Basically it was an attempt to address the nonsensical inequalities between men and women, like how it's socially acceptable for men to be topless but not women.
Personally, I don't really know anyone who was strongly opposed to the movement, though the ones I knew who strongly supported it definitely had different motivations than was intended.
@TehPers@beehaw.org like treating the body as a sexual object ??๐ค๐ค
I don't know whether you're a woman or not, but in case if you are, are you aware how the elastic bras can affect your chest region in the long run ??
I am not, though the complaints I've heard about bras were more due to back issues than the chest. Do they cause issues with the chest itself?
@TehPers@beehaw.org l'm not a medical person. I can only say that clothing is the environment your body lives in for hours. And your body needs air and sunshine to thrive properly. Cotton is of course the best material to be in, since it comes directly from trees.
Free the Nipple was/is a social movement aimed at women's equality. As a guy, I only read a bit about it.
It aimed to give women more rights that men already have, like being topless in public (hence the name).
Wish I knew more, but I actually haven't heard much about it in recent years.
@IntrovertTurtle@lemmy.zip in our culture, the worship of Kali is very popular. According to the scriptures, the Divine Mother is nude. But not everybody can tolerate such an image.
You piqued my curiosity so I'm going to show you what I found

@Quexotic@beehaw.org these images do resemble Kali in some aspects.
