Boss, she isn't asking people to flaunt nipples. She is saying that people should stop pointing towards such things to bring a successful woman down.

I didn't know there was a controversy over Serena's body parts, mainly because I've ZERO interest in sports, lol, but she does have a valid point. Most people body-shame without provocation/helpful criticism. And that culture really is taking over our world. It's disgusting to see very young girls starve themselves & develop eating disorders to fit into a fashion & media created beauty perception. The jokes on Irani are absolutely disgusting too, I felt like smacking people when they forward such shit on e-mail.. But while I agree with her, I've to say I am beginning to feel that she might just suddenly have become a raging crusader of women's rights.. But I do think here she is talking about the casual, slight misogyny & sexism that is all-pervasive & clearly, blatantly points to far bigger problems & since that is my perception of her column, in that regard, she is a 100000% CORRECT.

I haven't seen the match she is talking about but it does sound like a highly subjective issue. Yes nipple are normal and both men and women old and young have it all. But the significance has always been on females. I have not created this practice but it is what it is. Could Serena would have worn a better fabric that didn't had to make it so obvious since it was not a fashion show but a sport and could he seen by both minors and adults is again debatable. But nipples are nipple and this isn't just a Indian society issue but a global taboo. If she herself doesn't feel them to be a big deal then why didn't she went shirtless like her husband does for movies?

The gist of my post is I feel like she is just grasping at straws. This isn't a misogynist or sexist issue at all.


When you play sports - comfort and breathable fabrics are important. If it means your nipple outline can be seen in the fabric, so be it. A lot of people fixated on Serena's nipples rather than her game. That was unfair. This was not about shirtlessness, but about people's obsession with making a big deal of female nipples.

So this is all about entitlement. Where I should embrace you or else I'm the bad one. So what if you decide to show your nipples in a wedding or at a funeral or even at a sports match. I should look elsewhere and not fuss about it. How many women play tennis? A lot. How often do they show nipples? The onus is on Selena to be mindful of what she is wearing and people will rightly call her out for displaying her bits they don't need to see. You can't just wear whatever and expect people to be ok about it. If she has a right to wear what she likes people should also have a right to their opinion. It doesn't make them a misogynist for pointing her inappropriate attire. Do you wear whatever you want to wear and show up at office even if it displays your bits? Why not? Because it is a work space with a dress code. No different than her tennis court. Telling her it's ok to flaunt your nipples isn't women empowerment.

akshay ka reaction kya thha??😆
So, last night, when the man of the house called out, Come to the table for dinner!' Hunching over my computer screen, I absentmindedly said, Not yet, I am trying to find a picture of Leander Paes' nipples!' This reply, of course was met with stony silence..

But I'm sure 99.99% women practice breast covering so it doesn't make them an accessory to this flawed and misogynist practice. Hey I'm all for women empowerment. If she said girls should be happy with their bodies. Small breast big breasts it's all ok and be comfortable in your skin that will be empowerment. But telling them it is ok to show your nipples and people should stop making it as taboo is not empowerment. Guys also have balls does it mean they should walk around on full display and people shouldn't feel offended since it's a part of a man's body?

You have got it wrong here, she isnt telling people to flaunt wat they have got.All she means is that the lady was playing a sport and there was no need at all to make an issue out of it. With the Mr Peas analogy she tried to put across an argument that it happens irrespective of the gender!!

I agree. That's why there are redundencies like wearing a padded bra, or taping herself up, or wearing a thicker shirt. A lot of women play tennis. They do not show their nipples because exactly it is all about the game. People shouldnt need to be called misogynist because she made a faux pass or just didn't care about it. She is on tv and people will have their opinions where they also feel she should stick to playing tennis, not showing her nipples that need not to be seen. It's not a strip club they haven't paid their ticket to see her nipples. Again this is flawed empowerment.

I belong to the old school of thoughts😆 and I am kind of rigid so there is very little chance of evolving.. For me, it is important for a woman, or even a man to cover themselves properly.. Aap dikhaoge tou log dekhenge and comment be kareinge.. Simple as that😆

Please do not jump at me.. Personal opinion😆
