Free The Nip-ple Protest - Eye Candy or Groundbreaking by pickabeau1: 10:04am On May 23, 2015 |
University of Califonia San Diego (UCSD) students undressed in protest of public exposure laws and the sexualization of female nipples on Library Walk during the Free the Nipple event on Wednesday. UCSD alumna and event organizer Anni Ma explained to the UCSD Guardian that the existing laws propagate injustice. “When I saw a covered-up nipple that protruded out from a woman’s shirt and people making fun of it, I felt that it was unfair that women [aren’t] able to walk around without a bra and be comfortable,” Ma said. “Then, I started to wonder why I can’t walk around without a shirt when men can do that.” The event began with Ma announcing at the beginning of the event that she will “free” her br.easts, after which both male and female participants removed their shirts. Thurgood Marshall College junior Aubrey Oxley said to the Guardian that society has been coercing women to be afraid of exposing their bodies and there is no reason for women to be afraid of what is natural. “[As] women, we shouldn’t be uncomfortable with our bodies because these are the bodies that we have, these are the bodies that we are born with,” Oxley said. “There’s no reason for us to feel afraid other than just that what society has made us feel. We’ve been socialized to be afraid.” Eleanor Roosevelt College freshman Annika Reno stated that, although participating in the event made her feel uncomfortable, it was a necessary act. “It is uncomfortable for everyone, but it is something that needs to be done,” Reno said. “I think that the fact that it isn’t comfortable makes it even more compelling and revolutionary.” It was not until the 1930s that men in the United States were legally allowed to publicly expose their nipples. Now, women across the nation are campaigning for legalization of the public exposure of female nipples, declaring that it should be considered a right. According to Oxley, the movement began during the 2014 Topless March in New York City. Oxley discussed how the event instigated a change in people’s perceptions of female body parts. “Men actually had to cover up their nipples, as well, but that law changed. If you look back into centuries, past women couldn’t even show their ankles because ankles were sexualized,” Oxley said. “We live in a very misogynic society where women’s bodies are hypersexualized, and this movement is the first step [away from that].” Incoming UCSD Associated Students President Dominick Suvonnasupa told the Guardian that the event promotes gender equality in society. “I believe that men and women should have equal opportunity and equal rights. It might seem trivial to a lot of people, but why is it that there’s inequality between guys and girls?” Suvonnasupa said. “Why can’t they be topless when they want to?” The event concluded without any arrests or legal consequences after two hours. Ma said she believed the event was a success. “When you know you’re right, it’s not scary,” Ma told the Guardian. “I want everyone to be comfortable with their bodies and to be comfortable enough to see other people being comfortable [with] their own bodies.” http://ucsdguardian.org/2015/05/20/students-protest-nudity-laws-at-free-the-nipple-event/ See official event video below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ISs7SFSNYk this was discussed last year and the movement is gaining momentum will the feminists soon stage something similar in naija... please send me ticket o i support such movements cc: bukatyne naijababe ewuro4 Timbuktou cococandy TV01 damiso tearoses anonimi idowuogbo MizMyColi coogar 5minsmadness stillfire 3 Likes |

It is an open half nudity contest. They will only end up becoming more jealous of each other's brea.st. Those with pendulum anatomy will secretly beef those with orange size. I guess it is the beginning to agitate for cancellation of anti-prostitution law in California. 4 Likes 1 Share |

You know what? I support them. No more bras... Let's give our nipples a voice! Who's with me? My campaign will start on Nairaland Okay, *straight faced now* With the level of perverseness in the world, as a result of years and years of sexual and secular indoctrination, I think it suffices to leave the "cover-your-nipples" campaign as it is....at least, till our world regains sanity. 5 Likes |

Cutehector: A woman who openes her breast for all to see or a man who goes out in public with only boxers must be a retarded fOOl. What the hell are you saying?? Is breastfeeding a baby the same as walking braless on the street for the whole public view Answer this- when you see a woman breastfeeding ( which am sure you pay attention to peering at breasfeeding mothers as you have picked on it as an example) do you get to see the whole of her 2 breast? Or her nipples? Need I remind you that a breast feeding mums nipple is in her baby mouth and not for public viewing. 3 Likes |
