I address that point that some woman want to wear burkas, just as some women don't want to show their boobs. Just because most men don't want to be tempted by seeing boobs, some women don't want to see boobs either. But regardless of men or women neither should be dictating how some woman want to show their body. Also, while I use the term "men" I really mean "any person that sexualizes a woman over their physical ap…

> But regardless of men or women neither should be dictating how some woman want to show their body. But, they can dictate how some men want to show their body? *shakes head* Firstly, you claimed that men are the problem, not that people who object are the problem. This new claim is a different claim. Secondly, whether you like it or not, women are more likely to complain of male nudity in a venue than men are to com…

> Secondly, whether you like it or not, women are more likely to complain of male nudity in a venue than men are to complain of female nudity in a venue, yet you want to portray the argument as "men are the problem".

Source? Anecdotally living in the South, it is overwhelmingly men complaining about women not properly conforming to their sensibility regarding modesty.

I've never heard it the other way around, and you claiming it is an undisputed fact "where I like it or not" is bizarre to me.

Not being funny, but there are plenty of western countries that don't go around censoring this stuff. There's one massive leader in it.

Ironically the same county that doesn’t see an issue with guns and graphic violence. I’ll never understand how a nipple is more offensive than shooting someone.

Idk, I think he's got you with the "sub out for dick" thing. We live in an (I hope) egalitarian democracy and what's acceptable to display is dictated by our polis. Can this same be said regarding women wearing burkas in Afghanistan. >most men don't want to be tempted by seeing boobs Just lol

A woman's boob is not equivalent to a man's penis. If anything, a vagina is is the equivalent to a penis, as both organs are used as part of sex. A boob is not normally used as part of sex. That being said, if we all agree that no genders can show their sexual organs then that's fine. That's at least an equally applied rule. However the issue here is that some men, and some women too, find it bothers them to see boob…

It wasn't even her breasts. It was a cardboard dummy shaped like her torso.

"Name three"

Netherlands. Literally all of our classic movies features a dick in plain sight. Yes, even Rutger Hauer shows all his features in Turks Fruit

It's the same thing . It's fighting against the stupid view that two lumps under your flesh are somehow evil and must be hidden away or punished somehow (but only if you're a woman), or that touching your crotch on television is an arrestable offence, or any other thing in that long list of stupidity. It's about having rights over your own body, such that you can say "You don't like what you see? Well too bad, becaus…

> Here's an interesting thought experiment: A man gets breast implants and then goes around topless like he did before. Can you imagine the chaos that ensues? The legal questions? The social commentary about "decency"? The traumatized children? Can you see the hypocracy? I’m curious if you are suggesting that is perfectly acceptable that, in a society that prohibits topless women from walking around, it would be perf…

That's what Facebook enforces, yes. "Male" chests are fine, "Female" chests are not.

For any Westerners here who seem to have a hard time understanding why this is wrong: Look at an even more women-oppressing culture such as that of Afghanistan under the Taliban. Women are required to cover their faces in public. Why? For "modesty." What it boils down to is that if women show their faces it could have a negative effect on men (sexual attraction). A lot of people where are shaming her for being essent…

She seems capable of doing both. Especially if by body you mean boundaries.

I do not follow Naomi Wu but one of the funniest moments in the movie "The aviator" is the scene in which Hughes (di Caprio) tries to convince the censoring bureau (whatever its name is) that showing part of (I forget the actress) a female breast is NOT pornography.

That sequence has stayed with me for the clear depiction of prudishness and stupidity to which people can reach when censoring something.
