Long-time member of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee here! Discovering bralettes and embracing my tiny titties was a revelation for me. I spent so much time and money trying to make my boobs look bigger with padding, pushup, what-have-you, and now I feel so freeeeeee.

I think deconstructing, examining, and analyzing customs/ideas/constructs has value, as a Socratic/Platonic ideal, but taking it too far becomes paralyzing.

Okay, who ungreyed the cockroach eating its own asshole?

*glances down at F-cups firmly ensconced in literally the only bra that works on them*

It’s also that we primarily communicate more casually (emails, texts, tweets, etc.) via writing, where misinterpretation is much easier. So, combine people who seem to be looking to be offended (or to act like they’re offended) with the causal nature of writing and you get our current outrage machine.

This. For those who don’t speak New Agey mumbo-jumbo, allow me to translate: “I like taking pictures of naked women and getting progressive brownie points while I do it.”

I didn’t miss it. But the photo above is from a different “event” that did include men. He’s excluding men from the Republican convention stunt and only wants to use (perfect word) women.

I don’t think that’s the case with this artist. Calling conceptual art pretentious is a completely fair assessment though. As a fine art degree holder I can attest to that 100%.

We each have a choice here and I’ve made mine: this guy is full of shit and just wants to see titty on parade. That’s what I believe. I don’t care if he’s used (and that is the perfect word) men in the past (yeah I got that) - he’s not for this.

LOL, no, fuck off.

Would I feel differently if it were a woman artist? Yes. Absolutely. I’d still think it was stupid, and I’d still have major problems with the message of “earth mother pretty lady” bullshit. But I wouldn’t actively dislike the artist as much.

Like, even if he’d said “for our sisters” I might have bought it as some hippie dippie peace and love thing. “For our daughters” —> more patriarchal bullshit (and also creepy because nekkid)

Originally I thought the artist was female, and my thought was “this woman is so far up her own ass she’s probably coming out of her own mouth.”

White guys can’t love women or have daughters? Wot is right, Hodor.

YEEEEEEPPPPPPP

Yeah, I’m not really thrilled with the reinforcement of the idea of women’s bodies as an “embodiment of nature” more than men’s bodies. The woman-as-nurturing-earth-mother-figure is not necessarily feminist. When it’s used to suggest that women are fundamentally different from men—more nurturing, more connected to…

O my gerd, so much yes to this!

BOOBS

Yeah, I have a hard time seeing it as anything else too. It’s amazing how naked women can be used as a symbol for nearly anything. Thing is, no matter what the subject, it’s still objectification. This thing is especially dubious since it’s a white dude yelling “for our daughters!” LOL, wut?

Maybe it’s just me, but somehow I get the sense that Trump fans aren’t going to recognize this as art/protest and simply will go “HURR DURR! LOOKIT THEM NAKED BROADS!!!”
