Swedish Women Want Bare Breasts

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Monday, November 12, 2007 3:16 PM

TheFeed supports the same things feminists do. As long as our dinner is on the table when we get home from work, you gals can believe any damn thing you want. And you look adorable when you get passionate about politics.

The women of Sweden, though, are taking the whole equality thing even further and demand the right to bare their breasts in public pools. To make their point, protesters show up at swimming pools, take off their tops and go for a dip. That's what we call politics!

 "We want our breasts to be as 'normal' and desexualized as men's, so that we too can pull off our shirts at football matches," spokeswomen Astrid Hellroth och Liv Ambjörnsson told Ottar, a magazine published by the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education.

We support the beautiful women of Sweden and their fight to go topless.  As long as my dinner is on the table when I get home.

TheLocal: Topless Swedish bathers: 'They're just breasts'

(TheFeed jokes around a lot, but we actually think the Swedish women have a point. Also, that picture? It's a Blue-Footed Booby.)

Good luck with the whole desexualizing breasts thing.

I don't think I'd be able to hang out at a pool with a bunch of boobies flying around. (And I've seen my fair share of them in my lifetime.) Shrinkage would definitely not be an issue for guys anymore either. :D

This is such a horrible thing to force upon others! They are what they are and theres no getting around the fact that they will always be a symbol for sexual intensions. The oppisate sex cant really control the fact that seeing breasts will always bring on the wrong thoughts because thats what our minds are set to think! Its in our nature to think like that so for them to say get over it is a little extreme. Also the comparison to mens??? How is that even possible!!! Theres nothing there its completely different! These women just dont seem to make much sense if you ask me.

I know anyone that reads this is thinking "are you retarted?" but im just trying to point out the obvious facts to the reasons this shouldnt happen, that has nothing to do with my fantasy world were boobs are always bare! And YES I do want this to happen but I just dont get there thinking to much.

vferg, there are plenty of cultures in which breasts aren't regarded as sexual.

God Bless them ....

Keep up the good work ladies!

they shouldn't have a choice! take your shirts off

Desexualizing breasts is impossible. Human males are designed to find them attractive. If these feminists would do a bit of studying, they'd find that their breasts are designed to entice men as much as they are meant to feed babies.

...not that I'm complaining about them wanting to show them off.

they should desencitize men from sex by giving it to anyone who asks when ever they ask. one of my best friends is swedish, hes gonna be pissed he moved to america.

Yeah... it's called innate animal desire...? I know we're mostly guys posting on these boards all the time, but honestly, desexualizing breasts is inhuman, quite literally. Like, part of their whole point is to be sexual?

jhow much will i take to move to sweden

Posted by Trekie2 - Monday, November 12, 2007 5:58 PM

That combined with the pirate bay Sweden is starting to kick ass

Posted by Somegamer - Monday, November 12, 2007 6:38 PM

Even though it's a little impractical, they do have a legitimate point. Besides, men have breasts technically; they just don't contain working mammary glands and the fat deposits that give them their characteristic (and enticing) shape. ;)

I dont see what the big deal is, Im an art student at the college and i see em everyday, theyre nice beautiful and natural to women everywhere does that make me incapable of functioning around naked women? nope i talk to the models during breaks and they were nothing at all sometimes, I dont have a problem with it, it doesnt distract me at all. give it some time you'll get used to it. those of you who've had sex once in your life would understand.

This, along with video game violence, could lead to serious desensitization. Half the fun of breasts is imagining what the look like bare. The other half is imagining what it feels like to...well you get the idea. Please don't take that away from me. Now everytime you go to the pools in Sweden you'll just be like, "Oh, well I'll be damned."

Sometimes I gotta love my country :)

Sweet...if they want to do it, why stop them?

Posted by Bellamorte - Tuesday, November 13, 2007 6:02 AM

This is great until a 50+ year old woman does it...

Posted by play3rtwo - Tuesday, November 13, 2007 6:24 AM

No!!! Grandma!!! Put it back on!!!

Posted by panzerfist - Tuesday, November 13, 2007 6:34 AM

i definitely think for something like this you need a point system and only 8+ are allowed to do this

Posted by Ulrichgaming - Tuesday, November 13, 2007 6:58 AM
