Well it took me a few days to see what all the Janet Jackson fuss was about. This just confirms to me that America is really as Puritanical as it was in the 18th century. Well, maybe not that much, but still quite prudish. The fact that the exposing of a female breast creates such a huge amount of anger and shame in this country is sad. We've sexualized and objectified the human body so much that the mere glance or view of a body part creates tons of furor and attention. Yet, we're barely bothered by the violence we're fed in the media every day. Imagine if we spent as much energy on communicating essential things like needs and feelings with each other as much as we did on telling each other what's wrong and shameful about our bodies. Now that would be something.
