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.
Related: I wonder if “Daddy” is sexualized in places like say Singapore or Hong Kong…
I see “Daddy” used in TVB Shows… 👀
@NorthWestWind@lemmy.world So I hereby summon thee, our resident Hong Konger; is there like a sexualization of “Daddy” like there is in western countries?
Or do y’all just use the Cantonese word?
Daddy is used normally here. 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.

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.

Interesting. It would sure attract the tourists.
