In the springtime 2015 issue of Bitch magazine (a feminist publication), there is a review of the Free the Nipple movie. Like http://www.miamifamilyoffice.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=nudist8.top of the film, it questioned some implausible plot points and poor writing.

It is unfortunate that Lina Esco's directorial debut, Free the Nipple, which attempts to champion the power of grassroots activism, must focus on an issue that is of so little consequence in comparison to the violence, poverty and injustice that many face on a daily basis.
Yeah, why are we talking about nipples when there's homelessness and police violence and famished kids in 3rd world countriesright?
http://www.kaust.net/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=nudist18.xyz of thinking is so common it has a name the Fallacy of Comparative Privation. It is the argument that since dilemma A is more significant than dilemma B, we should consequently forget about B entirely and focus on A instead.
It is called a fallacy because the argument lacks cogency. It's a thoughtless way of trying to shut down a conversation about a particular matter or problem.
People, including feminists, attempt to use this argument constantly in regards to topfree equality. I have been a subscriber to Bitch for some time now and while I still believe they do great work, I was surprised and disappointed to see this obtuse manner of thinking coming from a well-revered feminist publication.
So let's talk about what is wrong with the fallacy and why topfree equality and Free the Nipple do matter.
You could employ the fallacy argument to any type of social dilemma (feminist or other).
Anyone could claim that sexist dress codes in schools are not as significant of an issue as domestic violence against women. Or that click in the media isn't as significant as ending female genital mutilation.
But herein lie the false premises that there's some objectively driven hierarchy of feminist issues. And that to bring about change, we must address certain problems in a chronological order one by one and only when one dilemma was repaired can we move to the following.
The reality is that many people care about or are invested in distinct causes concurrently. There's no actual or set hierarchy. When folks talk about topfree equality, no one is saying that it's the most significant issue facing girls right now or that we have to blow off all the causes to realize it.
Another issue with the hierarchy strategy is that it assumes that issue A and problem B are mutually exclusive and not linked. But equality issues are oftentimes associated, even when they do not appear to be.
In the instance of of topfreedom, it shouldn't be hard to see the direct connection this dilemma has to sexual objectification, road harassment, slut-shaming, problems around public breastfeeding, and how it's part of a long history of society's effort to police women's bodies and sexuality.
Free the Nipple: same arguments, distinct decade meme
To give girls the right to go topfree in people is a powerful assertion. It means giving women autonomy over their own bodies together with their sexuality and how they decide to express it.
Topfree equality means challenging the notion a girl's state of dress or undress determines her authorization, sexuality or even her worth as a person.
http://htc-tech.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=nudistphoto.xyz may have done a less than stellar job of communicating these thoughts, but that isn't any reason to ignore its entire effort or message.
Anyone who believes in equality should be aware of that there's worth in fighting inequality on every level. There's lots of room for everyone, especially at the gender equality table.
Even should youn't feel drawn to the cause of topfree equality or don't care to go topless in public yourself, ever, you can still join the discussion without blowing off others' ideas, thoughts and feelings.
Free the Nipple also touches upon a variety of other problems. Anyone can put it to use as a starting point for launching their own conversations about equality.
