I think the conversion table Cook et al came up with in 1960 still works well enough, admittedly it does lack nuance.

So did it swing our what? I’ve heard a lot of people sing “England Swings” and I always knew it had something to do with a penis.

“I apologize for being a little prick.”
You equate breasts with genitalia? How old ARE you?

Old enough to know that both, in our society, when bared in a public place, are sexual, for better or worse.
(I’m probably going to regret this)
What about breastfeeding in public?
I agree with your essential point that Grundy didn’t assault or harass anyone (I wouldn’t use the word “consenting” but there’s too much to unpack there for the scope of this comment).
But I was responding to a comment implying Grundy shouldn’t have apologized. A thing you did in the past that ranks merely as “embarrassing” can rise to “apology-worthy” when you are later elected to office.
When I think about it a lot more deeply than I thought I was going to, I think about how somewhere in the UK someone from Leigh has gone to work and one of their friends has said, “Hey, did you see your MP’s dick yet?” and has felt a little embarrassed. That’s who Grundy is apologizing to.

Of course that’s perfectly fine, jeez. Do you not think there is a difference between flashing breasts at, say, Mardi Gras or in a bar, and breast feeding? Really?
Working for a high pressure company with thousands of employees on site, one gets to see and hear many, many unusual things; it can’t be helped: My first couple of years in, and we observed an irate draftsperson involved in a loud argument with another draftsperson who (we later learned) had just checked one of irate guy’s drawings. Irate guy unzipped, pulled out his penis, picked up a wastebasket and – while pointing/waving his penis at the wastebasket – yelled, “This to you! This to you!” at the other guy. This happening in SoCal, one could (and still can) throw a rock and have a fair chance of hitting someone with some connection to the entertainment industry. Irate guy’s daughter was a TV chef back then, so the subsequent in-department jokes about the penis waving/wastebasket affair and his daughter (she with her stirring ladle and big stew pot) were inevitable. (Any requests for names will be ignored; sorry.)
