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. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca [S] 15 points 5 months ago (2 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] medem@lemmy.wtf 6 points 5 months ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca [S] 2 points 5 months ago Interesting.

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. permalink fedilink source parent
