And in a nudist society, the societal rules against touching and staring are even more stringent, because of the communal risk that is accepted in removing one's clothing.
My biggest problem with Boobgate is that it just completely misses the point. In fact, it reminds me of a scene in "Pretty Woman" (and I can't believe I'm citing that particular movie in this discussion) in which Edward calls Vivian on the telephone and then mildly chastizes her for answering. The second time he calls her, he again says that he told her not to answer the phone, to which she responds, "Then stop calling me."
I feel the same way about men who mouth platitudes about getting past the objecification of the female form. It's this simple, gentlemen. Just stop doing it. Squeezing the boobs of strangers IMHO is not a necessary step on the way to enlightenment.
