"because female-looking nipples are sexually explicit nudity but male-looking nipples aren't!"

"says who?"

".... Men!"

*gestures "there you go"*

"wElL aCtUaLlY, the ones who complain about women going topless in public are other women!"

1. This is not true. Look at the genders of most of the repliers on any social media post about #freeTheNipple

2. Even if it was, the presence of internalized #misogyny does not disprove #patriarchy.

3. Even if women were the ones to complain the loudest about other women going topless in public, men are the ones deciding on the legislation and censorship policies that categorize "female nipples" as "sexually explicit nudity" but not "male nipples".

Reminder that Bible passages which have been weaponized against homosexuality using bad English translations, were actually about pedophilia. The bigots began to equate pedophilia with homosexuality, which is not accurate to other language translations of the Bible, nor the previous 2,000 years of Christian theology. This lie is completely in line with Conservative ideology, which is always claiming that "queers are targeting our children" and that "drag is pedophilia", and the existence of queer kids is used as proof of "grooming" instead of proof of natural diversity.
