In light of the #Boobment Movement, we posted this question to our CP users on Facebook:
Here are some of your best responses:
“Not really demeaning if they choose to do it themselves, I’d say. It’s not like they’re forced to.” – Andrew
“It’s all in good fun! It can’t be demeaning if the women post the pictures themselves…” – Mandi
“Guys will say in good fun. Girls will say demeaning.” – Michael
“Sounds like typical college to me.” – Michael
“Completely demeaning. Just another way to play into society’s acceptance of objectifying women.” – Nikki
“Only about as demeaning as men showing their chests. Their bodies, their choices, and that’s it, period.” – Sarah Victoria
“Wow, really? If guys were doing the same thing, would that be considered demeaning? If people are choosing to do it, I don’t see how it can be considered deameaning…” – Carl
“I think it is great! When they try to get a job and do not due to the employer finding these pictures it will be one less person I have competition with!;-)” – Sara Ann
“Stupid. What about self respect and being classy? It seems like both of those have been forgotten.” – Christina
“Breasts aren’t even really a ‘private part.’ It’s not like they’re showing their genitals, so I don’t see the big deal. I don’t applaud it but I don’t condemn it either.” – Frank
“As a middle aged woman scarred from breast cancer, I say show ‘em if you want and don’t look if you don’t want to see. The human body, as long as its not being exploited or disrespected, is a beautiful thing.” – Chrissy
“Anyone have the name of the twitter account….it’s..for a friend XD in all seriousness it’s up to them, they are capable of making their own choices and they’ll have to deal with the consequences.” – Claudy
“This just set women’s rights back twenty years.” – Veronica
“‘All in good fun’ has been the excuse for a variety of maladies and injustices. Women are still very much objectified in today’s society.” – Chantel
Thank you for the great and thoughtful discussion!
