#nipple equality

[sandutita]

i wish human breasts weren't considered nudity

i wish they weren't considered nsfw

i wish all chests were treated the same

i wish we didn't assume someone's gender based on whether or not they have breasts

i wish we never began censoring nipples

i wish we had gender equality and trans rights

i wish women weren't treated as objects

i wish we freed the nipple.

Why do they sensor female nipples but not mens? They expect men to get off to female nipples when gay men get off to seeing men’s nipples.

They could let the female nipple be free like a man’s or just sensor both in all.

Nipple equality man.

there's no good reason why one type of nipple should be censored and another type shouldn't based on of which gender it looks like.

female nipples have to be desexualised and normalised if we hope to ever achieve gender equality in this fucked up world of ours.

not only will women benefit from it, but other gender minorities, such as trans, nonbinary and intersex people, will as well.

freeing the nipple will make the world a better place. it will make the world a bit more equal. that should be what we all want. we should all want to free the nipple.

spread the word. we need social change so we can have legal change and legalise all nipples!

a post about nipple equality.

in the blissfully ignorant cishet-society, it makes sense to censor female-presenting nipples and let male-presenting nipples be seen. women are delicate flowers who must be protected from the predatory gazes of strange men by men. and men are strong individuals who are much safer being topless because their nipples are not nearly as vigorously sexualised. and men in general aren't as sexualised as women, since men are usually the sexualisers and women are the sexualised.

but if we hope to achieve or even strive towards a world where gender equality is prevalent, we should let go of those standards and treat all nipples equally. especially since these standards crumble to mere dust when the existence of transgender, nonbinary and intersex people is considered.

it's very easy to figure out which nipples to censor in a gender binary world. but things start to get more complicated when gender diversity comes into place. we have to come up with weird and rigid rules to figure out, for example, for how long can a transfeminine person be on HRT before she has enough breast growth for her nipples to have to become censored.

but that type of frantic rule-making for the sake of a nonsensical, sexist standard really doesn't benefit anyone except for misogynistic, transphobic cishets. the best option would be to simply free the nipple. gender isn't binary, and neither are nipples, so we would be saving ourselves a lot of trouble by simply giving everyone equal treatment.

it seems simple enough. but the world isn't simple. the people in power don't have the best interests of people in mind, especially those of minorities. remaining within the status quo is the most pleasant option. any change, especially change which benefits minorities, is undesirable. most people are cisgender and gender-conforming anyway, so why bother changing a system most people are happy with, even though it doesn't treat everyone equally?

this is why we have to fight for it. the system won't do anything in our favour unless we force their hand. i, as a young depressed artist with not much money to spare, can't do much on my own, so i just make art about nipple equality in the hopes that it changes at least one person's mind about this unfair system. (if you want to support me, you can follow my art blog @sandu7174 and reblog some of my posts. i'd greatly appreciate it ❤️🏳️‍⚧️.)

the act of censoring female-presenting nipples stems from a very old, deeply-ingrained misogynistic idea that women must cover their bodies to prevent men from being attracted to them, which is exactly why it has to change. these aren't the 1800s anymore. women aren't men's property anymore (at least not in western countries). it's time we let go of this ancient and ridiculous standard for women and let all nipples roam free.

gender equality is worth fighting for. women's rights are worth fighting for. trans rights are worth fighting for. intersex rights are worth fighting for. nipple equality is worth fighting for.

i need more people to talk about topfreedom. because the situation that we're at right now is really bad. it's REALLY REALLY BAD. there is a very strong inequality between men and women in this issue that it's genuinely revolting to me how it's so normalised and everyone seems to completely accept it. this society prides itself in being progressive and inclusive and respectful of women, yet no one fucking talks about this very prevalent part of misogyny.

it devastates me. i hate living in this inequal world which has so thoroughly sexualised and demonised human breasts. it fucks me up really really badly. and the fact that i'm transmasculine doesn't help at all. sometimes i feel better about it; i think to myself that maybe this society will be better someday. but other times i feel worse; i wonder if i we'll ever have topfreedom. if we'll even have it during my lifetime. is this really what my whole life is going to be like? being bound by misogynists, forced to cover myself forever, obliged to hide myself whilst people with masculine chests get to roam free?

i try to take my own steps as best i can. i make art and normalise exposed nipples within it. i try to send a message that female-presenting nipples are just the same as male-presenting ones, they shouldn't be separated, they should be seen and treated as the exactly same thing. i encourage everyone else to do the same. whether you make art or not. just because the big things matter more, doesn't mean the little things don't also count. it would mean a lot to me and many others.

it just depresses me really badly how these are the social media platforms we are doomed to use for our daily interactions. instagram. youtube. tiktok. facebook. they all ban female nipples. why do they do that? short answer: rampant misogyny. long answer: this post of mine.

this isn't fucking okay. this isn't treating humans equally. it isn't respecting of human rights. it's vile and sexist. it's misogyny justified by law. it's the deeply ingrained power of the cis man trying to have as much power over women and their bodies as possible which still strongly affects our society today. it has to be tackled.

something needs to fucking change. radical action has to take place. something CONCRETE has to happen.

i'm so tired of waiting.

the fact that we don't have topfreedom genuinely hurts me

like i'm not even kidding

i feel like absolutely shit

this world i was placed in which demonises something i can't control? a part of my body that grew on me without asking? fucking sucks. what a fucking cunt.

like it's actually fucking incredible if you think about it. female and male nipples are SO FUCKING SIMILAR, yet they get treated SO DIFFERENTLY. ALL because of misogyny. it fucks me up, especially as a transmasc person. it fucks me up so fucking badly.

like i'm glad i have these views now. i'm glad i've desexualised and normalised female-presenting nipples for myself. i'm glad i did that because i've worked through subconscious misogynistic biases and eliminated them to an extent. i'd like to say i'm a better person because of it. less misogynistic at least. but boy at what a cost. at what a fucking painful cost.

the "freethenipple" hashtag at instagram is fucking hidden, by the way. there's some fucked up knowledge for ya. fucking christ, the misogyny. everyone uses instagram, yet that platform is fucking seeping with misogyny, and no one cares. no one fucking cares.

what the fuck can we do to make this change?? what can we do to make "free the nipple" popular again? 'cause i need something to happen, like, right now, or else i'm going insane.

my main beliefs:

- all good faith lgbtq+ identities are valid, even the seemingly contradictory ones like mspec lesbian

- all nipples are equal, censoring nipples is misogynistic

- displaying female-presenting nipples should be unbanned everywhere

- if someone does something that hurts no one, they should be allowed to do it

- all kinkshaming is bad

- bodyshaming and fatshaming is bad, including shaming someone for: being bald, having a small penis, having bad hygiene

- not being addicted is a privilege, not a virtue
