Why are women’s nipples considered unacceptable anyway? It seems really sexist in my opinion to say that male nipples are acceptable but female ones aren’t
You answered your own question there - sexism and patriarchy, which need women as objects and property, not individuals worthy of individual freedoms.
It wasn’t actually the nipple, it was the breast.
But as it’s a gradual transition and cleavage, side-boob, underboob, straps and pasties have become normalized, the nipple is the only part left to define as the subject of the “issue”, as it’s the most distinguishable, visually separate and definable part.
The conservative prudes would prefer a more comprehensive ban, but struggle immensely in legally defining the line of “okay/not okay” in a court of law. They find it much easier to enforce certain clothes as legally obligatory for women, but there’s very little support for that kind of oppression in most parts of the world.
In a decent number of countries, they are pretty relaxed. You go there, you see nipple (or dick) for 5 seconds, it’s notable, then it fades into the background. People are just anal-retentive about it because of religion and family culture.
Some people enjoy being anal-retention to dicks, I am unsure about the logistics of doing that with a nipple
And if you think about it, family culture comes from religion
It’s just because of sexualixation and prude people pressuring the fuck out of those platforms. Although a bit unnecessary imho I don’t mind seeing a tiddy on insta, they’ll have to add a nsfw tag tho. Insta is prob going to decline into even more onlyfans advertisements
Because most women choose to keep tops on and most cultures find them sexual. You can go topless in 95% of places in the West that allow shirts off. Women choose to keep the tops on.
In most of those places, there are laws against feminine presenting people from being topless. They don’t “just choose” to have a top on.
and when someone transitions… it’s … the /same/ nipple, but it used to be illegal and unseemly - but now is perfectly legal to show everywhere , strange…
I’ve seen a surgery documentary on TV about transitioning. They showed the surgeon doing the breast surgery. It was all uncensored, nipples and all, until the very second the doc put the silicone bag under the skin. Then they pixelated the nipple. The same nipple they were showing all along.
Makes you wonder at what size of breasts does it become NSFW and should men with boobs be censored? 🤔
idea: cover post-transition nipple with pre-transition nipple
Or visa versa.
Assuming ftm
For the other way round it would be vice versa, which is even more funny IMO - all of a sudden showing your previously legal nipples in public is now illegal
Yeah, and all nipples are not equal.
I’d love to know how you think this is relevant to op?
Because we are talking about unacceptable female nipple, isn’t it?
Or maybe the problem isn’t the nipple itself, but the context in which it’s shown.
And, after all, your are still free to put OP’s male nipple on these pictures :)
Or maybe the problem isn’t the nipple itself, but the context in which it’s shown.
In the meme you posted, the context of the photo on the left is basically sexual assault (one person exposing another without their consent), and the meme itself implies that the (justified) reaction to it is overblown, as if it is comparable to someone willingly exposing themselves.
It is not (comparable. Because one is consensual and the other is not, which apparently needs further pointing out to some people who are deliberately misunderstanding, but also proving my point for me).
The meme is a really bad take in its own right, and has nothing to do with free the nipple (E: but clearly there are still plenty of people willing to join the gaslight Janet Jackson bandwagon for the sake of an irrelevant and badly made point)
How is the meme on the right non consensual? That lady is smiling in the photo and people from Africa are not fucking idiots. They know they’re being photographed for National Geographic. She clearly does not give a fuck.
They r looking at the camera, African people know what a camera does.
Where the fuck did I even imply they don’t???
When u said it was non consensual. If I’m nude and look at a camera smiling, I think that implies there was prior consent.
Not only are female breasts legal where I live IRL, many Lemmy communities consider them SFW under non-sexual conditions. Godspeed everybody, free the nipple!
