P!nk recently released her music video for “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken,” and while many fans celebrated it, a surprising backlash surfaced. Amidst critiques regarding the video’s visual style, a more disturbing trend emerged: complaints about her nipples being visible through her shirt. This reaction is all too familiar and frankly, tiresome.
It seems some viewers, particularly on social media, took issue with P!nk’s decision not to wear a bra. One commenter even suggested she should report herself to a fictional superhero lab for her “superpowers” in perceiving her nipples. It’s bizarre how a simple anatomical feature can provoke such outrage.
Another critic lamented that her appearance had “ruined” the viewing experience, despite the fact that they had the option to simply not watch the video. It’s worth noting that P!nk is younger than many of her detractors, yet they felt entitled to comment on her body in derogatory terms.
Ironically, this uproar often comes from women, perpetuating a cycle of internalized misogyny that sees women policing each other’s bodies. On parenting forums, some mothers took the opportunity to criticize P!nk’s choices, seemingly forgetting that empowerment doesn’t require conforming to outdated standards of modesty.
Despite the negative comments, there is a significant amount of support for P!nk and her message. The reality is that nipples are a natural part of human anatomy, not just for women but for men as well. Yet, society has chosen to sexualize female breasts while men remain largely unscathed in this regard. As Lauren Duca pointed out for Teen Vogue, “The thing about nipples is literally everyone has them, but we choose to sexualize only women’s nipples.” This stigma is harmful not only to women but also to the societal landscape at large.
So let’s address this bravely: Stop trying to dictate what women should or shouldn’t wear based on your own beliefs about modesty. It’s time to normalize the visibility of female nipples, just as we do with male nipples. Remember, this stigma affects everyone, including the next generation.
