At one time, a man seeing a female fully naked was the equivalent of a man seeing a female today too… because, you know, everyone was fully naked all the time, clothes hadn’t been invented yet…
At one time, a man seeing a female's naked knee was equivalent to a man seeing a female's breast today.

Some countries still don’t allow women to show their faces because its “indecent exposure” morality laws or whatever 🤦♂️

No, because people are wired to like boobs.
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.

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.

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.

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?

I mean, we all know that women are just…completely covered in skin, right? They’ve got it all over them.

In men it’s the third layer down under hair and grease.

And seeing her breast was like seeing an MRI.

Idk what this comment means but yeah, that’s the point of the original comment. Neckbeards who call women “females” are weird
