ets talk about breasts.

Lets talk about nipples.

Lets talk about how there is nothing inherently sexual about them.

A homosapien female breast's evolutionary purpose is to feed her young.

Just like you would use a spoon to give a child apple sauce. A breast is a biological spoon used to deliver milk to a new born

Men have nipples to.

Because in the womb they started as female.

A male's nipples were once female but he doesn't need to cover then up.

Why?

Because women are more prone to lactation? What exactly about feeding our young is so obscene?

Nothing.

The reason there is so much shame about a woman's breasts in American Society root back to when women were chattle. It was not their body to expose. There was a time where exposing one's ankle could put a man in a frenzy. Not because it was sexy persay but because it was normally forbidden.

That is how in America a breast has become such a scandal. We make such a big deal about hypersexualizing a woman's body, we have created a double standard.

We are prudes if we show nothing.

Asking for it if we show anything.

And Shameful if we show it all.

No more.

Men can lay out on the beach and expose their generally non functional nipple. On a man they serve no purpose. But a man can still leave them bear at a public pool.

A woman can be arrested for the same. A woman can be shamed and shunned for exposing her nipple for its evolutionary purpose. Many new mothers do not know their rights. They don't realize it.

This is a sexist double standard.

And not even in any way that makes sense beyond women are prizes and we shouldn't flash our treasures.

We are not prizes. Women are equal to men.

Nipple equality is a symbol. It represents the pay gap between sexes, the double standards, the color coded toy shelves at the store. Nipples represent being told we'd be prettier if we smiled. How "don't be such a girl" is an insult. A bare female nipple represents how when an all male cast lined up to hunt ghosts no one blinked but when an all woman team assembled the Internet declared it would suck as a result. The bare nipple points out that, as Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg pointed out: "[W]hen I’m sometimes asked when will there be enough [women on the supreme court]? And I say ‘When there are nine.’ People are shocked. But there’d been nine men, and nobody’s ever raised a question about that." The bare nipple represents the oppression of victims of rape and domestic abuse of both genders. The nipple represents the fact that if a girl wants to dress as Spiderman she's directed to a costume in pink and or with a skirt. The bare nipple represents the hidden camera show when all the parents tried to tell the boy he couldn't dress as Belle. The bare nipple represents the idea that if a boy shows interest in dolls, fashion, of emotion he is feminine and it is negative. The bare nipple controversy exemplifies our sexist gender roles.

If a woman does not have the right to lay out with bare nipples beside a man on the beach, why does it shock anyone we haven't had a woman president yet?

Human bodies are beautiful. Every shade of skin, from albino to pitch black. Short, tall, slim, curvy, even skinny and overweight. Even at a humans worst their body is an amazing testament of engineering and biology and for half a moment you could perceive the idea of intelligent design. How our limbs fit into our torsos. How our bodies twist and bend. Ten toes some of us can use to pick up stuff. Ten fingers that can be used to create novels, artworks, music, and other masterpieces. Two eyes to see the beautiful world, two ears to hear it. Two nipples to feed our young.

There are exactly three external parts of the body inherently sexual. Testacles, penises, and vaginas.

Breasts, butts, legs, ears, shoulders, and every other part of the human body are not. They serve other purpose. Certain people might be attracted or aroused by them in the right situations. But thats Okay.

Its about letting women breast feed and sun bathe topless the same as their male equals without scandal or shame.

Not letting their lover nicely nibble at their nipple. See the difference?
