[QUOTE="Arkanin, post: 45830686, member: 15308"] I'd like to think the underlying value which our law exists to uphold is personal freedom, that is to say that ultimately, the law protects your personal [I]rights[/I]. In legal philosophy, for every right of this kind, there's a corollary duty; e.g., you have a right not to be punched, and I have a duty not to punch you. One of our rights is to not have to see people flap their genitals around in public if you don't want to, hence, corollary duty. ;) Those rights and duties are ultimately determined by our cultural norms and our biological drives. Our cultural norms happen to sexualize female breasts way more than male ones, so that's just how it works out. The double standard is intrinsically cultural and much of our legal protection is based on cultural norms (drinking age, drugs, age of consent et. al.). I know that you want one, but there isn't some deeper or more profound explanation for this part of the law much less any law. Interesting fact: a very reasonable amount of research suggests that male attraction to female breasts is far more a result of our culture than our biology. Also: I'm troubled by some of the sexism in this thread. [/QUOTE]
