Pacific posting. One day the locals invited the families from the British base for a big get-together. It was going really well but after a few hours the British women noticed that a lot of the local babies were crying, so my friend asked one of the mothers if there was something wrong, like a bug going round or something. The mother replied,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh no, they\u2019re just very hungry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So my friend asked, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you feed them?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And the mother said, \u201cWe will when you\u2019ve gone. We use our breasts to feed them and we don\u2019t want to embarrass you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And my shocked friend said, \u201cBut we do that too!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So all the British mothers who had babies sat down and whipped out their boobs to feed them (whether they were hungry or not) and the relieved local mothers then did the same.<\/p>\n<p>Two things:<\/p>\n<p> &#8211; because western ladies usually cover their boobs the local ladies weren\u2019t sure whether western women use boobs for what they\u2019re supposed to be for<\/p>\n<p> &#8211; women everywhere are considerate of other women<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I also really love this photo set because, far too often, we only see pictures of African women as anthropological archetypes. They are treated like exhibits to be studied, similar to exotic animals or landscapes, rather than human beings. <br \/>I LOVE these pictures, because here we have women of two different cultures laughing and talking and playing around. You can see their personalities shining through and I LOVE IT<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Women \ud83d\ude4c\ud83c\udffe<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>featherleaf: the-laughofthemedusa: scarimor: westwoodandthebeegees: devilpetal: zorobro: transhumanisticpanspermia: I love everything about this photoset The lack of condescension in cultural sharing The nonsexualization The contextual foreignness of firm breasts in a society that doesn\u2019t use bras This is funny and charming By far one of my favorite posts.
