Internet users across the globe are being encouraged to participate in an ongoing campaign to #FreeTheNipple aimed at stopping the ‘ambiguous and totally sexist’ social media guidelines against displaying the nipples.
In a bid to get around the Instagram and Facebook authoritarians, and continue to show up the ridiculous double standards, people are being encouraged to Photoshop ‘acceptable’ male nipples over ‘unacceptable’ female nipples, according to Metro UK.
The campaign was initiated over the weekend by artist Micol Hebron and shared by US musicians Our Lady J and the band La Sera.
One of the La Sera musicians, Katy Goodman, disclosed on Saturday, July 4, 2015 that she got a couple of Facebook messages already warning her to put down the nipple post which was considered as offensive.

However, just as the saying of, ‘one man’s meat is another’s poison,’ goes, about 1500 persons are totally cool with the nipples according to La Sera.

The post has been shared over 160,000 times and American singer, Miley Cyrus might have been a victim as two nipples had already been photo shopped to her chests in a viral photo.
