Baggs
Why do women want to show their cleavages? Female version of builders' bum.
NB This is not saying women can't wear what they like, just asking why would they want to dress in certain ways? I honestly don't get it.
surely you do know, because they are thought to be sexually alluring, in the west anyway.
in africa breasts are seen as something of interest to babies, not men.
i don't think the builder's cleavage has ever been regarded as alluring to anyone. more as sloppy, unaware, not properly dressed. so there is no comparison.
the idea of women being sexually alluring is linked to their power, over men, and more generally.
it is a highly complex cultural idiom.
ideas of status also come into it. having a good figure.
