Nipple Equality

Re: Nipple Equality

They should either let women go topless or make men wear bras to cover their man-nipples! Isn't that was bras are for, to hide the nipples?

Re: Nipple Equality

What exactly do women want with this? Do they want to be able to walk around the beach naked? Or do they seriously want to go to the bank, the super market, pick up their kids...with their nipples hanging out? Like in a cut out t-shirt? Let's say we did 'free the nipple'. Then what?

I thought it was just about being able to go topless, but I could be wrong.

I don't know about there, but over here it's not acceptable for men to go to the store, bank, etc shirtless. It's ok to sunbathe shirtless, but if you want to go to a place of business, it's seen as distasteful.

Re: Nipple Equality

I'm not sure how I missed this thread....

I'm not sure on the legal standpoint, but public nudity is highly tolerated here. In Berlin, it's not uncommon to see women sunbathing topless in the park. Most people still don't do it, but nothing would happen to you if you did it. Nudity and especially toplessness isn't seen as inherently sexual, though.

It's not my thing, but I don't care if people do it.

Re: Nipple Equality

I think that it's better to be naked when you're clean. Not that I lounge around in my natural state after dragging my fat ass out of the shower, but I find clean nudity to be a romantic notion.

That's something I was going to mention, Medusa. I mean, there are nipples and nipples.
Some of them look like chapel hat pegs.

Re: Nipple Equality

I dare you to say that riding on public transportation!

Plus. Where am I going to put my phone and keys and make up? I mean I have two nipples. I guess I could hang a few items off of them.

Re: Nipple Equality

Regarding full nudity,

Clothing equals pockets and a barrier between specific areas of my body and biting insects. I'm not surrendering either of those for an ideological point.

Re: Nipple Equality

Stepping aside from just breasts and going to full nudity for a moment, since it is something that Norse has made very clearing is important to him, take this into consideration. People, in general, can be disgusting. I'm not talking their physical forms, but what they do to their physical forms, or DON'T do. Where I work, in the summers we take on upwards of 75 extra employees to handle our extra business, and during that time both public and private areas of the workplace become a total disaster. Plus, many of these people come to work in filthy clothes, and sometimes stink of all sorts of various things. It boggles the mind the lack of care that they give for their appearance and for the place they inhabit.

Now, take these same individuals who pee on the floor, leave marks on the toilet seat, smell of dirt and sweat when they come to work, and all other manner of gross behavior. Do you really want to see them naked? Or, do you really want these people, who most likely do not take care enough to wipe properly or bathe correctly, to be the ones to sit next to you on the bus or to serve you food?

Bring on the clothes!

You raise a very good point. All filthy people are created equal. This is coming from someone who shaves her armpits not because she is female and it is expected of her, but because armpit hair traps odor. Yuck. I don't want to deal with that. I think that because of the odor trapping thing, men should also shave their armpits.

Re: Nipple Equality

I don't understand why nudity is illegal. Who is so powerful, so all knowing, that they can put me in restraints, and imprison me for "revealing" my natural form? Why are we so embarrassed about ourselves? There must be something wrong with this species if we are not mature enough to handle our own sexual organs. The media, and religious morals placed upon us at such young ages have poisoned our image of our bodies, making them into something dirty... Something dirty in need of cover. While we are not dirty creatures, we are made to believe that our nudity is an unnatural, ungodly, unattractive, grotesque slander and improvisation on this world we walk. As well, The attempt to preserve the "innocence" of young children just deprives them from accepting their naked bodies as natural things. Making nudity such a dirty thing leaves young children uncomfortable with ideals that should have been seen as innocent as anything else through their eyes. While we sit in our animal skins and feel comfortable, we utterly lack the comfort of our own skins, which, in the end, leads to eating disorders, suicide, manic depression, and questions of our place. Clothing has done more harm than good, but our addiction to it shall never be lifted. Disgusting is our ability to destroy everything natural and replace it with something poisonous. We are human, but we are still animals.

As well, What are clothes to you? Are they purely for what they were intended to be used for, or have they evolved to something natural? Here's the thing. Clothing in its first use, was made for protection and warmth. But as society advanced, we have made laws stating that the bare human body is unnatural and destructive to a perfect world. Fabrics and cloths are not used for protection and warmth anymore, but for the soul purpose of censorship. This is very destructive to the image of our bodies.

Oh my god this... THIS!! A thousand times this is what I feel on the issue
