1. Women Take On Body Censorship With Help From Male
Nipples And Photoshop
Male nipples are having a moment, and its surprisingly all in the name of freeing the female body
from censorship.
Last June, artist Micol Hebron posted an image of a male nipple on Facebook and suggested that
women replace their nipples with the template to make them acceptable for social media.
TBT to that time, over a year ago (June 2014) that I posted an image of male nipple and told

The idea recently began to recirculate across social media, and women are using Photoshop to cover
their bare breasts with male nipples. Though some photo-sharing platforms routinely remove
women's images in which their nipples are exposed, men's topless photos are fair game.
Which provides an obvious solution:
According to Instagram's community guidelines, "female nipples" are allowed in posts, but only in
certain contexts.
The Free The Nipple movement, a campaign focused on the general censorship of womens nipples,
also urged women to upload images and replace their offending lady areolae with virtual male nipple
stickers. Free The Nipple advocates for equal rights for men and women as well as the right to
comfortably breastfeed in public. It spreads its mission through social media and a film (aptly titled
"Free The Nipple") that "follows a group of young women who take to the streets of New York City
topless, to protest the archaic censorship laws in the United States."
Singer Courtney Love shared her support for the campaign with an Instagram post recalling
Hebron's idea and challenging the photo-sharing platform's guidelines.
Other celebrities to get behind Free The Nipple include Miley Cyrus and Lena Dunham. Most
recently, Chrissy Teigen had NSFW photos from a W Magazine photo shoot taken down and
responded with another topless pic and a strategically placed hairspray bottle.

Whether it's a hairspray bottle or a male nipple, covering female nipples is easy. But if the Free The
Nipple movement and its supporters have anything to do with it, it will soon be unnecessary.
