Like Kids Don't See More On Their Cell Phones These Days

The facts are in dispute, but the central debate is whether it should be against the law for a woman to bare her breasts in front of her stepchildren. That's what happened in Utah, and the stepmom claims that a) it was hot and b) her husband was shirtless but wasn't arrested. The prosecutors, based on a Division of Child and Family Services complaint prompted by the children's mother, claim there was alcohol involved. But the larger topic is why society decided that women's breasts require constant covering and men's chests don't. Because the origin of that taboo is not clear at all. (Salt Lake Tribune)
