'Courtney Demone wants to know at what point Facebook and Instagram will deem her breasts worthy of censorship, so she’s documenting their growth to find out.'
"#FreeTheNipple has failed to show the diverse ways in which people with differing bodies are sexualized, fetishized, exoticized and shamed. It has also failed to recognize that baring her nipples doesn’t mean freedom for every woman."
This is pretty interesting and relevant to my topic as it investigates at what point the female body becomes unacceptable to society, and really makes me wonder why?
It initially seems like breasts are the demonised part of the body, as she will only be censored when she has boobs. However from what I've seen it appears that it is only the female nipple which is offensive, as people can show cleavage or the breast with a covered nipple without it being deemed obscene.
Are trans men's breasts considered obscene? Some cisgender men have breasts and they are permitted to expose themselves in public.
What's the deal with the female nipple?
