I am outraged.
So earlier today, Caitlin Stasey (Lady Kenna, Reign) posted a topless photo of herself on Instagram using the tag: #freethenipple.
This is a movement that wants to show society the inequality between men and women, or more precisely: the right to show off nipples. I truly agree with this movement, and believe that women should be able to decide themselves what parts of their body they want to show to the world. It’s your body, right?
I was so upset to see that Instagram took her photo down, stating that they hoped she’d support them in keeping Instagram a, and I quote, “Safe and fun place for everyone.”
Because hell! Boobs are dangerous right???
What the actual fuck?!
It made me so angry, that I just had to express it on here.
Now I’m not a woman who would feel confident enough to post a topless photo on the internet. But that’s only because society, and maybe my family/culture, created me so. I feel like, if I wanted to do that: I should be allowed to do it. And so should any woman on our planet.
The misogyny has got to end. I’m so fucking sick of it.
It’s their choice, for crying out loud. And it was a beautiful picture! It wasn’t some shocking photo, hell, it didn’t even involve sex. It was just her, sitting in a chair without a shirt on. Big fucking deal. If that’s inappropriate for people under a certain maturity, then I think people should do a better job raising their children. You feed your children with those nipples. Everyone knows what they look like.
Women should no longer have to feel bad about being a woman, and wanting to show that.
Women should no longer have to feel bad about having breasts.
