Breasts Uncovered

Bare breasts are part of a British tradition started by The Sun's Page Three in 1969. In recent years publications such as The Daily Sport and the lads mags have joined in the fun. Now retailers across the nation have a bevy of breasts on display. Apparently bare breasts are now part of a great british tradition started by saucy postcards from Blackpool.

Yet a mother in Boston (UK) is forced to breastfeed her baby in public toilets due to public attitudes towards breast-feeding and a lack of breast-feeding facilties.

"I wouldn't mind doing it in public, but some people think it's disgusting and give you funny looks. But what are you supposed to do?"

It is a very strange world when a mother can't breastfeed her baby in public yet three and half million people buy The Sun every day. If you walk into any newsagent or supermarket you will find plenty of practically naked women in sexually provocative poses on the covers of both lads magazines and national newspapers.

Yet the british public cannot accept a mother breast feeding her baby. The message is clear in our society uncovered breasts are certainly acceptable for public consumption but only if they titillate.
