Tit for Tat

Are celebs  going topless in videos for political reasons?  (and, do you care?) Is this documenary "Free the Nipple" SFW?  Hey, it's for women rights, right? ... for political reasons? Is going topless in a music video a cheap grab at publicity, a political expression, or both? Rose McGowan is the latest woman to go naked up top in a music video, joining the likes of singer Miley Cyrus (“Wrecking Ball”) and model Emily Ratajkowski (“Blurred Lines”) in stripping down to next-to-nothing. ... And like Cyrus and Ratajkowski, McGowan says her bare breasts are sending a political message. “I believe in civil disruption. I also think it’s important for bodies to be represented in a non-sexual manner, especially women’s bodies,” she told the online magazine Nowness. It’s not the first time McGowan has made headlines standing up for what she sees as blatant sexism. In June she was dumped by her agent for criticizing the revealing outfit she said she was asked to wear in an Adam Sandler film. McGowan said the sexual double standard had gotten so bad, she was giving up acting for music because the latter industry was so male-dominated. “Imagine, its predominantly men whose scripts get done so it was mostly a male voice coming out of my mouth for 15 years,” she said. Cyrus has also cited political reasons for her frequent nudity, specifically aligning herself with the “Free The Nipple” campaign, which boasts a full-length feature film, and calls itself a movement to empower women against “female oppression and censorship.” [Full Hoot] These women are deep, man.  I need to know who they endorse for president.  That's what I need.
