What is the goal of the body positivity? Cultural Evolution or road into degeneracy?

I think that the main goal of body positivity is to lower the pressure to look in a certain way and put so much value on your appearance. I don't agree with everything that this movement does or promotes, but I think that these two points are really important.

less attention generated of it

I think there would be enough women who would agree on it. First of all, not all women even enjoy this level of attention. I prefer to dress "modestly", because I don't like people staring and I don't have photos in my social medias, as I had enough perverts in my DMs.

Why do I need to show my tits to the world on instagram?

Well, I can't relate to it, but the real life thing is quite bothersome. I have to wear bras, because nipples are sexualized and I don't want people staring. Breast-feeding mothers have to somehow hide themselves, so they'd feed a child.

should you not be allowed to show you vagina

You're distorting here. I'm not sure about social networks, but hiding your nipples in real life can be quite uncomfortable, especially in the summer. Thin bras don't actually hide anything and thick bras are just too hot to wear. And don't let me start on looking for a bra that wouldn't show itself under your summer dress or top.

people will then latch on to the next thing to normalize

It is the same argument as people use to oppose homosexuality. "What if we normalize it and what next? People will start having sex with dogs or fucking your kids! Beware!"

The goal of body positivity is for not conventionally attractive people to get the same benefits as attractive people get, that's it.

Body positivity is an American thing. It's agenda is to normalize the obesity Americans have from being bombarded with chemicals. They want us to think it's genetic so we don't see we are being poisoned.

body positivity's ultimate goal is so society sees fat women as attractive as thin ones

fat women want to be considered hot too, so they push this idea in the hopes that it'lwork and hot dudes will want to dick them down and wife them up

also one thing i never got about the whole positivity thing is why is it so focused on body and not face? being judged on the basis of your unattractive face is way worse than body, because at least body types are malleable while faces mostly arent. you're stuck with your ugly face for life save some situations where surgery can change it meanwhile if youre fat just put down the spoon. ive never heard of a "face positivity" movement or "unconventional face" models. even plus size models have conventionally attractive faces with less fat on them than the average overweight person does.

It’s all about equality. Obese women want to be considered equals with non-obese women. Women want to be able to show their nipples just as men can. I don’t think that you’ll see a free the vagina movement because that would be an opening for men to be able to show their junk freely and women don’t want to see unattractive men’s junk.

The body positivity and body acceptance movement was supposed to be for burn victims, people with missing limbs, birth marks, birth defects. It was about dealing with and accepting conditions people don't have in their hands and can't change.

Today the movement is about removing oneself from the consequences of one's own actions. People are eating themselves in an early gravet? They would love to have it labelled hate speech should anyone point out the dangerous medical misinformation their are using to apologize their behaviour.
Untalented musicians/social media people are using sex to sell their non-sex related products and get called out for it?
"Oh look, we have found the Incel. You can't stand seeing an emanzipated body positive strong whamen, can you? My body, my choice! You are just an misogynist man pig, your opinion doesn't matter! What, you are a woman?!? You are suffering from internalized misogyny, gurl! You should stop acting like a gender traitor and start reading about how feminist dance theory and body positivity helps fighting the patriarchy! Sorry guuurl, but until then you don't have anything to say to me...*fingersnap* byyyyeeee"

The body positivity umbrella is indeed used as an vehicle for degeneracy and it's creating an environment of lacking personal responsibility for one's own actions.

It's a shit test. Betas will "respect wahmen" and force themselves to ignore the obviously sexual. Alphas will get more girls. As the sun rises, so it sets.

Just to flip over that question - why should women have to wear a top? The people who want to enforce the law that women must wear tops are the ones who need to provide an argument for it.

I enjoy being toplesss because it feels nice. It feels nice to have fresh air and sun on my body. Why wouldnt I want to experience that by removing my top?

> I think it could be a slippery slop into degeneration

This is easily proven false by looking at the numerous beaches in Europe where its common for women to be topless. They have certainly not 'slipped' into 'degeneracy' Its the same as a normal beach, accept there are some tits.
