Your niece is presumably a child, which is why she needs things explained to them to avoid getting her in trouble. Comparing this to telling grown women they should cover up because you know better than them what's good for them is incredibly asinine, and yes it's textbook mansplaining.
Huh? Why the hell would I want to censor men nipples? I don't want to censor anything.
"Considered" by society, which is what many people want to change,
It's not a fetish but your attraction to them should have no bearing on whether or not women should be allowed to expose them. Some men are foot fetishists, should we ban bare feet in beaches, dojos, etc.?
1. My niece will be an adult one day, as will her peers. The fact is that even if I told her when she is an adult she can go bare, it won't change her peers' minds. Not just the men mind you. That's my point.
2. 3. don't really address what I was saying, I know you don't want to censor male nipples and that you feel that this issue should change, obviously.
4. It isn't a fetish because it's
common enough to basically be considered a sexual thing by basically everything, male or female (even monkeys). Which is why women don't show their nipples generally and uh, well, well gay or straight or whatever men know that nipples are sexual, whether it arousing them or not.
Bringing up an actual fetish for a comparison basically nulls your entirely point. But pretty much, as my 2nd point was trying to address, this isn't about MORE censorship for male nipples anyway, so what's the point for anyone to bring it up?
You can go back and see the many parallels I made that this issue, that while technically sexist, shouldn't bring about change if that's the only reason for dialogue. I know of many girls who expressed that they were jealous of men because they could go topless. I know of quite a few reasons why they wanted to. What society has is a compromise. Cover the nipples. It doesn't suck enough for women to warrant some big movement by
facebook, which brings me to my image.
* should be "without a NSFW link"
I left out a final point since I ran out of space due to my horrible paint skills.
Facebook does not, like YouTube or whatever, have a NSFW warning on any of its images.
Also feel free to make your own graph showing your
opinion. That is would be easy and would greatly benefit the women who want to go bare.
