Let me preface this by saying I couldn't care less if women want go topless in public. It doesn't offend me in the slightest.
However, the fact that Cara Delevingne and others are actually campaigning for this beggars belief. With all that's going on in the world, they choose THIS as a cause worthy of championing? Maybe I'm missing something and they're just larking about but Cara and others seem to be putting a lot of thought and energy into it.
I must be a real crusty old fart because I truly can't begin to understand why somene would want to spent time on this and not campaign for more serious women's rights issues like domestic violence or sexual abuse, or ANY other issues currently affecting our societies and our planet.
Are these people as vain, shallow, self-obsessed, ignorant, and ridiculous as they are painting themselves as? I really think they are. I wory, too, that it won't be long before more and more younger people care about things like Free The Nipple more than they care about the sort of issues women face that can lead to suffering and death.

Like I said, it doesn't bother me. But to campaign for it? They have too much time on their hands and not enough brains in their heads.
This is not about women going topless in public. This campaign started because people get their social media accounts suspended if they show photographs of women topless.
Even some transparent dress in a catwalk, if you can see a nipple, instagram and the likes will take it down. It's a bit hysterical.
But i agree with you, that are better this to "campaign" about.
Thanks for educating me - I had no idea that's how this campaign started and I do think social media behaves ridiculously when it comes to what they will censor (yet let pro terrorism stuff remain!).
To campaign about it still gets on my wick though. These airheaded girls should take a leaf out of Angelina Jolie's book - now there is a celebrity who is to be admired when it comes to charity work and raising awarenss.
Though I expect all they'll achieve is Facebook book banning mens' nips too.
What about campaiging against domestic violence or sexual abuse or just ANYTHING else other than the farce they are currently promoting? As I said, Angelina Jolie is a great role model when it comes to humantarian work.
These lot are just self obsessed airheads after a bit of attention. It's embarrassing.
I'm not disputing that.
My issue is how self-obsessed and attention seeking Cara and co are coming across, chosing to focus on this rather unimportant thing now when there are so much more urgent matters they could show some consideration to.
Like another poster said, they are just coming across like they want to show off and get some publicity for it. I find their antics desperate and pathetic.
That alone would put me on their side.
