don't waste your time getting angry. these guys need a few lessons on biology, evolution and some sex-ed classes if they don't get why nipples have sexual connotations.

I actually agree with this. If a man can be topless in public, then so should women. A man's chest can be considered sexual, but usually isn't.

But "Feminism isn't about blaming men"!

Penises aren't inherently sexual, we also use them to urinate. We should be able to show them in public.

Actually, nipples have sexual connotations because of our human society's fixation on making them sexual. Yes, they can be used sexually, and yes, they can provide sexual pleasure, but so can other parts of the human body.

It is society's fixation with equating nudity = sexual/sexuality (in those cultures- like in the U.S.- where nudity is made taboo by its society's fixation with sex and attempting to control sex by using shame tactics) that makes nipples = sexual. They can be sexual, but they are not inherently sexual.

So I don't really see that this particular issue is something to become inflamed about.

Now, if the idea were something more about "we (women) should be allowed to show our nipples whenever we want, BUT you (men) can't look at us sexually when we do", I might agree with that- again, for the aforementioned reasons....

Just link to the wiki article on erogenous zones.
