Female body
A quick entry that will be honed later -
What annoys me are: The 'warnings' you get at the beginning of for example television programmes that 'female nudity' would be shown during the programme, excuse me, did I just hear that? This 'warning' should never even be concived of - what is there to be warned of in the female body? does the female body surprise you? does it offend you? (if it does you're weird)... this warning is bundled together with warnings such as 'warning scenes of plastic surgery' and 'warning scenes of violence', this 'female body' warning is completely unfounded, offensive, and totally disproportionate. it teaches kiddies that the female body is 'other' and maybe fobidden and dangerous, what about teaching men and women respect for bodies as a whole, not warning them about it. have you never seen a naked woman before? will you never? why is this victorian indecent attitude to nakedness retained in 2010? How dare people who write these 'warnings' group the female form with warnings about operations and sexual explicity etc. what is unnatural about female (and male) external sex organs? lobby the tv stations who 'warn' that nudity is shown to stop using these warnings. per-leez, hjaelp.
