On Friday a flock of giant breasts are floating down Amsterdam's canals for International Women's Day. This action is "to celebrate the fact that boobs are just boobs", organizer 72andSunny Amsterdam said in a press release. "Like the noses on our faces, they're simply part of the body, part of what makes us women."
72andSunny came up with the idea of giant floating breasts after a survey the agency performed among 160 women showed that the vast majority - 78 percent - of them had felt embarrassed by their boobs at some time in their lives. The creative agency finds it strange that simply having a pair of breasts seems to be disruptive. A team of women from 72andSunny Amsterdam therefore created a "delightful diversity of boobs" to float on the Dutch capital's canals, to ask that women's body parts be kept free from shame and stigma, harassment, censorship and objectification.
"We think it's pretty strange that as a society we are so stressed out about boobs. Our team's aim is to highlight the scrutiny and unnecessary sexualization that boobs still have to go through", Laura Visco, Deputy Executive Creative Director at 72andSunny Amsterdam, said. "We want to open up the dialogue about everyone having an opinion about this supposedly 'controversial' body part. You still can't post any pictures showing nipples on Facebook or Instagram for example if not showing breastfeeding or, say, mastectomy scars."
"Cultural policing of women's bodies starts early and only gets worse with age. Too big, too small, too old, too young - boobs are judged, inspected, grabbed and censored. At 72andSunny Amsterdam, we believe all breasts are wonderfully equal. No judgment here. They're just boobs", Visco said.
A wide variety of breasts - small to big, veiny to hairy, fake to pierced, in an array of shapes and skin tones - are floating down the Amsterdam canals on Friday. "To us they are all equal, and we feel the world should just let them be", the creative agency said. "Why should boobs have to follow some unwritten social and cultural rules? Let's set them free, and support their fundamental rights as funbags this International Women's Day with the hashtag #JustBoobs."
As a sentient male, one always loves boobs.
But folks, Europe is really sick.
And we’re not far behind.
Of course, this will last until the resident religion of hate takes care of things.
Isn’t this objectifying women?
What a coincidence. When I heard it was national women’s day boobs are the first thing I thought of.
Looks like that water must be kinda chilly.
From the title I thought it was overweight Danish politicians
The muslims will put an end to this very soon.
Hold on there gang. AAs get black history MONTH and wymun only get a DAY? What time does “Old White Guy Second” occur?
Raquel Welch says “Those aren’t buoys!”
Please...I just had visions of giant azzcheeks floating down the Chicago river canal.
Why is there a harpoon is the side of one of them?
Most boobs are good boobs.
No boobs are just boobs.
I’ve seen giant boobs floating off the coast near Hyannis MA.
In 5 to 10 years it will be.
Ouch! The boobs have piercings
Well I guess this topic is impotent.
Its strange and hypocritical how leftists and secularists seem to only define women by their breasts and vaginas.
Womyn of certain types/agendas/mental illness like liberalism will scream bloody H-E-double-hockey-sticks about being “objectified” and then they float boobs in canals and dress up like vaginas. Who is doing the objectifying? They themselves are & they’re too crazed by ‘whatever’ to see it. Stunts like this & the ‘Womyn’s March’ unfortunately besmirch women in general with labels of looking stupid, unhinged and hypocritical - many women (like myself) think they are laughable & socially/culturally dangerous. Don’t even get me started on the pro-abortion issue.
Womyn = nonstandard spelling of “women” adopted by some feminists in order to avoid the word ending -men.
Happy Women’s Day to all those beautiful women out there.
