" woman. In Sweden the body is considered as natural, being naked is not shameful or to be hidden, it just is a part of yourself that you have to protect and that should be considered as yours and only yours. It is a very sane approach to the body, desexualised if you don't want it to be.

So I say, go sisters! Drop the top!
