You can be relatively sure that most of the "nipples" you see are going to be on women you don't want to see topless - ever.

Don't let them sucker you into wasting your $$ like Tom Cruise does by masquerading his films as "action movies"..

Most of the man nipples I see are on men I don't want to see topless either, but I don't advocate for male toplessness to be considered obscene and an arrestable offense.

Actually, i just came across this article http://www.consumingcultures.net/2012/09/10/can-a-swimsuit-build-confidence-in-men-the-long-and-short-of-styles-part-1/

Here's a couple of paragraphs from it:
"Outside of Hollywood, men continued to be arrested for wearing shirtless suits on public beaches. In Boston, New York and Chicago, women often complained in editorials about the new shirtless trunks for men. Curiously, women weren’t affronted by male nudity but by the appearance of men’s bodies. Accustomed to seeing Johnny Weissmuller’s smooth, tanned chest and lean, muscular physique, women criticized that real men were “anything but handsome with their hairy spindle-shank legs” and chests.

When New York’s municipal beaches allowed shirtless bathing for the first time in 1936, the decision provoked heated protest from women’s groups who told reporters they “had no desire to gaze upon hairy chested men.” As a culture, we tend to think of beauty standards as applying primarily to women, but as the protests vocalized by groups of women in cities across the US reveal, men are not exempt."

Pretty funny that women actually protested against male toplessness and that it was mostly to do with the appearance of the average men, right?

so were women right to protest or were they wrong , and if they were right then why aren't men being forced to put on tops if they were wrong then why are women being forced to put on tops ?

[–] nuno-santana 9 years ago

What's funny is that the reason for their protests were really shallow. The reasoning wasn't moral, sexual or equality... it was because the average man looked gross lol Maybe if women start going topless more often men will organize protests against saggy boobs, i dunno lol

I don't even think most men are against women having the right to go topless, what they are against is the notion that breasts shouldn't be viewed as sexual.

This is exactly why I do not want to see women topless. Boobs sweat, some have bumpy nipples, some are hairy, some are pretty. It is just way too much information. Will hairy butts and penises be out and about next? Should I shoot myself now?

[–] CommieTT 7 years ago

IvyTempleton: Yes.

Actually many women whose faces have been affected by age still have beautiful breasts.

If it is true that men would not be interested in seeing most nipples on women then it would help for them to actually see that. Men and women should have the freedom to choose to see or not see and to show or not show.

Also, I do not understand how Tom Cruise is relevant, since the women in his movies are beautiful and men enjoy seeing their breasts.

[–] IvyTempleton 7 years ago

How are we choosing to see if it becomes Ok to walk around toppless? I have to be crammed on a subway with boobs everywhere? As I said above what is next penises out? I am MORE than sure men would love to be bottemless. They love that more than they love breasts.

Why are they OK with junior high school girls being topless in this film?

[–] Sam-953-169285 7 years ago

I don't know you so I don't know how you decide to see whatever when it is okay for women to be topless.

[–] IvyTempleton 7 years ago

Meaning it's not a choice. I don't get to choose if I want to see topless women. If it's in public then it's forced upon me. That's what nude beaches and colonies are for.

[–] Sam-953-169285 7 years ago

I said:

Men and women should have the freedom to choose to see or not see and to show or not show.

I said nothing about whether that should or should not be public. That is a separate subject and I intentionally avoided it.

As it is now, legally the female nipple must be hidden in millions of locations even when everyone is an adult and everyone present wants it to be free. Meaning it's not a choice and instead the female nipple is quite often used for profit in the limited locations it is allowed to be shown.
