The "Free The Nipple" Movement Isn't Benefitting Anyone But The Men That The Feminists Claim To Hate

Florence Pugh showed up to a fashion show in Rome last summer wearing a beautiful, sheer, pink Valentino dress. The neckline was halter with ruffles around her collarbone, and the skirt was full and flowing. The Barbiecore ensemble was completed with matching pink platform heels and even pink earrings and a large pink ring on her right hand. Florence wore her short blonde hair slicked back and tucked behind her ears. But there was one thing about her outfit that stood out above the rest: Her nipples were showing clearly through the sheer fabric. She was braless and making no attempt to cover up her bare breasts.
