"because female-looking nipples are sexually explicit nudity but male-looking nipples aren't!"

"says who?"

".... Men!"

*gestures "there you go"*

"wElL aCtUaLlY, the ones who complain about women going topless in public are other women!"

1. This is not true. Look at the genders of most of the repliers on any social media post about #freeTheNipple

2. Even if it was, the presence of internalized #misogyny does not disprove #patriarchy.

3. Even if women were the ones to complain the loudest about other women going topless in public, men are the ones deciding on the legislation and censorship policies that categorize "female nipples" as "sexually explicit nudity" but not "male nipples".

Seriously though, photos and videos of men flexing their exposed pectoral muscles online and in public on a hot day or around a body of water are a dime a dozen. You know what really sticks out? Not wearing a shirt except for covering just your areolas, the same exact ones that women have but are forced to cover up in any situation that doesn't condone full body nudity. THAT'S what gets people's attention and makes them stop for a second to think how insanely sexist and misogynistic gender-based censorship is.
