#genderequality — Public Fediverse posts

I posted this to Instagram since it's most relevant there, but thought I'd post it here as well in case there are other male presenting people in mastodon that could make use of the new viewpoint from a #freeTheNipple #toplessEquality #activist who is sick of having anti-censorship #malePrivilege shoved in my face even by self-professed allies

It description:

To those of you who support my mission for anti #censorship #genderEquality freetheneepel/topleesh equality*, I have one request:

When you're posting topleesh content to the many, many #sexist #nisogynist anti #feminism mainstream platforms run by #thePatriarchy, PLEASE censor out ALL neepels, not just "female presenting neepels) (look the phrase up at knowyourmeme.com for a fun time, lol). I ask this for two reasons:

1. Honestly, given how sexist our society is, it's as shocking to see" male presenting neepels" that ARE censored as "female presenting neepels" that AREN'T. so if you share my goals of highlighting the hypocrisy of gender-based censorship, this is a great way to do it.

2. While I value our male - presenting allies, it feels a bit like a slap in the face when you flex your privilege by posting your "male presenting neepels" knowing full well that we can't. It's a bit like standing in front of someone with dietary restrictions and deliberately eating the thing we can't eat right in front of us. I know it's a challenge to everyone to step outside of our own world experiences enough to realize something might be a problem for others without being a problem for us, but teaching ourselves empathy is a cornerstone of the lifelong effort to be better people overall ❤️

Thanks for reading! I'm really not trying to sound H condescending, just maybe raising the issue to men posting themselves topleesh without a second thought, despite considering themselves allies of the topleesh equality cause.

*sorry as always for the incoherent baby talk, but as longtime followers know, haters have weaponized false flagging to get my content unfairly banned so many times already that I'm on every algorithm's sheet list, only compounding the reality that my content is banned to a degree no one else is. This post will probably also get banned, so feel free to screenshot it and share it yourself!

Just the name Dr #PimplePopper makes me want to 🤮, let alone have thumbnails SHOWING burst #pimples show up in my feed, yet repeatedly I've had #YouTube ban thumbnails of pre- #censored nonsexual female nipples, even when I've already blurred them out (to say nothing of the entire pre- censored videos they've banned over and over again). Yet of course, YouTube, along with #tiktok #Instagram #facebook etc-forever are chock full of entirely UNcensored MALE nipples with MILLIONS of views, that somehow DON'T get #banned as sexually explicit nudity" 🙃

I know I'm a broken record about this, but how does this make sense?? How tf do the majority of people, even alleged #progressive #leftists just unthinkingly go along with the #patriarchal #sexist #misogynistic view that "of course, female nipples are sexually explicit nudity, but male nipples aren't. OBVIOUSLY."? or at most, they go "yeah it's not fair, but what can we do?"

Maybe... Mention it in your own content? Spare comments in the replies of my own posts about this are certainly appreciated, and better than no words of support at all. But we will NEVER make progress towards #genderEquality as long as more people aren't pointing out blatant sexism (and #transphobia - at what point does a nipple look "female" or "male" enough to get banned/not banned?) in public places, loud and unapologetic. I know compared to many world issues, wanting the same rights as "male-looking chests" online and in public seems silly and self-serving. But it's all part of the subjugation of female-presenting people. It's still #techBro #thePatriarchy - designed #algorithms declaring "only we have the authority to decide women's bodies are sexually explicit unless they adhere to what we, the men, decide are permissible modes of living." It's #rapeCulture, its the objectification of women's bodies without our #consent, it's taking away our #bodilyAutonomy while granting male bodies (again, adhering to whatever arbitrary scale determines what a "male" or "female" body is) freedom. It's BS.

I'm currently outside in 90+ degree weather, #gardening #mowing and picking up dog poop on preparation for the kids' birthday party this weekend and I sure wish I could take my shirt off in this heat exactly like my husband and male children, but alas we live in a #sexist #misgynist society controlled by #thePatriarchy who have decreed that "female looking nipples are sexually explicit" while "male looking nipples" aren't, and I don't want our trumper neighbors reporting me for "child abuse" just for being topless in front of my kids 🙃

(edit: fixed typo)

so far I've been happy on @eldritch.cafe (even though I don't speak French, the people and mods on here have been decent, and the 5000 character limit on posts is much appreciated.) but as you'd expect from a smaller instance, I get very few or no results for many tags that are important to me, like #contentCreator #youtube #twitch #livestream #videoInterview #vlogger #videoEssayist #socialCommentary #thepatriarchy and many similar tags.

so it might be useful for me to try out another, more content creator-inclusive server sometime. but I'm not sure there's really a perfect fit out there.

for one thing, character count is important to me, and so many instances (I presume founded by Twitter users) leave theirs at the default 500, which I find stifling. even 1000 is frequently irritating, when I've gotten used to 5000. I also don't understand the appeal of tight character limits, since people just then write out long, rambling threads of posts, that can easily be taken out of context to warp their whole argument and leave them rife for misinterpretation (see: "quote tweeting")

beyond that, while my videos focus on so many #progressive causes I care about, like #feminism #lgbtq #queer #equalRights #genderdiscrimination #genderEquality #houselessness #mentalHealthcare #transRights #racialEquality and many other #leftwing #USpolitics, because I do my videos topless, there are basically no platforms I can host my content until I can somehow convince sponsors to pay me so I can set up my own hosting-- @tio is kind enough to let me post my uncensored videos to his #peertube server, but there's no real searchability within peertube (as evinced by how many people suggest I post my content to peertube, which I already have been for years...) and putting censored videos of my videos on mainstream platforms that tell people to visit my website to see my uncensored videos doesn't work well, both because of how often my content gets #banned even when it's fully censored (thanks, haters), and because many people are a little, well... 😏 I can only say "follow the link written on the video" (because I'll get banned for "linking to porn" if I put a clickable link in my video description or social media post) so many times.

back to switching instances, the main reason I picked Eldritch Cafe several years ago is because, being French, they don't have the same blatantly misogynistic puritanical views towards "female nipples" being unacceptable viewing outside of explicit sexual situations. they just want them placed under a content warning, as you'd expect on basically every server. but alas, like I said, there just aren't really any other content creators that I've found on here, especially not vloggers/social commentary/video essayists like me (idk what the distinction is, really). that's why it might make more sense for me to move instances, much as I've come to feel comfortable here.

but then the crux of the problem arises--I am, first and foremost, a #toplessequality activist. I want "the same rights for 'female looking nipples' that 'male looking nipples' get." while I was raised a nudist, and for a little while there I did a fair amount of content catering to nudists (talking about #nudism / #naturism , being fully naked instead of just topless, etc...) but I've really been finding the urge to distance myself from nudists lately, for reasons I go into detail here: https://www.toplesstopics.org/nomorenudism/ the tl;dr version is that just talking about nudism all the time is boring to me, and I resent how so many of the (straight cis male) nudists who would exchange my videos amongst themselves would skim right past my whole "fight for gender equality" and just use me as a (more culturally appealing than yet more straight white cis male) nudist figurehead. a lot of nudists are also very anti-sex worker, which goes against my morals- I fully believe that #sexWorkIsWork, and any #consensual #sexWork is fine by me.

what I resent is that, when it comes to mainstream platforms, only being allowed to post my uncensored female nipples on platforms that allow explicit sexual material. I am NOT a sex worker, I DO NOT do anything actually sexual in my videos-- I have interviews with #adultFilm actors, #camgirls, #kink educators, etc, but it's discussion only, we don't DO anything sexual, or go into graphic detail about sexual acts. but because of puritanical American society, the only places I can simply be topless-while-female is on places like Onlyfans, Mewe and Joystick.tv - - places already overflowing with porn.

I've been making #toplessEquality content for a full decade now and I will never understand why all these pornbots are so pathetic that they keep slithering all over and reuploading MY nipples in particular. why? why? why? it's not like it's hard to find boobs on the internet! WHY DO THEY ALL KEEP OBSESSING OVER -MINE-?
