| | So during that first scene or two, I reckon they used discrete pasties or something along those lines. During the rest of film, they went topless. The performers were literally running with the cops on their heels. How sad that in a city as progressive as NYC, where girls are officially allowed to be topless, they were always coping with the fact that they could get arrested!
As a topfree activist, I do have problems with the movie and how topless equality was represented. https://s3.amazonaws.com/2024naturist/beach-porn.html found the message of women's equality was somewhat muddled and merely skimmed the surface. While there's a brief segment during Liv's interview where she touches on the feminist issues associated with breasts and female bodies, the remaining part of the movie is basically about the problem of censorship and their difficulties in funding / found a grassroots movement.
The censorship theme tries to drive home the point that America censors innocuous nudity and glorifies violence. This point is further made clear in the beginning of the film when Spencer Tunick is featured talking about how the New York Times had a problem using among his photos because one female breast was observable. To make the point about violence, With is shown watching a TV news report about the Colorado movie theater massacre.
So what is this movement and film primarily about? Stopping censorship? Or helping women recover control of these bodies through topless equality?
In the picture, the girls talk about Femen but make no mention of the women who came before them. They never bring up the fact the Rochester 7 won their landmark case called Folks v Santorelli in 1992 thus making topfreedom a right for ALL girls in NYS. Nor do they recognize any of those that got arrested, filed suits and place their standing and wellbeing on the line for women's equality.

During the Q&A session after the screening, Esco seemed to be distancing herself from her own cause. She insisted that Free the Nipple was meant to start a dialogue about all issues associated with gender equality. When asked by Scout Willis (who was in the crowd) what the following step was and what she felt now that the movie was out, Esco appeared uncomfortable and briefly mentioned equivalent pay that's it. Esco made no mention or profound discussion about topfree rights, women's rights, approval or anything else (other than equivalent pay).
She looked disconnected or tired of answering the question, Why nipples, why toplessness? It felt like she was saying what she thought was a better way to justify her own film. I feel that women taking back their bodies through topfreedom is worthy of discussion and attention all on its own but regrettably, I do not believe that Esco concurs (at least that was my impression).

Naturism and The Textile Industry:
One of the first things that international mercantile forces did to establish textile markets one of the native peoples of the regions and islands of the Arctic, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, Australia, and Oceania Polynesian/Melanesian societies) and was to promote and apply body pity upon subject inhabitants, requiring the purchase of textile clothes.
It was done through religious institutions (doctrines, crusades, jihad, and missionaries), along with military force. https://s3.amazonaws.com/2024naturist/nudism-porn.html of the targets of cloth enforcement were to establish, increase, and solidify hierarchical and societal sections among area populations according to gender, age, wealth, ethnicity, appearance, standing, and many other criteria (i.e. who wears the trousers, skirts, uniforms, boots, bras, and badges) among subject people to keep them more alienated from one another, less cooperative with each other, and more readily controlled.
