Boobie Blunder?

North Carolina Republican Rep. Rayne Brown wants to criminalize female breasts, considering it a Class H felony if they are exposed in public.  If a woman is caught exposing her breasts in public, she can expect to spend thirty days to six months in the slammer.  Rep. Rayne Brown and other Republicans initiated a proposal of breast banning because of an annual Asheville, NC women’s rights topless protest.  An earlier law from the seventies prohibited exposure of private parts in public, but the law only banned exposure of sex organs. Women’s rights groups swam through the loophole, exposing areolas and breasts as a way to draw notice to their causes.  Nursing mothers are excluded from Bill 34.  The article also notes that “no one questions the nipple-exposure of Abercrombie and Fitch gentlemen who stand bare-chested in a place where minors frequent.”

Ladies in protest?  Really?  The really obscene boobs, such as Rep. Rayne Brown, need to get their priorities straight.  For thousands of years, women have suffered oppression under a man’s iron fist.  Women have been banned from anything that seems to distract men, from wrists, to ankles, and good ol’ female breasts.  By sexualizing the female breast and areola, I believe that Rep. Brown has parted from any sense of gender equality that she could bring to her platform, and is trying to send the South backward into a culture of obligatory female domestic servitude and sexism.
