Member of Iceland's Parliament Posts Picture of Breast Online to "Fight Patriarchy"
Pundit Press ^ | 4/1/15 | Aurelius

Björt Ólafsdóttir, a member of Iceland’s parliament, has posted a picture of her left breast online in order to “fight sexism” and “the patriarchy.”

In an editorial written by Ólafsdóttir, she explained that she did so because she is tired of the hypocrisy of “Facebook and Instagram, whose guidelines specifically target the female form.”

She explains that Facebook and Instagram allow men to show their nipples, and women should be able to do the same. The campaign she is championing is called “#FreeTheNipple.”

Ólafsdóttir was inspired to act by 17-year-old Adda Smaradottir, who took a topless photo of herself and posted it online. Ólafsdóttir took a picture of herself lifting her shirt, revealing her left breast. She then posted it to twitter with the caption, “This is to feed children. Shove it up your patriarchy. #FreeTheNipple.”

Now if Michelle, Hillary, and Rosie O’Donnell did this, opthomologists would be busy for the next decade or two.

Well, it would frame a codpiece nicely, wouldn’t it.

Nonsense. It’s not men who oppose pornography in general, nor public exposure of female breasts in particular.

But that isn’t all those looneytune Feminazis do.
Did you read her rant ?
She’s one of those morons, who is going to feed her twins, anywhere, at any time she wants to. And FYI.....breast feeding may be “natural”, but then, so is evacuating one’s bowels and emptying one’s bladder. Do we want to see those activities done in public too...anywhere at any time ?

No people would need canes and guide dogs after gouging their eyes out.

She is an Member of Parliament and is complaining about the patriarchy?

I will never change my mind. Giving the franchise to Women, particularly single women, was the downfall of Western Civilization.

More insanity from the insane feminists.

TMI!
It occurred to me recently that the way the genders are being blurred, the day is coming soon when only the animals, which rely on the sense of smell, will know for sure which is which.

How does demeaning women and themselves help fight patriarchy?

Flashing a boob is now spun as fighting sexism.

It is getting real amusing watching what liberals believe is “smart”. They are so damn duped they think they’re cutting edge, and that the’re calling the shots.

She’d be the same gal who’d react in disgust at girls filmed flashing their boobs in NOLA for beads, having a good time.
