Madonna reposted the photos taken from Instagram, but this time with a red heart in place of her bare nipple. “It still amazes me that we live in a culture where a female nipple is not allowed to be seen. As if this is the only part of the female body that can evoke sexual feelings. Can’t a man’s nipple be experienced as erotic?”, Madonna said under her photos.
Policy
Female nipples that appear on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram will be removed. There are exceptions where a female nipple can be posted online, according to the policies of Facebook and Instagram. When it comes to breastfeeding, childbirth, health-related situations or as a protest action, female nipples are allowed.
Reactions to Posting Nipple On Social Media:
On Twitter, Ingrid also wonders why a male nipple is allowed.
Dia thinks that Facebook is showing more and more narrow-mindedness.
Judith wonders why sharing videos of animal cruelty is allowed and a female nipple is not.
