So why is it that women's nipples are so taboo? Men's nipples aren't, and as far as I can see, they are exactly the same. Hollywood shows all of the breast but nipples in non-R-rated movies. And, in America at least, it's illegal for a woman to breastfeed her baby in public.

What is up with that?

It's the history of guys and their infatuation with women's breasts, if our ancestors hadn't acted the way they did... breasts would be just like any other part of the body.
Pretty much this exactly. Angry fathers trying to protect their precious daughters from hormone-enraged adolescent boys. :/

If I'm not mistaken, women don't feel the same way towards a man's chest as men do towards a woman's. Breasts are definitely more sexual, and men's nipples just... aren't. :/

I see what you mean.

But a womans breasts are more sexual objects than a mans nipple and that is why they arnt allowed to show them

allthough its owuld be cool
First off, wow. It would be cool?? Um.... ok.

But the reason women's breasts are more sexual is because we have made it that way. Society has made it that breasts are taboo, because guys fancy them. EX: Allthough its owuld be cool. See what I mean?

A nipple is a nipple. I dont see why they are made such a big deal of. We all have them.

edit - Now after reading other responses, I now see why. Little boys like a few here would abuse it and make women feel uncomfortable and it would just be plain anoying to go to a movie when nipples are shown and all the little boys start giggling.

Why would women want to walk around with their breasts hanging around anyway?
I heard they get in the way quite often.

We all have them.
Some would beg to differ, lul.

HAZA: Point is, if we lived as women showing their breasts freely, little boys wouldn't act like that, since they'd be more used to it. :/

Thus, my friend, the enticement of nudist colonies.

Sorry, but there is no opinion on this, and you're all wrong.

Female breasts are a sign of sexual maturity. Our instincts tells us that if a woman has large breasts, they will be good mothers.

Why do men have nipples?

As you may know, every human being gets a unique set of 23 pairs of chromosomes at conception. These fall into two categories. One pair of chromosomes determines sex--the XX combination means you become female, the XY combination means you become male.
The other 22 pairs, the non-sex chromosomes (they're called autosomes), supply what we might call the standard equipment that all humans get. These 22 pairs constitute an all-purpose genetic blueprint that in effect is programmed for either maleness or femaleness by the sex chromosomes. The programming is done by the hormones secreted by the sex glands.
For example, the autosomes give you a voice box, while the sex hormones determine whether it's going to be a deep male voice or a high female voice. Similarly, the autosomes give you nipples, and the sex hormones determine whether said nipples are going to be functioning (in females) or not (in males).
So why are female nipples censored in media? Because they're functional, and a sexual object. Also, society says so.
Freedom is the freedom to say two plus two equals four. If that is granted all else will follow.

You make a good argument

And also yes people do make a mountain out of a mole-hill about them but could you imagine a topless woman walking down the street?

It would just be abit wierd

It's only weird because norms (like taboos, except weaker) say it's weird.

I think part of the reason a woman's nipples are so sexual is because showing them in public has been a taboo in western culture for so long. Besides, I would definatly not want to walk down the street without a shirt.
I've always hated nipples. I don't know why. :'|
Doll, you make them feel so small

I agree with HazaDivo on this one.

EDIT: That's very strange that you don't like nipples HoneyBubbles, your a chick yourself.

Being a girl doesn't mean you have to absolutely love nipples, lul.
