Free-the-nipple hopefully.
I know there's a lot of humor over this campaign but the fact that it is illegal for one gender to do something and not the other gender and the length that media and social go to to censor only female nipples is kind of mindblowing.
Sounds like a simple and easy thing that will eventually pass into absurdity but with the whole "save the children" crackdown going on, I'm not optimistic that this is a freedom women will enjoy in a 100 years.
I don't know that it'll happen in time for me to benefit from it, but if free the nipple becomes more normalized, I'm hoping my nipples being visible beneath my shirt stops being so taboo (I mean bumps, not sheer shirt). I am sick of deciding I am not going to the store because I don't want to put a bra on. I feel uncomfortable answering my door without a bra or hoodie. Forget going to family functions or work without extra padding in my bra. I hate it. They're normal. They're natural. Stop sexualizing the fact that women have nipples.
Yeah 2023 and theres still some for real Scarlet Letter shit going on if women leave the house in taboo mode apparently.
Be the change you want to see in the world. I am old enough to remember a time before this ridiculous insistence on round lumps instead of boob-shaped boobs and am noticing FINALLY the chokehold of that thick padding and "modesty pads" is waning. Around here I am seeing more ladies braless, and in bras but with a more natural look.
It's not even remotely immodest to have nipples, boobs come standard with them. I am not sure why the trend of the too smooth profile held on so stubbornly, but it is just a trend. I hate it and always have.
Where's that illegal? In Iraq or something?

Explicitly Illegal: Indiana, Tennessee, Utah, Mexico
Ambiguously Illegal: Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington, Washington D.C
I was honestly surprised at seeing laws in some of the more liberal states & DC tbh. Weed is legal - but lady nips still a crime.

Well, Iraq too presumably.
Would you look at that
