The feedback that I’m getting, even from feminists, is that they’d “love to be more comfortable in the summer, but would rather work on a campaign to end sex trafficking first.”
To which I pointed out that rape and sex trafficking are not simply isolated incidences in an otherwise healthy society. They are part of a systemic problem. It’s no coincidence that Arab countries which are legally and socially intolerant of women displaying any part of their body are also the ones that condone violence against women. I would argue that this video is very relevant and important because it cuts to the root of that problem – We are a sexually repressed culture that produces citizens with unhealthy views about sex. The campaign that created the video isn’t just fighting for more comfort in the summer, it’s not just fighting for women’s rights – it’s fighting to change how we as a culture view women’s bodies. That is a preventative measure against rape and violence against women.

It’s time to let go all these bullshit beliefs. When did the human body or sex get dirty for you? I’m not advocating public fornication. Women’s breasts…come on let’s all grow up. You’re insane if you think it’s ok that someone can tell you what to do with your nipples. How about equal protection under the law? It’s all a big game.

I like the message they are sending but don’t necessarily agree with the actions. A woman’s breasts and a man’s breasts are not the same. They don’t function the same. It is part of something intimate and private and I personally believe it is something the public eye shouldn’t have to see. If women were allowed to this then we all might as well walk around naked then because men should be able to walk around showing off their privates areas too.

Equal rights, free will, and the right to choose. I’m not necessarily advocating for the removal of all clothes by all people. The human body is a beautiful masterpiece. Women are being over sexualized and objectified in such a way as to desensitize generations of young people into thinking a woman’s body is a fun play-land where men can do whatever they feel enticed to do with. However, there may be a time and a place to tastefully exhibit your body if you so choose. There are several nude beaches that I’ve heard of…. I don’t have the answers, just an opinion.
Oh, and mammary glands are NOT “sexual glands”. The function of them is to produce milk in lactating females after the birth of an infant. All mammals have them, even the males…… look it up.

1-women are not objects.
2-if a man were to walk around with his penis dangling out, okay. It’s a penis.
3-if all people walked around naked or topless, or bottomless (whatever) nobody would care. Nobody would treat it like something to ogle at because they’d see it everywhere.
4-the only reason women aren’t happy with their bodies is because the sexualization and objectification of them sets standards so high for no reason.
And 5- There’s nothing wrong with this. This is perfect.

Um how about no. Women are not objects, nor should they be expected to walk around like one so men can stare. There are enough predators out there and walking around like this will absolutely lead to more and more sexual assaults on women but when it comes time to make that police statement or testify in court you will get the “well she asked for it by not wearing a shirt” bullshit. And at what age does this begin? Does this make it ok and socially acceptable for a child of age 13 to do this? Teenage boys that age walk around with no shirts. There are so many things wrong with this.

Well, you have a sexual gland up there, so it’d be like dudes setting their balls free through a glory hole in the pants. If you don’t like where you are, move.

I’m all for seeing women roam around town topless, tits flying free in the warm summer’s breeze but don’t we have more important topics to focus on?
