    It has absolutely nothing to do with the government or its policies, for starters.

    If you think society should regulate expressions of long lasting attraction, you’ve got issues.

            I have a feeling it has nothing to do with regulating expressions of long lasting attraction between partners, but feel free to make your case

                  Reproduction is understood as the maintenance and continuation of existing social relations.

                  . In that application, it is used to explain the role of women in wider social and class structures, and their (often unrecognized) contribution to the capitalist economy via their (traditional) role within the household as both child-bearers and family caretakers, and by extension women’s role as providers of free labor that is necessary to produce and maintain current and future workers.

                  Men wouldn’t obsess over women’s breasts if they weren’t taught to by society, simple as. Plenty of cultures didn’t have this phenomenon, and think that it is weird that people do that.

                    How do you figure people feeling and expressing attraction for their spouse has anything to do with gender roles…?

                    And why do you care so much that it’s her chest specifically being admired? The comic’s message would still stand if it were her butt or hips. And it’d still have nothing to do with politics.

                    Pretty sure both men and women like boobs. Cause they are awesome. It has nothing to do with social reproduction.

                    Women have breasts because some prehistoric dudes decided they were good. It’s literally biological. No other animal (or not many) has massive tiddies like humans. They’re definitely the result of sexual selection.
