Free the Nipple! The Problem With How We Think About Breasts | TIME http://time.com/3631924/free-the-nipple-breasts-sex-symbol/
I’ve spent several afternoons topless in various New York City venues with The Co-ed Topless Pulp Fiction Appreciation Society and found myself marveling at how delightful it felt to revel in the sun shining on my bare skin on a hot summer day. Theirs is a social, not political, group, but one whose simple actions can have a similar kind of effect to the Free the Nipple movement. By normalizing toplessness, we’re taking away some of the cultural power that dictates women’s breasts can only be sex symbols, which is the kind of thinking that leads to schools banning visible bra straps.
The right to be topless doesn’t have to be about a larger cause. The bare facts should be enough.
