Free the Nip . . . but Not Yours

It seems that plastic surgery for nipples is on an upswing. The reason why? Well, now that Free the Nipple is a thang, some women are feeling pressured to not show the nips they have naturally, but some society standard of the Perfect Nipple. Because, of course they did. Because, of course, some standard of the Perfect Nipple somehow becomes the only socially acceptable nipple to show.

This completely COMPLETELY defeats the purpose of what this movement was trying to do. Free the Nipple was about making female nipples no more sexualized or forbidden than male nipples. And when I say 'no more than'  we have to recognize that male chests are still sexualized, just not to the extent that people feel they have to be covered up and shamed.

This movement was meant to ease the burden of the sexual pressure on women. It was supposed to help women to normalize on social settings, so what they wear and how they look would be less of a factor.

But no. No, it can't be that. The more the female nipple becomes free, the bigger cage someone is going to put it in. There just really is no damned way to win with these people.
