It seems, according to the Discovery Channel website, as if women baring their breasts in public was neither objectionable nor unfashionable during several periods of British history, including the 1600s. Funny how conservatively we portray history, compared to how it really was.
And they would be amused, wouldn’t they, at the shock and scandal over such a little, insignificant thing as Janet Jackson’s breast on TV? Take that, smug sense of modernity.
