At one time, a man seeing a female's naked knee was equivalent to a man seeing a female's breast today.

At one time, a man seeing a female fully naked was the equivalent of a man seeing a female today too... because, you know, everyone was fully naked all the time, clothes hadn't been invented yet...

No, because people are wired to like boobs.

Not just people, mammals in general

If you don't like boobs, you might starve to death as a baby. So loving boobs is probably one of the most selected for traits for any mammal.

I lived in Haiti for three years. Breasts weren't considered private. After 2 months, I didn't even notice them. Interestingly, once I came back to Canada, they reverted back to being sexualized.

Interesting !

Reminds me of the Islamic concept of the Aura, which basically denotes body parts that should be covered in public. There's the so-called greater and the so-called lesser Aura. The greater Aura (= the body parts for which you commit a greater sin should you uncover yours in public or look at someone else's), goes from the navel to the knees. Thus, for a Muslim woman, it is less of a sin to go topless (as long as her pants cover all the way up to the navel) as it is to run around in a miniskirt or shorts.

I see "Daddy" used in TVB Shows... 👀

@NorthWestWind@lemmy.world So I hereby summon thee, our resident Hong Konger; is there like a sexualization of "Daddy" like there is in western countries?

Or do y'all just use the Cantonese word?

Daddy is used normally here. I can't think of a Cantonese equivalent off my head right now, but we have plenty of phrases describing different relationships types.

For example, 食軟飯 (eat soft rice) means a man being financially dependent on a woman.

Not even that. It's a myth. Most skirts were short enough to show the ankles because nobody wanted a muddy skirt.

It objectifies women

You could say men and women or you could say male and female. Just don't mix them together.

I appreciate your well actually here. I would just like to point out for future reference that any comment containing the question "are you high?" like that is most likely tongue in cheek.

Read this whole thread. No one in this thread is saying man and female is normal. They are saying male and female is.

Can you articulate what’s wrong with using the terms male and female? Or are you more of a braindead, one word comment kind of guy?

Talk about brain dead lol. Maybe you’re missing the tip level comment?

Excited to find out what super generic insult you have lined up as a comeback to this once you see that comment :)

I assume you’re trolling at this point if you’re pretending that you can’t scroll up in a thread lol.

Also, dude… “I’ll wait”?

Please try tactics that aren’t out of the Kindergarten version of “how to be an asshole online”

I guess I’ll hold your hand while we get there together.

Do you understand what that comment is saying?

Dude is rolling his eyes at someone using the term man and female. Expressing his disdain for someone using terms man then female.

So again I ask, where exactly is anyone saying this is ok?

I’ll wait.

P.S. quit complaining about me being an asshole. You can’t be an ass to someone, and then get upset when they are an ass back.

Yes I have. Holy shit guy. I said no one is saying man and female is ok, pointed out why, and you’ve come back with nothing.

I literally can’t comprehend what you’re on about. You haven’t articulated a single thing yet.

Oh we got a guy who can google debate terms? Wow I’m impressed. Imagine insulting someone in every message, and then getting upset they throw it back.

You’re a joke Jeff. My last few replies have genuinely been trying to understand what you are saying, and you come back with nothing every time. You’re now blocked. :)

Could it be this guy didn’t read the post lol? Where it says man and female? Or maybe he just misread the comment he was replying to, which was the part he got whooshed on originally.

If anyone reads this, you gotta love it. Dude was accused of ad hominems and replies with more ad hominems lol.
