:Agree completely. (However there's a minor terminology issue issue in that nonhuman animals have "a breast" but do not have "breasts," which are called something else e.g. "teats.") [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 06:02, 17 April 2007 (EDT)

::I do, too. Probably won't have much of a chance to do anything about it today. Should the article be moved to "Mammary glands?" Probably not. Probably "Mammary" and "Mammary glands" should redirect to this article, and the opening should be rewritten to say something like "Mammary glands, referred to in humans as 'breasts.'"

:Re the edit comment the one about "raised eyebrows," I agree with that too, and have excised what I call the "comparative ethnography," which seemed too vague, too non-expert, and almost seemed to me to have a tone of promoting a reduction of the U. S. taboo. The idea of European countries being "freer" in such things I think is a legacy of the situation in the 1950s (or even World War I). [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 06:10, 17 April 2007 (EDT)

Hardly any readers would be old enough to recognize a reference to "the matronly ladies of the Helen Hokinson cartoons," would they? Too bad, they would be the perfect example of (overly) modest or "conservative" dress. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 06:02, 17 April 2007 (EDT)
