Question- If I were to take the area of the woman's nipples out of the
picture, and replace that area with a man's nipples, is that ok?

What cracks me up is that a woman's nipple is the single most useful item on
the breast.  It's like, showing a water fountain, but blacking out the
nozzle.  How did breasts get to be so obscene?  IMO, a thong bikini is more
obscene (and painful to think about), but is prevalent on too many shows on
USA and MTV.

But then, I have family members who are la Leche League advisors; I've heard
this frustration most of my life.  :-,

The only reason I can think up for this mixed-up logic about what's acceptable
is that the world is run by men.  If women ran the show, I bet we'd get vastly
different but equally illogical rules on what you could show.
