"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".

Just because other people get rights, it doesn't mean, you loose any or that your rights loose value.

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.

Note: This source is the United Methodist Church, a fundamental, traditionalist denomination which used to ban homosexuals from ministry, and only changed their stance last year (though this article is older than that, it has been a point of division in the church for a while). Just to show that this is not biased.

This is one of my older A-line skirts from Anna Field but I still love it! Today is also definitely a heels day. Unfortunately, the gray weather makes it difficult to capture photos that aren’t slight blurred. That should get better as the weather improves.

Today’s beskirted outfit. It’s a grey day today so black and white felt appropriate. I also didn’t feel like heels today, so I’m going flat-footed.
Meet the Honourable Steven Guilbeault, who is Carney's Minister responsible for the Department for Women and Gender Equality.
I regularly post pictures of my outfits with skirts on Instagram. Should I start doing it here too?

'The bill defines social transitioning as “any act by which a minor adopts or espouses a gender identity that differs from the minor’s biological sex … including without limitation changes in clothing, pronouns, hairstyle, and name.”
As the ACLU of Arkansas notes, if enacted, H.B. 1668 could lead to frivolous lawsuits against “hairdressers who cut a trans teen’s hair, teachers who use a student’s chosen name, and nonprofits that offer support.” Such lawsuits, the organization says, would be unlikely to hold up in court, as the First Amendment guarantees the right to free speech and free expression.
However, the law is clearly meant to chill support for trans and gender-nonconforming young people with the threat of costly lawsuits. Describing the bill as “state-mandated bullying,” the ACLU of Arkansas writes that “H.B. 1668 fosters a climate of fear, where doctors, teachers, and even parents risk financial ruin simply for supporting transgender youth. It is a blatant overreach of government power, attempting to control private decisions and to circumvent our constitutional rights, including free speech, religious exercise, due process, and equal protection.”'
