No More Excuses, Pervs!

man-and-boobs-final.jpgOh man, the last thing we need on college campuses is more creepy guys gawking at young voluptuous college co-eds. Unfortunately, thanks to a rumor started about a supposed study published by the New England Journal of Medicine; perverts may attempt to cite actual health reasons for staring at our boobs.


By Abby

The study allegedly found that staring at women’s breasts for 10 minutes is “as healthy as a half hour in the gym.” It was said to be conducted over five years and the peeping Toms had “lower blood pressure, less heart disease and slower pulse rates (than) those who did not get their daily eyeful.” The research was supposedly conducted in Germany by a Dr. Karen Weatherby.

A great trick, I must say. Claim something was found and published in a study of a reputable journal and you might as well consider it gold.

But, alas, upon further research this “study” is just an urban myth. No such thing was ever published in the New England Journal of Medicine and no person named Karen Weatherby has conducted research even remotely related to this topic. My apologies to all the males who actually thought their drooling stares would somehow be beneficial in the long run.

    Alright, so my current beau's roommate has a FASCINATION with my boobs. While I agree that my jublees are magnificent, does he have to do it IN FRONT of my boy?! AND why doesn't hey say anything to him about it? It seems obvious to me he is staring. Maybe a "Hey Dude…Tina's tits are not community art!"

    Oh get over it. I am so tired of being chastised for natural, normal, healthy sexual urges. Calling a man a "perv" for looking at breasts is like calling a woman a "slut" for having premarital sex. Why are women so god damned defensive about this sort of thing? I have news: you can have autonomy of body without setting crazy standards for who can even LOOK at you.

    Yes, it is possible to spend an inappropriate amount of time looking at a pair of breasts. Yes it is possible to objectify a woman. But, in my experience, the standard for "creepy" is random and stupid. Guys are designated "creepy" if they are not attractive. I'm sure Brad Pitt could look at your breasts *far* longer than I could without being designated creepy. Being looked at does not hurt you, and it brings some joy to men. So please shut up and stop complaining that someone *gasp* found you attractive.

    Dude…while it I think my love pillows are worth the extra glance, do you need to stare?

    I am sure you all think it would be fun to have girls staring at your package every time you pass by, but believe me it gets REALLY OLD. I don't care if Brad and Justin had a tit-staring party in my bed – at least give me the benefit of SOME eye contact. Even my little brother knows not to stare, and he is 6!

    I can teach my dog discipline with a newspaper and some Scooby-snacks, why can't you testosterone-drones discipline yourselves from staring, or at least nod so I think you are listening to what I am saying.

    Hate to turn this into a diatribe, but the issue is about us being taken seriously. Don't let the Pussycat Dolls fool you – sex and empowerment is bullshit, I want you be listen to what I say no matter what view of my tits you have!

    (off soapbox)

    Your little brother hasn't hit puberty yet. Trust me if he doesn't turn out gay, he'll stare at tits.

    And I can't even believe this Abigail even thought she needed to post a blog about this story. When I first read it i knew it was just a joke, and yeah I forwarded it, but if you believed this story (whether you're a guy or gal) when it was emailed to you, then you're a moron.
