what is the protocol?

Homeowner, I think that is a different kind of embarassment. I think I would tell him, but might take a guess at how he would react in advance. For example, when a woman gets embarassed they might blush and/or get off at the next station.

For some reason some men might think I have threatened or challenged their masculinity, and decide to punch or threaten me.

As per WCW, seeing a boob on subway = good.
As per Whynot, seeing a penis and then getting punched or threatened = bad.

So,
41 y/o while males (41WM) have an Obligation to point it out directly to Boob Lady: 3
41WM's have an Obligation, but it can be met thru intermediary: 1
41WM's have no obligation what so ever: 1
41WM's can be unsure, there is no obligation: 1

.....Drunken Rivival (the present honorary holder of the Brooklynian Horndog title) is going down! No one has successfully talked about breasts for this many posts. The title will soon be mine! (cue "Eye of the Tiger" Rocky music).

Hamilton can keep his silly title, I didn't want it anyway. =P~

Not everyone has the time or desire to read every thread. I felt clarification was needed.

This thread is about some anonymous subway rider who is now the subject of endless banter about what to do in such situations, and it started out having very little to do with race.

...by moving it to the infamous Lounge it has evolved/devolved into more than I ever dreamed: The chance to take the Horndog title from DR.

He has been neglecting it, and I'm gonna take it.

Stay. On. Topic

If this thread gets a page two, I'm declaring myself the winner. ah, the ways to fill an afternoon.

Just a few most posts people, you can do it.

Hmmm. Doesn't work as well without a calculator. And the extra 2 dozen+ years since I'd last done it....

Firstly : LOCK YOU BREASTS! :shock:

Ahmm, Whynot. My GFF. #-o


He's not a racist for sure.

Anyway, about the boob, lol, umm. . .next time STOP STARING AT IT, and then alert the woman without making a scene. That's what I would do if it was a man or a woman.

P.S. You should replace your "former lurker" title with "horndog". :twisted:

But on the other hand, there was that "pro-topless" court ruling back in the 90s. I haven't followed that matter, but does anyone know if Giuliani got the ruling reversed?

Don't know if it follows for the subway, but here are pics from this weekend's Topless Day Protest (it is still legal to be topless in NYC)

are you sure thy weren't taken at the sagamore in lake george.

Em, I will do this if we get a page 2. I promise.

I'll do it even though I'm sort of annoyed you are helping Hamilton retain his title. I'm cool like that.

I tried not to stare, but it was all so wonderful. WCW is right.

i'm with you whynot, it's two pages or bust.

It is only the number of posts, not the length of each post that determines when a thread goes to another page.

10 more are needed here. Actually, now 9.

Fine, racist horndog, whatever.

Yay for page two! :cheers:

Two pages about. . . . . a boobie. :scratch:

Not just any boob Em, a free range one!

sorry buddy, this is so *not* a horndog thread

Whatchuwant wrote: Seriously, what's with the color lines?!?!?!

It can't be just me who wants to know what the frig you being a "white man" in the presence of "black" boob has to do with the situation.....

Whatchuwant,

Whynot originally posted this narrative in response to my posts on another thread. He compared my posts to the black woman's escaped breast (http://www.brooklynian.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=58977).

In the original thread, I observed whynot threatening to "out" a black man who has been very vocal about racial issues on this board. In other words, whynot said he could and would make this man's identity known on the board. He later denied that there was a threat involved. I will not discuss this event anymore.

In its original context, the race of whynot's "boob" was important to whynot. The black breast must have triggered an association in his mind with my posts.

Krow

"The black breast must have triggered an association in his mind with my posts. "

Whynot quit thinking about Krow's breasts!!

Also, the mature black breast is a profound symbol culturally. We don't attach the same meanings to the white breast. For this reason, the nobel prize winner, Toni Morrison, has used the symbol of the black breast often. I suggest reading "Song of Solomon" or "Beloved" to see how her work uses this symbol.

Given the collective cultural meanings behind this particular symbol, I don't think that whynot would have offered up the example of an exposed white breast. I'm certain that he will object though to say that his example was race-blind.

All breasts are great, no matter what color

Um, as someone who was raised in the US, race is one of many factors that I use to see everyone around me. I would like to believe, however, that it is not my sole or primary lens.

As a result of riding on the subway and living in Brooklyn, black women are not remarkable to me. I submit, in this case, that the most memorable and noticable part of this woman was her breast.

I know.

But horndog is such a great word, and this thread caused me to use it. So, while it is really about a slightly awkward situation and one's responsibility to intervene, to me it will forever be remember as "the horndog thread".

Others may remember it as evidence of inner failure and haphazardness, perhaps even "racism".

Next time I'll describe it as supple, ample, Lucious or something like that so I get everyone off on the right foot.

I probably would have ended up with less thoughtful posters though.

I suspect I'll be inducted into a college fraterity against my will as a result.

Actually, pics are better. Pics are always better.
Headless, of course!

My real agenda is a page 3

we need more bored voters. We need more voters to weigh in on the protocol question.

Krow only Gave context.

all I know is that if I ever see an exposed WHITE breast on the subway, I'm going to have to document the entire situation and take pictures of the boob so I am not perceived as a pervert, sexist, or racist. This is a great plan

WCW will get what she wants, and I'll be vindicated here. (but probably in jail in real life)

MOD NOTE: whatever that non-protocol, non-breast, non-subway digression was in this thread, it's been moved.
