All females should be able to safely exist shirtless when the situation is necessary or comfortable. We should be able to do this without being sexualized.
I have nothing but the utmost love and respect for my sisters who have had mastectomies, but I am side-eyeing the hell out of the many, many women I see lately talking about getting top surgery just so that they can be shirtless outside.
Listen up, friends. We should fight for a new world, instead. We should fight for spaces where the female body can embrace as much freedom as the male body is regularly allowed to have without gross sexualization. We have the right to bare chests. Liberating yourself from the mindset of “not being able to be shirtless” because you have breasts might just be the best thing you ever do for yourself. Your breasts don’t hold you back from this experience - society’s expectation for what those breasts mean is what holds you back. It’s not physical, it’s cultural, and every Woman deserves to be able to to be bare chested without being in danger.
look at andromache and quynh’s costumes in the old guard. because we should totally talk about it and how these characters aren’t sexualized one bit during the entire film. no breast plates. no thigh high slits. no bare midriffs. just warriors wearing clothes designed to protect them in a fight. clothes that represents their character, their origin, not designed to please the male gaze. this is why we need more women in the industry. the old guard is directed by a black woman, produced by women, and has strong lead female characters. support.
@forgetfulhippocampus and I had a photo shoot. Here’s some highlights.
Absolutely in LOVE with these pictures and this woman.
Standard theory holds that spiral galaxies generally have arms that trail behind the spin of the galaxy, rather like a Catherine wheel firework.
Then there is NGC 4622 which doesn’t, with arms that seem to lead rather than trail the spiral rotation.
Modelling suggests it’s most likely the outcome of an impact, but still remains a matter of conjecture and interest by astronomers.
The galaxy is located in the Southern Sky, in the constellation of Centauri and is 111 million light years from us.
Congratulations to Christine and Emma on their big day! Both Christine and Emma are wearing custom Kipper Clothiers garments.
