Date: 2008-04-23 06:27 pm (UTC)The Open Source *Boob* Project.
The biggest class of people I hear use the term "boob" on a consistent basis is adolescent males. If it was all about *equal* access, the naming and terminology (and yes, I read the comments where after-the-fact it was revealed that males were being touched and that other areas were being touched) should reflect that. But, no -- straight to the chest, and the original post was all about the wonders of groping female breasts.
Combine that with the whole "not getting to touch breasts in high school" line of commentary, and yeah, it *does* come off with a distinct whiff of adolescent masturbatory fantasy. All the hasty add-ons and affirmations from other people aside, that spect still stands out in theferrett's writing. He may have merely done a poor job of writing up this wonderful idea, but (in my experience) "from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks."
