Professor Snuggles:
Why doesn't this thread have more pictures of hella rude titties in it, is what I want to know.

a bikini on its own might not imply sex or subservience, and neither might a barista serving a customer, but an establishment in which a customer base comprised primarily of men is being served exclusively by very attractive half-naked females sure could. how is that irrational? you don't have agree with me that it's creepy, but it can't be that hard to at least understand what that could symbolize and why it would be disconcerting to some.

It's a context thing, due to societal norms, like I mentioned in my post before. And if you feel that societal norms are a dumb reason, then I humbly disagree, because I think societal norms are a pretty important thing for maintaining cohesive communities.

Depends on the society and on the norms in question.
jhocking:
what are you talking about, all societies are exactly the same
