Recently, via Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, a campaign called Free the Nipple has galvanized a gender equality movement that is taking the internet by storm and generating many publicity stunts, peaceful protests, and court cases challenging city and state laws on the matter. The campaign released a feature length theatrical/documentary style film on December 12th by the same title.
The reason for Dauntless Dialogue’s interest in this topic is threefold – firstly, this gives us a Polaroid of the contemporary Westerner’s emotional and psychological profile. Secondly, this topic is a Trojan horse to discuss gender equality and sexism as it stands today. Thirdly, this subject is symptomatic of the demonization of nature.
We All Have Nipples… Why Censor Something Harmless?
While men and women vary anatomically and physiologically in many ways including hormonal, biochemical, nutritional, cognitive, and muscular differences, we both share virtually the same outward appearance… excepting our nether regions. However, men and women have in common the presence of two areolas, or nipples. So, why has one been shamed, censored, and sexually connotated and the other is as normal to our culture as bare feet?
Free the Nipple
Lina Esco, founder of Free the Nipple, asserts that the movement does not advocate women being bare-chested at all times, its goal is simply to change public perception of women’s bodies and to highlight the blatant gender inequality.
The movement points out everyday occasions that a woman might casually remove her top such as sunbathing at the beach, in the park, or in her own backyard, breastfeeding her child, to cool down in extreme heat, or simply to change from one shirt into another.
It’s not about whether a woman should or should not; it is about whether she has the right to choose. It’s about sexual suppression in our culture, conditioning women of all ages that their bodies are shameful, and training men to objectify women by only using the female figure to sell products.
Nudity Versus Sexuality
Female nudity is, of course, not the subject at hand. The female body is splashed all over every billboard and television screen in the West. Those who have a problem with female nudity in all likelihood actually have a problem with the perversion, pervasiveness, and abuse of female sexuality. A line from the film’s trailer says, “Our sexuality has been taken away from us and is essentially being sold back to us.”
According to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), studies show that,
The typical American child will view more than 200,000 acts of violence, including more than 16,000 murders before age 18. Television programs display 812 violent acts per hour; children’s programming, particularly cartoons, displays up to 20 violent acts hourly.
All of this violence is permitted to litter our children’s minds and continue to be consumed by adults as well, and yet a nipple is obscene and offensive enough warrant censorship? Right.
Men’s Chests Considered Illegal and Taboo Until 1936
For American men of the 1930s, going shirtless in public was as shocking a sight as it is for women today. It was not until 4 men defiantly strutted through Coney Island bare-chested to bring attention to the issue that public opinion quickly shifted. The men were fined $1 each for public indecency.
GoTopless.org/timeline provides an interactive and educational timeline complete with pictures, names, and dates on the history of public nudity.
Female Breasts Still Outlawed in 35 States, Not a Single Law Penalizes Men
Currently, it is illegal for women to be topless in public in 35 states, and in 5 of those states women are not allowed to breastfeed their babies in public. There is not a single law on the books in America prohibiting men from removing their shirts in public.
In cities like Rochester, NY, the first city where laws were officially changed in 1986 allowing women to bare their chests in public, it is still almost impossible for a woman to do so without being arrested (before eventually being released) because police are ignorant of the law. One cannot overlook the irony that police insist “ignorance of the law is not an excuse” when dealing with citizens and prosecute regardless.
Lina Esco, founder of Free the Nipple Campaign, says “According to statute 245.01 per the Appeals Court of The State/City of New York, it is completely legal for a woman or a man to opt not to wear a shirt (or bra) in public.”
The Origins of Anti-Nude Values in America
Up until the 1900s, Native American tribes did not teach Puritanical values to their children and summer attire often meant top-free men and women. It was not until Christian missionaries spread these values and taught women to be ashamed of their bodies that laws began to govern one’s sovereignty over his or her clothing option. Calvinism slammed both men and women for breaches to its hyper-conservative rules which went as far as to say that sexuality should not be explored or enjoyed; rather, it should be used only to make children and should be absent of any emotions that would not leave room for God. Europeans were well into their centuries-long indoctrination of sexual repression. This was one of the many gifts brought over to North America, along with slavery and disease.
Of course, in ancient times, there was no word for nudity because it was more common to be naked than it was to be clothed. Nudity had no connotation with sex.
The Demonization of Nature
Sexual suppression is not the cause of gender inequality today; it is symptomatic of a philosophical blunder plaguing our psyche. Religion and scientism are both culpable in the declaration of war on nature.
Staunch religion places man outside of and above nature. We are at the top of the hierarchy and the flora and fauna are here at our disposal. St. Francis of Assisi’s message that nature and man are created equal and in unison was widely misinterpreted and ignored. Staunch scientism removes consciousness from the equation leaving both man and nature as vapid soulless objects to examine under a microscope and genetically reengineer.
The Only Solution
For anyone paying attention, sexual suppression is a direct result of this core philosophical derangement. Man is nature, not outside or above it. And for anyone who cares, we must correct this perception within each of us individually by remembering that our essence is nature and by realizing our interconnectedness with all matter, all phenomena, and all life. For, it is only when we break the shackles of collectivist norms that we can experience the freedom of following our natural urges.
This is the common denominator with any social upgrade, be it racial, gender, sexual orientation, or social class. When we conform to the arbitrarily imposed social laws that enslave us from something as natural as our own bodies, we commit psychic suicide and unleash the beast of repression and all of its grotesque manifestations.

you motherfuckers are so fucking annoying
wasting your god damn time
Dude really they are right….. if you were a chick would u want your boobs stuffed into an uncomfortable cage for ur boobs…. dont get me wrong I’ve see some bras that feel like clouds but after a while of wearing them im pretty sure they get hard….. just like when you wear a brand new jacket…. it is soft as a cloud the first time you were it but over time if fades…… and dont forget the wireing in them which STABS them over time……so all in all who gives two shits….. you need to fucking grow up and… Read more »
“if you were a chick would u want your boobs stuffed into an uncomfortable cage for ur boobs”
It’s called wearing clothes. Men have to do that as well. That’s like saying men should be allowed to walk around with their dicks out because underwear are “an uncomfortable cage for our balls.” If you don’t like it, don’t wear a bra.
It’s not like wearing underwear actually. Covering the sexual organs is not what is trying to be eliminated here. Men and woman both should wear pants and underwear in public. No one should expose their vaginas or penises. Breasts are not sexual organs. Men can walk around a beach topless, woman should too. That’s all this article is saying.
Theres a reason why people in the amazon have arangatang titties, much like the photo of the Natives above. Bra’s support the breast. You dont have to wear a bra, you could wear a shirt, but why don’t you? Because your tits will be at your knees.
Nipples actually cause most women to have sexual gratification much the same as their vaginas. You are wrong. They are sexual organs.
Ya a beach is one thing. So stage the protests at the beach. Not running through busy traffic streets in the middle of a city where both men and women are wearing clothes and or working. And women can go around topless at beaches all they want. But I better not hear any bitching when guys are staring at them the whole time. This is just another hippy movwnt.
Person saying Boobs are sexual organs aka: “Dumbass”.
You’re actually wrong.
All boobs are is stuff with fat,tissue, and blood.
Yes they stimulate sexual encounter but it’s because of the nerves, not organ.
But boobs are a sexual organs. You’re only kidding yourself with that crap.
I am at this point curious if women will ever lose something to fight for since every time u get something u just want more, but that is beside this the point what I am curious about is why it is so important we have war and famine wide spread and instead of helping starving children we are sitting here bitching about why men are aloud to show there boons and u aren’t and tbh I don’t have a side to take I just have to say this honestly what is next after this I really want to know
“Dumbass,” men have the same sexual stimulation from having their nipples messed with. So does that make a man’s chest a sexual organ?
Why shouldn’t people expose their genitals? Exactly what harm is there in it?
I would feel ridiculous as hell covering my chest on the beach. I don’t know how women put up with it. That being said; having one set of people choosing to go nude while another set of people cover up is going to send confusing signals. People will go nude who really aren’t comfortable with doing so just to be accepted. Being nude will be sexualized indefinitely so long as it remains an oddity or a privilege to see instead of commonplace behavior. I’m also not too keen on the idea of phase one. The phase which we all of… Read more »
Its a little bit different than that. I personally like my bras, but it would it be nice go be able to go without sometimes. Bras pretty much are breast cages, they have metal underwire holding the shape of the cup at the bottom and often a good bra will also have something called boning in the sides that stays stiff. This is all for support and shaping so it isn’t a useless torture device, but last I checked men’s boxers didn’t cost $40+ a pop.
Also breasts=\=penises
Then go without one. What’s the problem? Who says you have to wear a bra all the time?
So im an art major right? One of my class requirements is to study the figure (both men and women) so im pretty used to seeing bare genitals and bodies and primarily brests. The first sitting i went to was awkward as hell but i got over it. I eventually realized that it wasnt as big a deal as i thought it was. Its gotten to the point that it’s completely normal to me and it’s nice not feeling that weirdness of seeing a woman topless. It’s honestly the same as seeing a man without a shirt. Bras are great.… Read more »
You sir, are ignorant as fuck. Going commando has nothing to do with the essence of this article. While the point of a bra being an uncomfortable cage is very correct, people still freak out when a busty woman isn’t wearing a one. And even so, we shouldn’t be forced to wear shirts on an unfathomly hot day. This was about equal rights and being viewed in the same respectful manner as men. If we have to clothe our torsos, so should men. Plain and simple, everyone has the same thing going on up there and it shouldn’t be looked… Read more »
you fucking retard, feminists are retarded.
It’s called society. Men can’t do all the same things womans can without being judged. That’s just the way it is. Get over it and maybe put some energy into something that you can actually change. Just an idea.
Please tell me, what are women allowed to do that will get a man cited and/or arrested?
Punch a man…
Actually they are differemy and no men dnt habe to wear shirts or cover there chest thats y its unfair to the women i think as long as u got undies on u should be able to choose how much you wear
The irony of your name “everyone’s stupid” with your awful spelling and over all inability to make sense is amazing! Merica!
lol
Don’t like it don’t where underwear. Don’t like a shirt why where one.
Don’t like pants don’t wear them. Don’t like shoes leave em home.
What I said applies to what you said.
Exactly what they are saying. They don’t want to where a shirt because they shouldn’t have to just like men.
wear versus where.
No. All this is saying is that women should be allowed to go topless just like men do.
Maybe when boobs aren’t looked at and used as sexual attractions that will change. You really think females wil be able to walk around topless with causing a scene and be distracting? Woman use them for that very reason all the time. Also use them to manipulate men to do what they want. All those hussies will revolt when there only assets are rendered inefective.
Funny, I know a lot of men that use six-pack abs and pecs as “sexual attractions”. Why aren’t we required to have those covered?
See the only thing is that butts are the same way. An ass is not a sexual organ, but if a grown man was mowing his lawn with a shirt on and wearing a speedo or something showing his bare ass, all hell breaks loose, but when a female wears a bikini on a beach and you can see her ass it’s perfectly fine, you don’t see us guys begging to let us have our asses out…would just be weird
Anakin, stop being a white knight.
No actually it’s like saying you should wear a jock strap all day long, just so you get the idea… I wear a bra, shirt, panties and pants. You wear a tshirt, and underpants and pants. See the difference buddy. Let’s put some wires around your dick and see how that feels after a while. Just dumb! Shmd! Men…
A jock strap and bra serve two different functions. By your logic of extra clothing, you shouldn’t wear anything like panty hoses either. Fuck girdles, just let the fat go and stop trying to hide it…see all that? It is retarded. Breasts are sexual because men are visually stimulated by them. It has been scientifically proven. You can’t unsexualize the breasts…it will never happen.
^ This!
no one makes you wear a bra. wearing a bra is a choice.
You’re ignorant, Tasha. No one is making you wear a bra and bras are not at issue here. It’s ignorant females like you, that make many men hate and laugh at the feminist movement.
It’s the same at all, women arnt going around with their vaginas out, it’s their breats. We are both still wearing underwear asshole.
You don’t know what it’s like, bras are painful, you’re underwear isn’t. That and you men can have your everything showing !!
It’s called equality. Have you heard of it
underwear can be painful we got nut hair and when it gets pulled. ouch
Shut your mouth. I hate feminists. You’re what make people not respect women.
Wearing a bra is not at all like wearing underwear, or clothes. Wearing a bra is like wearing a bra.
You wouldn’t know the feeling unless you had them yourself. Some days are bra days, some days just are not. They are indeed uncomfortable.
A lion doesn’t lose sheep over the opinions of sheep.
Oh no you didn’t read the whole article did you bud
Yet man can walk with their shirt off, if people like you wouldn’t sexualize everything women do n are this wouldn’t even be an issue.
If you were a chick with boobs would you want your boobs stuffed into an uncomfortable cage for your boobs?
Uhm.. my bras are perfectly fine. And i actually love them. But then i only use quality bras and buy them for 100$ a pop
HAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! -peace
I’m sorry I’m a women and my bra is just fine thank you. It doesn’t stab me because it fits properly. If people want to free the nipples and go back to a time where the human body was just seen as a human body, then remember, women were also property back then. Men wore loin cloths and we bartered and traded. People were also brutally punished for simple crimes. Free your nipples where I don’t have to see them. It’s not a sexuality thing for me, it’s a I have a pair and really don’t want to see everyone’s… Read more »
Matty- did you miss the point that they aren’t asking to go back. Most other country’s in the developed world all toplessness. And, guess what they are back in the dark ages. And, most women are not going to walk around the streets topless but for it to be a crime to show the same skin as a man doing it is what is wrong. Most of the countries were it is ok, women do it on the beach.
Stop this comparing! We are equal to men but we are not the same and this is biologically supported. We have a different body, different reproductive system, different genitillia. Where has modesty gone? I understand and like the idea it’s going by BUT we shouldn’t be telling women to take off even more clothes? Why don’t we do the opposite. In tv shows, music videos, news broadcasters etc women are seen as sexual objects – half naked while men are fully clothed. That is the problem – how media is bringing us back to be seen as sexual objects ,… Read more »
Get educated Sir. You sound like a moron.
Yeah, that’s the whole point right. Your option doesn’t matter. If your going to be that much of a bigot. Are you really better then anyone else? Or for that matter are men better then woman? I thought we were all equal with equal rights? You don’t want to see them don’t look…. You keep your bra, you must have a good one.
Thank You. And honestly if people did their research they’d come to fild that, going with out bras, becoming more natural can actually help prevent beast cancer.
You comment is adorable. It’s sweet to see a male try and put themselves in a woman’s shoes. Cudos to you my friend.
Omg girl I totally agree! Men are useless. I DRESS and ACT like a man better than men themselves. They think it’s adorable, they love me.
Let’s just remember it took a MAN’S a sperm along with a woman’s egg to make you!….so we are not useless…..its funny how you so called feminist what equal rights And to be exactly like men yet have the nerve to call men useless if so why imitate and immolate everything we do?
Lol you are exactly right and I really enjoyed your response!!!
Awesome. Good luck to you. Keep your nipples free and watch how much faster they sag. Go for it. I’ll keep doubling up on the bras and working out to keep my ladies young and available for VIP access only. It’s worked so far after nursing two babies for a year and turning 30. People forget they are a reproductive organ and can cause arousal very easily.. But ok… We can go on pretending that men and women are exactly the same… That makes a lot of sense.
Hhahaha Dude you are awesome. It’s men like you that give us women hope. If there is one thing I can’t stand in the world it’s ignorance and ignorant men are the worst. Thank you for being forward thinking. =)
Youre absolutely right. Now, why stop at free the nipple? lets just go around naked. that way, we are not limited by clothing “cages”. truly it will be an enlightening experience and somehow help strike back at those awful right-wingers! #freethebody
–said the “ohmygod” man while he uselessly wasted time he would never get back by criticizing that which he said was a useless waste of time that would never be gotten back. In doing so he hoped to spread what he thought was pure, elevated wisdom, though he, too, was unaware of the idiocy and sheer irony of his own comment. With a smirk of victory he closed his web browser and returned to the wasteland that was his “life”, until the next time he thoughtlessly informed others of his opinions, all the while totally unaware that no one cared,… Read more »

Thanks for your opinion. Now show us your boobs.
What if a female said that?
well that was very eloquent lol bravo
So there are two comments on this post that really irked me the wrong way. Number one about how breastfeeding is discusting no it is not that is the initial reason for breasts to feed a child and spoiler. The reason the you are attracted to them is because you subconsciously think we can nourish your offspring. Okay moving on. Breastfeeding in public should never be an issue, you don’t need to look if you don’t want. But you obviously don’t have a problem with it usually. Why when a baby which shocker you were one once. Needs it. Okay… Read more »
Lets play spot the femenazi! Founder her. (just making a joke about the learn and respect and not rape). I agree with the movement, and that breastfeeding in public shouldn’t be an issue. That being said, women need to get out of the mindset that all men are “Rapist” no we are not. I for one don’t have these magical feelings that i need to rape a women based on what she is wearing. I have urges to mate, which by the way is natural among ALL species and genders, but do not act upon those unless consented with obvious… Read more »
The argument that “not all men are rapist so it hurts my feelings when you generalize” is stupid and infantile. There is someone suffering from sexual assault every 107 seconds. This makes it incredibly difficult for women to not be careful and worry about the way they portray themselves, and the way they think about men. im glad that you don’t lack the self control to restrain yourself but looking at the real statistics fearing men, and being weary can not only save a woman’s life but prevent a horrible assault. Also, laws should take into account sex since most… Read more »
We tend to forget that women can rape men, too. It happens. Certainly not as much as men raping women, but it still happens. You can’t fight gender stereotypes and inequality with further gender stereotypes and inequality.
So knowing “all men are rapists”, you’re going to go around topless… Logic. Feminists are a pretty entertaining bunch:)
“One more thing men are physically stronger than men but women are stronger than men mentallly.”
Please read what you just posted and tell me that a female is smarter than a male. You miss, are a moron.
Just because a person’s spelling is bad doesn’t negate their voice ass. Holes. Your like little bitches… like sissy fuks. On a pedestal of academic acuity. “Oh you got raped but when u rote the report you spelled penis WRONG. ” get @ life. If u can’t except people rite to stylized spelling. Don’t come on the Internet…. All types of people all types of spellers….bitches!!!!
Simple lack of education. Just because you’re an idiot the world is a bunch of fags? Lol. Ignorance.. Being grammatically challenged doesn’t negate your opinion, but it sure makes you look Stoopid! Lol.
“assholes”
“You’re like little bitches” and “sissy fucks”…FYI those are sexist remarks, so way to go on eliminating gender inequality…
“Wrote the report”…FYI the victim is not the one who writes the report…
I’m not sure about this one but I think it’s “Get a life!”….
“If you cannot accept individuals’ rights to stylized spelling, don’t use the Internet”…this one was a challenge….
I have no idea how to work with the last one. There are only two types of “spellers”, those who can effectively and those who cannot.
When words are spelled and used incorrectly, the reader is left trying to figure out what point the writer was trying to make. Like “except,” did you mean, “accept?” They have two totally different meanings. In my opinion, your argument is invalid since readers don’t even know what you’re trying to say.
You spelled write wrong
LOL
Yo, you look like a sexist 12-years-old on rage……..Look at you going around and making those swearing comments with different names
Not when men learn not to, it is when PEOPLE learn not to. Men are raped as well. Your whole post screams “I am a feminist, but not the kind that is proactive…the other kind who blames all of men for my problems that I most likely caused.”
Go back to school moron! Lol. Thanks for pointing out that men are physically stronger than Men. Lol. And assuming All women are emotionally stronger than All men, is just utter nonsense. Chickenheads looking for attention.. Can you really be that ignorant? Go ahead and walk around bare chested with all these mentally disturbed people we’ve got walking around. Lemme know how that works out for you. Lol. Idiots
You should really stop talking or you might run out of hot air to fill up your big head. Anyone who can’t take literally 4 seconds out of their measly little life to look over a typo, really doesn’t deserve to even have an Internet connection. Also, if any of you find it difficult to “figure out what the point he writer was trying to make” then you must have had a real hard time barely passing any language arts class you’ve ever took…..sorry taken, for those who can’t figure out my point. I hate writing, but I hate people… Read more »
Any questions…?
Women are not stronger than men mentally. Each year individual is different and there’s no majority on mental strength- whatever that means.
Woah wait a second. You litterally just stated that all men rape as if its a male only thing; Its not. Men can be raped just as much as woman; its simply not as common or widely spoken about. Im all for gender equality, I think it shouldn’t matter what gender a person is as to whether they should have the right to wear clothing with out legal ramifications; which, mind you, is the reason for this article. But idiots like you, are the reason movements like this are set back to the darkages when they start finding traction. People… Read more »
“Men can be raped just as much as woman”
Yeah, and over 90% of those reported are raped by…wait for it…other men.
There’s your problem.
I am in no way saying that women don’t also rape men, because they do – but the vast majority of men are raped by other men.
That’s also not saying that all men are rapists, because that is completely insulting to men and not true at all – but you can’t avoid the fact that the VAST majority of perpetrators of rape to either men or women are male. You just can’t – you can shout ‘women can rape too!’ as much as you like, but it won’t cancel out the uncomfortable fact that most rapists are male.
Look I’m going to make this post simple and unlike most of these people who try to flaunt their “knowledge” with “big words” trying to make their point believable. Im sorry to say but this whole campaign is ridiculous. Women and Men are as equal as it’s going to get. And as a guy I have never looked at a woman as an object or a sexual one at that. A woman has class and I think women are supposed to have class. More class than a man does and I am a guy! Its not just men that think… Read more »
You are a very mature and wise teenager!
Agreed!
People said pretty much the same thing before women could work or vote.. many women were opposed to both. You speak of normal but thats the point. what is normal? if no one ever changed normal, what kinda world would it be? look at the reasons women had to start covering their breasts…. YOur super mature for your age, but, wisdom comes in time.
Claiming that women have or should have more class than men is a paradoxical contradiction of your statement, “women and men are as equal as it’s gonna get”. Double standards are the opposite of equality. It’s actually not about indecent exposure or getting all women to walk around shirtless, it’s about securing equal rights which are centered around another double standard. Every injustice, even somewhat trivial or invisible ones, have to be addressed. This campaign may seem ridiculous but it is really a way of opening the public’s eyes to pointless hypocrisy. It’s about debunking the normalization of the hypersexualization… Read more »
i agree with this statement. I like wearing clothes it’s about class. And no thank you i don’t want my boobs sagging. It really isn’t terrible wearing clothes and i live in 120 degree weather. It’s all an excuse to be shirtless. They should have made it more about breast feeding or name it something different haha.
Speaking of double standards. lets think about the ‘hypersexualization’ that has been placed around the female body. One of the main ways it has been accomplished is to expose the female body to society. So how does exposing nipples differ than the very same tactic used to sexualize women. If anything this campaign might seek to damage its cause more than help it. Most straight men are sexually attracted to breasts, even though they are not specifically sexual organs, they are reproductive organs. Which how much difference is there really? The whole point of sex in the natural world is… Read more »
It’s like the Civil Rights Movement…I’m sorry to say but that whole campaign is ridiculous. Blacks and Whites are as equal as it’s going to get. I have never thought of a Black person as dangerous or less deserving of equal rights at that. It’s not just White people that think Black people should be shot. There are Black people that think the same thing and if you think that Black people are actually going to be less dangerous if it does “change” anything then your crazy. I have a Black friend and they said that if this did change… Read more »
Wait, what? Please inform me on how you plan to defend the notion that this is like the Civil Rights Movement. Are we even talking about the same thing?
Very well written haha!
This comment is the greatest example of satire I’ve seen on this website yet.
At least, I’m assuming it’s satire. If it’s not, then you’re a fucking idiot.
lol very clever, Hell Yeah!… Basically taking all the previous comments and replacing the sexism issue with the racism issue to draw attention to how it would sound if the same statements were applied to differences between blacks & whites instead of men & women… By the way, I’m kind of shocked by all the people who don’t agree with the movement. I understand your reservations, but nipples are just nipples. This isn’t an anti-clothing campaign, it’s an equal-rights campaign… It’s not saying women should walk around topless in the grocery store, just that they should be able to –… Read more »

wow, okay well first of all congradulations on being a guy and having a girlfriend. I’m not completely sure why having one gives you this vast insight into the reasons behind this campaign. If you really believe men and women are ” as equal are they’re gunna get” you have a lot to learn. Just because you don’t personally witness inequality or your girlfriend may not experience it or realize she is experiencing it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. And you saying women have class and are suppose to is just a type of inequality. Why exactly is it that… Read more »
Then I propose we make male nipples illegal as well.
Just because you as a male have the freedom to take your shirt off in public does it mean you do?
But having the freedom is the thing.
agreed. that’s pretty much the only thing that would make some of these dudes aware that this is a double standard.
dude your wasting your fucking time i say and 98% of every one on here agrees i say if females want there boobs hanging then who is any one else to say different
That is because everyone on here is on here because they are either studying what the cause is or because they support it. Duh they would agree!
Women want to go around topless? I’m fine with that!
Are you fucking retarded? You’re telling me that you don’t want to see boobs more often? Scientifically proven to improve overall psychological health, it’s a win win for everyone.
And you’re obviously an ignorent male. Lol people like you are whats wrong with this world.
Meanwhile, back in the real world… Iran is close to having nuclear weapons. Russia is stomping over America because Putin knows how soft are leaders really are. North Korea cyber attacks us. Terriosts attack France. ISIS is gaining strength. Yet heres the American public, not realizing how good we have it here. How far worse other countries have it.

they are definitely not wasting their time! the women marching are standing up for all of the other women around the world, trying to protest for the rights that we deserve but don’t have.
Wow, so many people completely miss the entire point of this article.
I’ll propose an alternative to “The Only Solution” – if women’s nipples are illegal, men’s should be too.
That’s equality.
Feminism means equality of the sexes. So, if you are not a feminist, then you are either a) ignorant of its definition and misinformed or b) you are sexist.
Hear, hear! Clarity.
These people just live boring ass lives. A campaign that they can relate to is their entertainment, they don’t really care for “Rights”. Just get a hobby or something.
By the way I literally jerked off to these images a few times. Something about dumb naked bitches in public really get me going!
Agreeing with you. This is stupid. They do this and expect the rapist and the *bad guys* not to get arouse and rape them? To men, boobs are something that arouse them. Why give the rapists more reason to target you? Im sorry but this is idiotic
What are you? Gay?
I swear to Christ if I see any of you women with your nips out near me or in my line of sight, I will slice you up. You dirty rats aren’t going to spread your vile trash and foolishness and get away with it. Feminists need to start being dealt with harshly.
LMFAO, feminism is really getting out of hand. Western women of peace
You realize that men would be doing the same thing if the situation was flipped around, right? God the nerve of you people, this doesn’t even count as feminism, it’s more so equal rights.
If you read the article you would realize men did do the same thing. Back in the 30’s. Women are just doing the same thing we did 80 years later to try to get the same rights.
You think the men actually read the article? Or have the ability to understand how women feel?
I’m a man, and yes, I read the article. Personally, I don’t give a rat’s ass if women wanna let em hang. Lol. It’s a stupid point to argue in the first place. What self respecting woman would do that? I know you’re mad at the world cause you don’t have a penis, but that’s a personal issue, just like your tits. Feminist prick! I bet the whole campaign was a Man’s idea, lmao.
These days men are worried about matters much more serious than public dress code. If a problem isn’t rational or serious enough a man quickly realizes it is not worth his time and move on. And I think if the tables were turned – and Men had breasts while keeping their manly minds, and women gained the sexual desire that men have for breasts. A man would realize the implications of a movement to expose their breasts publicly. They would rationalize it, and most would find the minor discomfort of wearing a shirt during their time in public areas, does… Read more »
Had to scroll until I found a like-minded comment, and yours hit the spot man. “Free the Nipple” is an absurd and manipulative campaign in which no one within a logical human thought process would or should consider promoting.
You realize that men would be doing the same thing if the situation was flipped around, right? God the nerve of you people, this doesn’t even count as feminism, it’s more so equal rights.
…You’ve got to be kidding me- There is a HUGE difference between a male nipple & a female mammary. It is the significant deciding factor between our sexes…
Everyone in this movement, regardless of race, gender, socio-economic status.. are fools.
I can’t imagine any of you have an education.
(With that said, I’m all for you showing off your breasts)
I’m a man who wouldn’t walk near a strip club, but the only thing this will do is further spread gender inequality- Think with your head….
But when censoring…It it literally only the nipple that is censored.
So guys, every-time you take off your shirt at the beach and whatnot, make sure to bring your nipple tape cause we don’t wanna see those.
Exhibit B Manboobs
I’ll wear me some nip tape lmao long as its little stars haha
Fucking [email protected]
oh lawd
The red head can keep her shirt off. Rest can get the fuck outta here
Dem titties
yesss yesss yessss
U Mirin Red’s tits brah?
I concurr! Lol
You’re an idiot.
Those red heads boob are nice! I am all for free the boobs
People will protest for anything nowadays. Just the other day I read an article about students signing a petition for black students to be EXEMPT FROM FAILING CLASSES because of the previous “traumatic” events in America.
Now I’m black too, but come on.
Might as well push the “free the ‘vagina’ campaign” while at it too!
Idiot, its the fact that you can go to the beach and be shirtless and just because our.breasts are different than yours we must hide them. Vaginas, can stay covered just like your most likely 3 inch cock. K.thanks.
Anti-small dick shame culture
I would love that but lets stop and think what would really happen if we actually did that. Not saying I’m against it or with the protest. But seriously think about what would happen with society especially “men”.
I agree, I wouldn’t mind hitting the beach and seeing some boobies! For the record it’s only 2.5 thank you 😉
Ha! You’re using body shaming by talking about a guy’s small penis to “prove a point”! Isn’t that part of what you’re protesting? Or does equality only work one way? It’s hard to keep up, with all the insults and hate everyone’s spewing.
That’s sexist against men!
I agree with this Norwegian and most Viking cultures woman were viewed as free and could do with there body as they pleased if we saw them more it would get rid of the effect the media has on us pushing woman to be perfect little Barbie dolls and men who fall apart at the sight of naked breasts woman are to be respected for more and seen as the ones who bear are children which is something fare more beautiful and to be respected they give life to us all
A vagina is a sex organ. That’s the difference.
That doesn’t make any sense but nice try.
How about “free the penis!” As well. Really dude? Are you really going to get offended by a nipple? You have one too. Get over your self.
And the free the dick campaign! Men’s rights FTW!!!
Apples and oranges, asshole
so I really enjoyed this article, it really help me to change my mind on the way I view clothing and censorship. I’m going to look into this campaign, because I think it is a great way to essentially free women from being viewed as objects. However, I have to disagree that Puritans and Calvinists taught Native Americans to be ashamed of their bodies, they just spread their own culture, and clothing was a part of their culture. I don’t think it has anything to do with shame, but more to do with preserving your bodies as a gift to… Read more »
Ok let’s see your boobs then
only if we can see your dick
obviously you don’t know your history that well or you only know what the history books in school taught you.. Christians who came over here most definitely forced their way of life onto the people already living here. It’s most disgraceful and left a bitter taste in my mouth when I learned of the many inhumane injustices they caused. I am not knocking anyone for their religion now.. unless they try and force it down my throat, as I am agnostic.. but the way the Indians were treated was completely out of line.

If you want people to take your writing seriously, you need to proofread it. This is littered with grammatical errors and typos, which makes your ideas and your points less believable. It makes it look like it comes from an uneducated source.
I disagree. In a scientific paper, you have to be obsessive over grammar to ensure you are conveying information correctly. In other, less formal, articles we can use our understanding of language to help grasp the meaning of a topic beyond a few errors. To say ideas are affected by these minor grammatical errors is a fallacy.
Seriously? Not everybodies primary language is easy. So excuse me while I forget to put my period at the end of my sentence be rite beck while i grab my dictionary and throw it at your head, uneducated source this came from? MYSELF
Lol. Idiot.
I like the thoroughness of this piece it covers all fields as to why it’s wrong to oppress women in their full beauty so to this I say “free the boobies!”
how dumb is this? this is really a way to prove you are equal? most of those reasons on the picture will never happen. all people will see this as is a bunch of sluts that want to show their tits in public. the only thing this would normalize is it would segregate the decent women from the sluts. no decent man would ever want to be with a women who would want to do this. what happened to class and modesty? if any of you idiots think this will not sexualize women, you are beyond stupid. this will do… Read more »
Best comment I’ve read so far!
I couldn’t put my thoughts on this pathetic topic any better!
Seriously? You are so broken, I can’t even begin to understand how you’re even able to breathe and type this hateful garbage at the same time. I’m sorry but if I were out in public and my baby were hungry, I’d be breastfeeding in public. I don’t give a shit if it makes you feel icky. Babies gotta eat. Also “sluts” are people who fuck everything, not just people who happen to be naked and unashamed of their bodies. By your use of the word, Eve from the garden of Eden would have been such a fucking slut. You really… Read more »
THANK you.
Whether you agree with this guy’s view or not, don’t you think you’re taking it just a bit too far in questioning his ability to breathe and type at the same time, just for expressing his opinion? Disagree? Fine. But do so in a thought out and sensitive manner, or you will discredit yourself due to your use of shaming to prove a point. In your words, “You really should learn to think from everyone’s point of view before you hate.” It sure did seem like there was much more hate in your post than his.
I agree. I think she’s suffering from an extreme case of Lackodickitis and needs a Alottadicktome! Lol. What’s up with these hateful femenists? Think they need a good fuck. If you’re gonna fight, have something worth fighting for. Moron
Don’t resort to religion to try and prove a point. Not even close to everybody believes in what you’re talking about. Also, like that Stop the Hate guy, you’re pretty hateful yourself. Hypocrite.
You are a disgusting human being, I can believe you are allowed to live. It people like you who make it hard for women to get anywhere. Breastfeeding has been shown to make infants smarter and less likely to get sick when they are older. It also benefits the mother from getting cervical cancer. No one told you to stare at a breast feeding mother, nor do you have a right to say it’s disgusting. You are a sad human.
My goodness, did we go back in time? Are we living in Nazi Germany? You don’t understand why he’s allowed to live? Give me a break. Whether you agree with this guy’s view or not, don’t you think you’re taking it just a bit too far in making personal insults and talking about his life just for expressing his opinion? Disagree? Fine. But do so in a thought out and sensitive manner, or you discredit your argument when you use shaming to prove a point. And, though I don’t agree with him, he does have a right to say that… Read more »
Actually, people do have a right to say it’s disgusting to openly feed in public. First amendment right to be exact.
So you find it “nasty” for a woman to breast feed her child ?!? I hope you know that is the actual use for the breast. To feed a child. So that means if they see fit to feed their child when their child is hungry than they should be able to do just that no matter where they are! So how about you have some “respect” for yourself and take a biology class or something.. AND writing a comment under a post with no ACTUAL REASONS for why you disagree besides thinking women who show their breasts are “sluts”… Read more »
I’m sorry, but WHO needs to get some self respect and respect for others???
I completely agree with this:) I am a girl and I have no desire to go topless in public. What’s wrong with wearing clothes? Jeez
That is most likely the best comment I have seen here and you really prove a point.
Seriously. She said it all right there. This might be one of the stupidest things I have ever seen protested. Get a life.
I agree with everything you said, except for the part about breast feeding. Get a little more education on the subject. Ignorance fuels ignorance.
Wow loosen your corset your going to pass out.
So, breastfeeding in public is nasty? Let’s look at this for a second. What is breastfeeding? A baby EATING. Why is this nasty? I have 2 children. Both were breastfed. It’s just a baby eating. You know what IS nasty? The person at a restaraunt chewing with their mouth open. If a baby eating in public is nasty then why isn’t it nasty when others eat in public? The fact it, when a baby is newborn up to about 5 months old, their diet is a liquid one. If breastfeeding weren’t a normal thing, our female breasts would not make… Read more »
Perhaps debunking the normalization of the hypersexualization of basic non sexual human anatomy will get us to a point in society where “dumb slut” isn’t the word of choice for women defying hypocrisy and double standard.
Thank you.
I wish there was a “like” button on here to congratulate the smart few.
Is “slut” the only word you know?
It’s hard to believe you have an education or any self respect when the only thing you have for your point is repeating the same derogatory term over and over.
This campaign will NOT “segregate the decant women from the sluts” It will merely show those who want to take part in the movement.
How many people FORCE you to keep your shirt on in public? You can’t name one. For a woman, she can name literally anyone.
Free the nipples ya!!!!!!!!!
Its doesn’t matter what you guys do. If I guys thunk that being able to walk around topless is going to help you go ahead but its just going to attract more guys. Cause guys won’t change we will always have a thing for boobs. So being able to walk around topless as a female is only going to create more stalkers
This comment makes me so sad. I literally started crying when I read it. It is going to create more stalkers? You’re warning me that exposing my breasts will create stalkers? And that hundreds of women with exposed breasts will create more stalkers? Did you ever think that’s not because of the breasts or the women, but that there is a problem in the thinking of the men? These are OUR breasts. They are not YOURS to STALK. “Guys won’t change,” Thanks for stating the obvious. Men’s chests have been normalized for a long time. Why are we so slow… Read more »
Males are naturally attracted to our breasts that were uniquely gifted to US not THEM. Men and women are different. Get the fuck over it, feminist cunt. There are sick people in this world, female and male both, who “stalk” and make prey of other humans they are attracted to, that’s the way it is. Parading your breasts around aren’t going to alleviate said sickos and their intentions or desires. Ya know, there is such a thing in this world as modesty (was, rather). And it’s been around for a reason. For NUMEROUS reasons. I don’t even know where to… Read more »

Ignorant people used to say (and in some countries STILL say) that ankles were/are obscene and sexual. Things have obviously changed because I haven’t seen any headlines lately in the US stating, “Women’s Ankles Incite Stalking Epidemic!” You know why? Ankles have been totally normalized! Men are stronger physically and mentally?! In your case, not a chance man. Not. A. Chance. You have the smallest… ahem… *IQ* I… Read more »
Listen Meh, you are a complete fucktard. I may be a guy, but i do believe in equal rights for women. If they want to show their breasts, fine. If they want to keep them covered, that’s fine too. It’s their body, and therefore their choice. And while most guys are in fact stronger than girls, there are plenty of women who can easily beat the shit out of an ignoramus like you. And saying that men are mentally stronger is possibly the most stupid and ignorant thing that has ever been said. If anything, it just shows that maybe… Read more »

And if there really is an inferior sex, that sex is still superior to scumbags like you. And i have one more thing to say in response to your comment and any future arguements: meh.
I see where you are both coming from and you are both right in a sense. Its just that in this day and age theres a lot of creeps out there. Not saying you shouldnt be free to go topless, but be knowledgable that this isnt a warning, its more of an actuality that you would need to be aware of.

I like smart comments like yours. Thank you.
The Civil Rights Movement took over 10 years. Change is slow, but it takes action.
PREACH <3 <3 3
I don’t think anyone is expecting results immediately.. if in every state women could legally be shirtless then most likely more and more women would go shirtless over time.. eventually seeing women shirtless would become something normal like men being shirtless is now normal.. yes some women still find a man’s chest something great to look at so of course men would still find women’s chest something great to look at but over time after seeing women’s bare breast day after day it becomes old and nothing special.. this is the first step though.. making it legal everywhere
In a state where it is already legal, women tend to not display their chests in public. There are about as many sexual assaults on women for trying to be free, as there are activists.
I feel this would take many generations to affect a culture. Some people are for this but for the wrong reasons (the omg-boobs-type). I think this is very brave and I commend any woman who can do this…. But sweet baby Moses the first steps to this process will be awkward.
This is fucking stupid lol. Noone wants to see your tits so keep them covered up. This would just be fucking weird.. Having everyone walking around top less with their boobs hanging out lol wtf. No thanks.
So basically you’re saying that you choose hell over heaven? A world of topless chicks…. now that’s heaven.
Think about what you said. “A world of topless chicks.. now that’s heaven”. You’re making females as a sexual objects.. their bodies for your entertainment and that’s what makes it heaven. This whole fucking protest is stupid. I hate feminism and I’m a female. You females want equal rites but half the time they complain and/or protest about the most stupidest things ever. This will NOT unsexualized females.. it will just make men drool over girls, viewing them as objects more and more because of their bodies.. and your comment does not help with not sexualzing females. You just proved… Read more »
Don’t hate feminism because you disagree with a few over-zealous people! The dictionary definition of feminism is “the advocacy of women’s rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.” There’s no reason to hate feminism as an ideal–in fact, real feminism also advocates for men and pushes to change the concept so deeply engrained in society that femininity in general is “bad” or “weak” or otherwise “inferior” to masculinity. Whether or not you agree or disagree with this specific political campaign or movement should NOT mean you devalue or discard feminism. Please inform yourselves, ladies! Awareness… Read more »
But man boobs are legal
This is a blatant issue of sexism in America and the other commentors are clearly arrogant men.
Many of the comments for this article alone show that, no matter how grounded your reasoning may be, there will always be strong backlash when going against cultural norms. There is no nonsocial reason breasts should be hidden in public and obsessed over in private.
Well said.
I feel bad for those who are still stuck in the “oh no- a body!” phase. I wish y’all would learn to think for yourselves. Unhinge. Toss out the crud that has polluted your brains. Acceptance is a beautiful thing! You should try it.
#1 Reason to free the nipple- Get to see more boobies!
Free the dick campaign, anyone? 😉
Let’s get women equal with men’s rights first?
Last I checked the constitution was gender neutral.
this could be a way to return to a natural state with nature. we are of coarse animals covering the body with cloathing only makes with more paranoia that we are something that we are not. men and wemon could get over the look of each other naked we are just not in motion with the idea of our original nature
If this argument is going to hold water (and I think it can) the argument needs to be fought within the female arena. As long as women stand divided on this issue it really isn’t a sexism discussion. And while we are at it, maybe all the breast enhancement operations should stop. Female activists really miss the boat in their logic. As long as women view their breasts as a tool of manipulation to get out of traffic tickets, look good at the club, etc., this very relevant topic will not be looked upon with equality.
Snaps for you, Jason.
I couldn’t agree with you more Jason! It’s an issue among women and can never, will never be settled as long as women compete with other women, or use their bodies as leverage… for every intelligent woman who’s brain is as beautiful as her body that would have proudly fought for gender equality, one censorship issue at a time (there are 100 that would oppose her). as a self respecting straight man, my walk down the street would be much more enjoyable if this actually happened… and i have self control enough to not act on any “urges” i may… Read more »

Breasts are sexual though.Womens nipple are way more sensitive then men’s and are a sexual exogenous zone for most women. It like letting clitoris hang out all day. I think there is a reason we keep it covered. biologically men can’t help how they view breasts. Breasts signify fertility. We are trying to socially condition people to ignore there primal brain… yet it’s going to stimulate the most primal part of our brains … it’s like trying to make us more human… by dehumanizing… .

They look virtually the same, except one is attached to a lump… In fact, many fat men have chests that look just like a woman’s. Should we tell them they can’t go shirtless just… Read more »
OK let me ask you a straight to the point question, do you agree with these idiots who are rioting and destroying businesses because a young black punk gets pulled over for breaking the law in some way and when the police stops him the thug pulls a gun on the officer and in self defense the officer kills him and the family as well as 90% of the black community and that filthy piece of trash quannel x claim police brutality
America was founded on the basis of freedom. To oppose such a measure would defy the purpose of freedom.
lol it won’t make us respect you more and that’s for sure
This comment is everything that is wrong in this country…
Wrong. Just look at the article above the comments. Women literally cannot survive by themselves. They are the weaker sex. They always will be. I’m not sexist, I respect women. The constitution is gender-neutral. The “glass ceiling” is because men work more hours than woman on average. Don’t believe me, here’s a real life scenario of women vs men played out.
http://www.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill/comments/1xaupa/what_happens_when_you_drop_a_bunch_of_women_on_an/
While we’re on the topic of double standards; when a ship is sinking, men and children first, then women? Or is that unfair?
Wud da phuk is you taulken about grammah… Why come yu so tarde.
Women are not equal to men. Get over it!!! Holy fuck!!! Men aren’t equal to women either! We are both good at certain things! We are both bad at certain things!! Stop trying to make everyone the same!! Women cant take there shirts off. Men cant wear bikinis or are cock and balls hang out. Its also gay.. We are both equal already just different. So stop your bitching with this shit. And leave shit alone!!
If both sexes are equal, then why are there more female derogatory terms? Why don’t they get paid as much? Why don’t they have as much job variety? Why are they hyper-sexualized every day?……should I continue with my volley of questions?
all I’m going to say is this will get outta hand
I consider this to be outragous to asume all men picture women as sex objects and that “normalizing” breast will change the view on women. What will change the view is women acting like women instead of whining about equality. Do we see men pulling these protests? What’s next free the vagina (as Howard said) and lets all walk around naked!? How about rock out with the cock out campaign…
sgow your tits all you want. Please!!! just don’t get pissed when dudes stare at your tits and not your face 😉
A lot of these comments are shameful. As a straight male, I fully support this. Not just because I have a very strong love of boobs, but while I don’t understand a lot of feminist movements, this should be a no-brainer. I don’t understand censorship of their breasts. A woman shouldn’t be looked down upon for feeding her child in public. We shouldn’t be paying people to take pictures of celebrity nip-slips so we can point fingers and criticize a simple and modest mistake. Honestly. Free the nipple.

Boobs are fun to play with. Of course they aren’t the same as mens.
Interesting article. It really is all about an example of complete equality for all human beings. Why have separate laws for men and women? Separate law is not equality. Never has been. Never will be.
I’m tired of hearing men’s opinions on this article. You don’t have any problem showing off the same body part. So let me call you a slut. Women are t walking around to because they feel like showing a little boob. The goal isn’t for women to go shirtless. The goal is to stop sexualizing our bodies. Stop getting scrutinized for showing a little thigh, shoulder, or cleavage. We are humans not objects. Stop treating us like awful creatures.
It’s funny, you call just about any guy a slut, he will probably laugh even if it’s true. Maybe all you chicks just need to loosen up..?
My number one concern with this idea of freeing woman is this: rape, further rise in . molestation. I wonder if our quest for equality has considered that fully clothed women and girls are objects of violence already let alone advertising ” take me, I’m a woman.” as far as most men’s view point I’m sure it arouses with the thought of penthouse style breast being displayed at any vantage, however most women’s bosems are far from perfection. We all are educated enough to realize that there is more of a sexual difference in body parts. You may call it… Read more »
I agree for a while the temptation may arise in men, but over time if women expose their breasts for large periods of times men will have gotten used to them being out and about and will realize they are nothing more than fat covering the chests of fully grown women. They will become less as sex objects and just the norm. The thing with females being giv n the right to expose their breasts, is that they will not always expose them. If it is a hot summer day, sure, you may see a little more boob, but on… Read more »
Why are there so many guys on here trying to discredit this article? They should really check their foreheads for a penis! The UK is exactly the same. We are all equal yet women have to jump through many more hoops as if to prove themselves. Shouldn’t be this way.
Equal rights, equal pay. Free the nipple I say!
I support this. Coming from someone who was borne in the USA and moved over sea’s this is a normal thing over sea’s women breast feeding over sea’s is in public is a everyday thing you see. Also when you go to the beach this should be a freedom or a choice a woman should have if they feel they want to show it off or just feel free they should. You don’t have all this rape stuff and scared feeling in Italy where I lived for over a year. THAT’S HOW PEOPLE GO MISSING THERE.
Over 10 years ago a women went topless at a public pool made a big stink about turned into a gender equality thing so within a year being topless in public for women was are legal and guess what since it became legal here only once I saw a woman on a beach topless and guess what she was not even canadian she was vacationing from Germany!

In response to “children seeing their mother half-clad” THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS. The reason YOU believe it’s wrong is because YOU’VE been taught to be ashamed of nude bodies as a whole, so for that, I’m sad for you. REMEMBER: A nude body itself is not obscene. A nude body having sex is obscene. My mother would change in front of me (her daughter) without turning around, without covering up, without acting embarrassed or ashamed of her body.

Nice essay,but you fail to realize that your a female and its a norm to see someone naked if your both the same gender.My point is ‘think of how a curious young boy or girl will grow up seeing their naked parents dress up(probably pointing and touching body parts to learn about them and why its big or small) after which they may or may not try to confirm what they were told…just saying y’all should reason before you push for something that may or may not destroy the morals of this modern society.
boobs all the way….but don’t get mad if i stare.
Nipples does a person….reallll good!!
In response to “children seeing their mother half-clad” THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS. The reason YOU believe it’s wrong is because YOU’VE been taught to be ashamed of nude bodies as a whole, so for that, I’m sad for you. REMEMBER: A nude body itself is not obscene. A nude body having sex is obscene. My mother would change in front of me (her daughter) without turning around, without covering up, without acting embarrassed or ashamed of her body.

All of that can be achieved without having you’re mom change in front of you. Some people are just not ashamed or afraid to ask questions from their parents just because of a trust that should have been built throughout childhood, don’t need to see you’re mom’s tits.
Okay so who else came here to see boobs, and was displeased the only girl with a nice set, was the red head.
Why are clothes required by law at all? What business is it of the government to own and control each person’s right to decide what to wear or not wear? Where in the psychosis of minds did human beings become “obscene” or “indecent”? Big textile corporations should not control government. Its none of their business. Naked saves huge quantities of water, chemicals, energy, and toxic waste. Naked is green.
dat redhead tho…
exactly.
Anyone see the ogre behind her though? Yikes… And for all of you who say she isn’t an ogre, blow me.
I think its funny that you think Equality Will come from being topless if you want to let guys look at you like a stripper dont scream equalitywhen ladies get paid more a job in guy anyhow
Well you’re a major idiot 🙂 do us all a favor and dont ever reproduce.
Personally I don’t see the harm in a woman being able to be in public without her top, after all a woman’s body is a beautiful creation of gods. After all if an obese man can take off his shirt at a sporting event and paint himself in his teams colors what happens to him?? I’ll tell you, he gets put on national tv, yet if a woman were to try the same thing she would be arrested, fined and made to feel ashamed. Welcome to the 21st century where all people should be treated like equals.
