Last but not least: Nipplegate for a better world
As is well known, Facebook is an American company and therefore always acts in the name of public decency. The sight of a woman’s breast, for example, clearly goes too far. A so-called “Nipplegate” is supposed to help.
But it's not just wannabe amateur porn stars, housewives hoping for a lucrative side job, drunken it-girls on bar counters and revealing topless beauties on the beach in Hawaii that are a thorn in the side of the moral guardians or Nipplegate. No, mothers who engage in the most natural, sexless, unobscene and primal of all activities - breastfeeding - must also expect to be banned from Facebook. If they post photos of themselves and their baby doing just that.
Of course, that doesn't suit everyone. The website Tera.ca for example, collects information on deleted photos showing mothers breastfeeding their babies - almost 400 cases have now been collected. A Facebook group has even been set up under the name "Hey Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!". It already has over 3,700 members. In Australia, the Minister for Women in the province of South Australia also called on Facebook to stop preventing the depiction of breastfeeding mothers. She announced that she would write directly to Mark Zuckerberg on this matter. Protests are also planned in several European cities. The protesters are right. Down with the demonization of breastfeeding. And preferably also down with Nipplegate. Unless Facebook introduces Dickgate. If women aren't allowed to, men shouldn't be allowed to either. After all, we live in the age of equality.
