72. i meant to say farts openly

without excusing themselves just like a guy would. I was trying to be funny but it didn't come out quite right.

I've seen women belch in bars before and I think it's kinda cool.

13. Time and place.

If they belch in a place where it will bring embarassment, that is uncool. If it's hanging around the back yard having a bar-b-que, no problem. Belch away. No complaining if we out-belch you though.

Hey, if she's comfortable with you like that, then that's really cool. But not at church or at the parents house.

19. depends on the context

is it sexist to feel differently about belching women than about belching men?

or should we all just live and let live when it comes to eructation?

37. Belching, farting

spitting, etc. are the bodies natural defenses. Holdind it in is not good for you. Woman have higher bronchitis rates because thay don't spit out th phelgm but swallow it, etc.

51. I still am curious about the sexism question though.

Edited on Sun Jul-31-05 12:06 AM by leftofthedial

another one of those troubling "where is the line" questions.

It does seem that society accepts a double standard when it comes to belching and farting.

Why?

I always figured that everybody--male and female--has biological um, forces, at work. One should just usually be discreet and everything is fine.

Sometimes, though, the context calls for disinhibition.

68. around my house, everyone kind of expects Daddy to belch

but if Mom did, it would be big news.

(I know first-hand that she belches plenty.)

If the younger daughter belches, she invariably makes a big show of it and the belch disintegrates into a fit of giggling. (She seems to aspire to join the Maddy McCall class of belching.)

54. I have an 11 year old son.

I'm trying to teach him a few manners. Loud burping is one that gets him sent away from the dinner table. :D

However, I can sing the ABCs in one belch. :D I guess that makes me a hypocrite. :shrug:

53. Hi, Progmom! OK...

belching and farting are of course, natural bodily functions. BUT there is no reason to be loud or obnoxious about them...I try like hell to let all of mine out quietly, unobtrusively...like that...How do you like my $20. words? LOL

This is my take on the subject, and I'm sticking to my views!

65. those are very nice $20. words

and usually i am with you. but every once in awhile - and much less frequently now that i have to be a great mom and role model, but every once in awhile the occasion calls for a really loud belch. especially when one is drinking beer. :shrug:

75. When in adult company, then that is different...

Of course, when you drink beer, and are feeling just a little bit high or whatever, then of course, really loud belches are appropriate!

I don't drink beer; therefore I keep my belches under wraps, and that's just fine with me!
