Boobs are so not a big deal here. However, everything from the waist to the knees are. So, all females are required to wear clothing that completely (and I mean completely) covers the hips, butt, thighs, and even the knees (these rules aren’t quite as strict for younger girls). On the other hand, it is entirely acceptable for females (even older females!) to wear shirts that show copious amounts of cleavage and to breast-feed anywhere, including meetings (I’m less shocked by the latter of those two norms). In fact, it is even culturally acceptable for young females (those unmarried and without children) to walk around entirely topless and while this is not a daily occurrence in the rural areas, it is surprisingly common in the extremely rural villages and cultural centers. Intriguing!
