        Idk what this comment means but yeah, that’s the point of the original comment. Neckbeards who call women “females” are weird

          What’s wrong with calling men males and women females?

            It objectifies women

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

    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…

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

        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.

    Some countries still don’t allow women to show their faces because its “indecent exposure” morality laws or whatever 🤦‍♂️

    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.

        Related: I wonder if “Daddy” is sexualized in places like say Singapore or Hong Kong…

        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.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
