On #InternationalWomensDay we celebrate the crucial role women play in our life, society and economy. Supporting equal opportunities and female empowerment is not only fair, it is also key to sustainable and prosperous development for all! 💪🌐 #GenderEquality.
🌍 La crisis climática afecta de forma desproporcionada a las mujeres en todo el mundo. Desde la agricultura hasta las catástrofes climáticas, las mujeres se llevan la peor parte de la degradación medioambiental. Es hora de reconocer esta injusticia y amplificar sus voces. (1/8)
🌎La equidad de género y la justicia climática son luchas interconectadas. Empoderar a las mujeres y atender sus necesidades no es sólo cuestión de derechos, sino es esencial para crear resiliencia y lograr sostenibilidad medioambiental.
#newResearch on Daddy-Daughter Dances, and their role in heteronormativity and stigmatization. Explicitly gendered events such as these informally exclude people without heteronormative family structures. Thanks to Ezra Temko, Emily Love, Destiny Baxter, Adam Loesch & Heidi Masching for a great article.
@1sabelR wants to spotlight two of her fav things in the lead up to International Women’s Day! Her fav ep of #Sci_Burst is 3: The Limit Does Not Exist as she likes discussing #TeenMedia that is so often discarded when it’s a formative part of how we transition into adulthood! She also wants to share a recent read of hers by a #FemaleAuthor. “The Authority Gap” is a great book that ends with practical lists that everyone can action to help improve #GenderEquality. #IWD24#CountHerIn#WomenInStem
@toplesstopics last time I'll bug you tonight : can you suggest a better mastodon server to move to? I came to .social in the birdsite mass exodus not knowing any better
@Sir_Lord_B honestly there are so many servers, and they all have their own eccentricities so it depends what you're looking for and how many larger servers you're okay with being defederated from. I would suggest making a public post where you say you're looking for a smaller instance to join and add hashtags for some of the stuff you're interested in, like #feminism#genderEquality etc.
New video coming out this Friday-- #ToplessTopics interviews the December #Portland cast from the "Dungeons and #DragQueens Live show"! As usual, you'll be able to watch the #patriarchy-approved "female-looking nipple"-less version at https://www.youtube.com/@toplesstopics or the patriarchy-UNAPPROVED version on my website https://www.toptopicstv.org/dndQLive :D You can visit that page now to find links to all the people in the interview as well as other resources, and enjoy watching the video this Friday at 11am PST !
"Whatever role, whatever organisation you are working in there should be gender equality," says @NathalieMoll, executive director of @EFPIA. We asked our #WomenInSTEM what funding orgs can do to promote #GenderEquality in #HealthResearch. Read more: https://europa.eu/!ByJqT6
Polite reminder that, if you happen to be on an instance that isn't defederated from mastodon.social or mastodon.art, I also have profiles on there and would greatly appreciate follows, boosts, etc to help me galvanize more people to the #toplessEquality / #freeTheNipple cause:

Don Dokken’s Apparently Bummed You Can’t Openly Objectify Women These Days
Apparently what you wear should allow unwanted comments. The post Don Dokken’s Apparently Bummed You Can&#
It's not that I'm only interested in interviewing #kinkEducator s, #sexWorker s, nude #photographer s, nudist/naturists, etc, it's that "mainstream" creators don't seem to be keen on being associated with "adult-only" content that focuses on #activism for the crazy radical notion that #gender based #censorship is BS and either ALL nipples should be banned from mainstream social media and public, or NO nipples 😑
comments like this always make me sus. So many dudes (and women with #internalizedMisogyny ) really do think they have a "gotcha" when I say "maybe #gender (as perceived by algorithms and puritanical legislators) shouldn't be the determining factor in how much #censorship is applied to someone's upper body?" and they reply "so you support people having sex in public?!" Like...what? Are you trolling or is your brain literally so warped by puritanical misogyny that you equate female nipples with actual sex?!
A variation on the #webcomic page I've drawn before, focused especially on #twitch for recently finally allowing "nonsexual nude art" only to reverse the decision 24 hours later "because their AI #censorship bots can't tell the difference between photography and realistic paintings". (and somehow the exact same pose and composition stops being porn the second it's slightly less than photorealistic, even if it's just painted by a really, really good artist). And as we all know, Twitch rules being designed by #patriarchy - worshipping tech bros like all mainstream #socialMedia are, "nudity" includes "female looking nipples" but not "male looking nipples" 🙃
Still waiting for the day that enough people call out this insanely blatant #sexism and #misogyny enough to force these platforms to think they'll make more money off #toplessEquality than their current #doubleStandards (see how they've been shilling under the guise of supporting #lgbt / #lgbtq / #queer equality for the last decade, especially during Pride month... Except in red states, of course). It's so blatantly sexist, yet so few people even notice it? How do I wake more people up??

Preview image of the upcoming video I'm almost done editing- Topless Topics Interviews TammyJo Eckhart: ancient historian, kink educator, and erotic/"edgy" fiction author. I'll announce when the full video goes up--early uncensored access for Patreon donors, patriarchy-friendly mainstream version on Youtube whenever I have time to finish censoring out my heinous female nipples!

Even after ten years of making videos like this, it's still so crazy to me to stop every now and then and look at the video and marvel at how something like this gets banned on every single platform that isn't explicitly a porn site as "sexually explicit nudity," just for having nipples on a "person who looks female" visible. It doesn't matter how incredibly boring or mundane the topic is, or the fact that I'm just SITTING THERE, doing nothing at all with my body but talking--but because I "look female," my upper torso is always and automatically thrown into the same category as hardcore porn. Meanwhile anyone who "looks male" can LITERALLY BE DOING A STRIP TEASE, or "comedically" playing with his nipples, and HE is left up, patriarchy-safe, unbanned.
How does this not infuriate more people?? Almost every time I bring the subject up of gender-specific #censorship to anyone my age or younger (and occasionally those before my generation), they agree that banning nipples only on those who "look female" is #sexist#misogynist and absurd, and yet year after year, the status quo just...doesn't change. All these platforms performatively claim to support #LGBTQ / #queer equality (especially in June) yet this blatantly unfair demonstration of oppression against those who "look female"--I phrase it that way because it doesn't matter what you identify as, what you were assigned at birth, none of that--only whether algorithms and legislators think you "look male" or "look female"--stays in place, unchallenged and unabated.
Sorry, same old rant..back to video editing. Maybe someday we'll crack the code to forcing these companies to pretend to support #genderEquality re:censorship 🙃
A man can have bigger breasts than I do but he'll still be allowed to go topless anywhere online or outside while I cannot, as long as he "looks male" while I "look female."
Explain how this is fair to me with a reason that isn't just "because misogyny."
It doesn't matter what's going on under the waist, or what you identify as, or what you were assigned at birth--it 100% depends ENTIRELY on whether you "look male" or "look female," full stop. I really don't know why the majority of Americans (and westerners in general) just unthinkingly accept this blatant example of #sexism and #misogyny that have plagued the US since the 1930s, and every year only seems to get MORE restrictive against "people who look female," not less. To say nothing about how violence and bloodshed are fine on all these platforms, as long as it's "simulated". But show a single stationary female nip and oh god, get out the ban hammer!
