HE SAID SHE SAID


There's no question that men and women view the world differently. In this column, TORO's Jesse Skinner and Erin Hershberg both weigh in with their respective opinions to your questions, whether tough or trivial.
Dear He Said, She Said:
I went out to eat the other day and a girl one table over busted out her boob like it was nothing? I totally saw the whole gigantic spectacle just before her baby started eating from it. Weird. Anyway, is this cool?
Sincerely,

Shakespeare wrote “I do fear thy nature, it is too full of the milk of human kindness.” But we’re here to talk about the milk of human boob, which is flowing out onto our mall food court tables and bus station benches nationwide. Throw a few greenbacks to some woman that looks like you, so the baby doesn’t confused, while you go out shopping. |
Yeah, so I'm a childless 33-year-old, what of it? I have two dogs and one is a puppy. I lie around topless in my house like any other stay-at-home-mom with nothing to do. And, occasionally my puppy tries to latch, yup, you heard me, MY PUPPY TRIES TO LATCH. So if you asked me if I would go around shirtless in public with my puppy suckling my "teet," I would say no...that's, perhaps, not acceptable. But if a young mom is out for brunch with her hipster husband and she wants to whip it out, I have no problem with that as long as A) she hides her swelling nodule and B) she doesn't squirt that shit anywhere near me. I'm totally lactose intolerant. But, of course, it's not about me. For dudes, I'm pretty sure the issue lies in the sudden, blunt awareness that boobs are not just for fondling. Like vaginas (uh-huh I used that word), they have a purpose. In other words, watching public breast feeding is akin to some stranger giving birth at the table next to yours, while you're sitting in a park, or crammed in an elevator. It's kind of weird. But, come on, suck IT up. No, not her "it," your it. God. You dudes never learn. |
