I was watching a movie on TV last week (don't recall its title) in which a woman was walking around topless. For what ever reason, I happened to check the on-screen program guide description and noticed it was rated R--no surprise--but I also noted that it carried no "N" for nudity rating. Tonight I happened upon another movie The babysitters, in which one of the teen girls is bare breasted, and in checking the description of the movie I again found that while rated R, it carried no "N" designation for nudity.
In the past, bare female breasts always seemed to warrant a "N" advisory, but evidently no longer.
So my question here is: Do you think this change in the movie guides, one that no longer considers bare female breast as qualifying as nudity, a good one or not? And why?
Bare Breasts No Longer Qualify

Or, people could get more modest again, and require more covering up. Anything to rebel against the previous generation!Lucia wrote:I'm not sure. Perhaps it will become socially acceptable for women to walk down the street without covering up our breasts.

This is only speculation, obviously. Why do you ask?
“What do you think science is? There is nothing magical about science. It is simply a systematic way for carefully and thoroughly observing nature and using consistent logic to evaluate results. So which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?�
