It appears that many women throughout
the US
believe they should have the same right to go without a shirt as men do. I
agree and for all the same arguments presented in this article. The only thing
that would surprise me is if ANYTHING would happen here in Wichita as to "Go Topples Day."
This (Wichita) is the most socially conservative and anal retentive community
I have ever lived in. -សតិវអតុ

What do Miley
Cyrus, Liv Tyler and Lena Dunham have in common? All three of them are
passionately involved in a titillating cause that's ready to take the world on
in a bare-chested brawl.
These women, and
many other people of all genders, are part of the Free The Nipple movement.
The movement,
which has over 90,000 tagged posts on Instagram and over 100,000 followers on
their official Twitter account, aims to equalize the rights of men and women.
Throughout the
nation, women who dare to bare can receive fines and even jail time. Even in
places where female public toplessness has been legalized, such as New York City , women are
still arrested for this act.
The Free The
Nipple movement is not just about allowing women to walk around without shirts
or breastfeeding in public.
Over the years
society has turned a natural action into a shameful behavior. Women are
expected to cover themselves for the sake of modesty.
Society's
sexualization of the female body has become the ultimate roadblock in the way
of allowing women the same rights as men. Men can walk around at a beach in America without
a top on and not be seen as sexual objects while a woman doing the same thing
would be gawked at.
Though Free The
Nipple (#FreeTheNipple) is getting a lot of attention in the world of social
media, it is not the only movement attempting to normalize female toplessness.
Other
organizations, such as GoTopless.Org and the Topfree Equal Rights Association,
are fighting the same fight.
