Suggestion and Inquiry

Thought you did a wonderful job with the article. One suggestion I might add is having more sources, as I found 4 references to be quite small, and I'm sure you could find sources to add extra legitimacy to those you've already supplied one source for.

I'm also curious if you looked at the group Femen, as they are a group of radical female protesters who protest topless. Could be an interesting look at how group use the nipple to gain public attention, or even of how groups try to desexualize or even radicalize the nipple.

Suggestion of more photos

Really interesting page! You really succinctly put a lot of information and background into a small amount amount of words. My only suggestion would be maybe the addition of more photos- since this issue is a very visual one, I think there are a lot of very powerful images that could be added to support your points. Obviously some will not be appropriate for the page, but given that this debate has been so large on social media, in the form of photos, I think you would be able to find a lot of interesting photos to add.

Response & Suggested Idea for Potential Improvement

I thought this article was extremely well done! You managed to acknowledge the 4 primary topics related to this course: gender, race, sexuality, and justice -- meaning that you definitely succeeded in creating a well-rounded final project.

While the timeline from GoTopless was quite informative, and you summarized it nicely, perhaps the use of additional resources would be beneficial, by more comprehensively detailing the historical context surrounding the debate. Additionally, I'd be interested in seeing some further descriptions of how this debate varies from culture to culture.

In your post you mentioned that different body parts, such as ankles, were considered to be more risqué in the 15th century, which demonstrates the moral relativity involved in this debate. Are there any other parts of the human body that are censored in a similar manner today? Are there other organizations with similar intentions to the Free the Nipple campaign? If so: what other body parts are censored today? And is the Free the Nipple campaign more successful than other campaigns spreading similar messages?
