So a nipple is now the equivalent of a reproductive gland?

News flash: a nipple is connected to a female reproductive gland.

This just in: a woman is not a man. Women have more reproductive glands than men.

A nipple is an exocrine gland, not a reproductive gland. It is intended to FEED the product of the reproductive glands, but that no more makes it a reproductive gland than the fact that a mothers arms hold a baby make THEM a reproductive gland.

Women are not men. Yes, thank God! Now that we have the obvious out of the way, do you think naked breasts are inherently immodest and offensive?

When the Athenian women met the Spartan women they were SHOCKED at their “immodesty”, for the Spartan women wore short skirts while the Athenian women wore long skirts. To the Athenian women the Spartan women were immodestly showing off the legs, those long supple legs that led right up to.... you know where!

So where the Spartan women immodest? By Athenian standards they certainly were.

But by our standards, it would be the Athenian women who were immodest - because they went about with breasts uncovered and often painted nipples.

Now imagine, if you will, a bunch of women with bare breasts and painted nipples telling women with exposed legs that they were immodest. Funny!

Guess I missed that in advanced A&P. Does a man's nipples go to his reproductive gland also?

Sorry dude, but the mammary is not a reproductive gland. It is a feeding gland for the infant after reproduction, but it is not a reproductive gland.
