1. Women's breasts ARE NOT sex organs. The sole purpose is to feed babies.

2. Women's bodies are being sexualized AND THEN being censored by Facebook and Instagram's "community standards."

Women's Instagram and Facebook accounts are being temporarily disabled and/or permanently deleted because they don't meet the community standards. These women are artists and businesswomen (photographers, painters, videographers, performers, etc.) and their social media accounts are their connection to their audience; the audience that they grew and developed through their hard work.

Meanwhile, male artists and businessmen are allowed to post shirtless pictures of themselves all day long. Why? Because when men take their shirts off they are free, powerful, strong. When women take their shirts off the only thing they are allowed to be is pornographic. And who made that rule up? Instagram and Facebook.

I've been doing topless actions all over the country and always the place where I take the photograph, the site where I document political action, is legal for me to be topless. But I, like millions of other women, cannot share my work with my audience, because Facebook and Instagram call my work pornographic. THEY say it's sexual, not me.

And see, that is exactly how it works. That's how the constant sexualization of women's bodies work. THEY say a woman's body is sexual and if/when women don't agree well then too bad she's banned, deleted, removed from the community. Women are NOT ALLOWED to be not sexual. Women are not allowed to say no.

The message that Facebook and Instagram are sending is that men want to touch women's breasts and, I guess, rub their penises on women's breasts and so thus, women better hide. Or else, BAD GIRL.

Men also want to put their penis in women's mouths so are we supposed to hide that too?

Ultimately, what it boils down to is that women feeding their babies, women using their breasts to do the very thing breasts are supposed to do, can't even post their pictures on Instagram and Facebook because Instagram and Facebook deem a woman feeding her baby to be "sexual." Does that mean that Instagram and Facebook are sexualizing the body of a woman feeding her baby and ultimately giving permission to the rest of the world to do the same? The answer is yes. Yes, it is okay for men to look at a woman feeding her baby and imagine rubbing his penis all over her body. Sincerely, Instagram and Facebook.

Even little girls who don't even have breasts are expected to hide, because why? Because Instagram and Facebook want to put their penis on a little girl? Sounds shocking, but if you look at the rate of child sex trafficking on this planet and listen to the hundreds of thousands of #metoo stories going around... the answer is yes. Sincerely, disgusting ideology reinforced by Instagram and Facebook.

These social media sites are reinforcing the standards that say women are NOT ALLOWED to say whether or not they are being sexual. Only men can say that AND they can force women and girls to hide so that, I guess, men can be saved from their perversion.

3. I have been screaming "no" to the CONSTANT sexualization of women's bodies and I'm going to keep screaming, keep putting myself out there, and through the Women's March in NYC, I want other women to have an opportunity to say NO, too.

At the Woman's March in NYC, I see hundreds of posters of topless women saying NO. Pictures of topless women holding babies, women feeding babies, little girls. and also men standing topless in a photograph in solidarity. Hundreds of posters of men, women, and children saying NO. Woman's body is NOT a sexual plaything unless she says it is.

I am a director, writer, producer. All my work is about seeing and presenting women in new ways. I believe that this issue is at the very heart of woman's rights.. the right of a woman to determine if she is being sexual or not and the right for women to say NO.
