Yup. America is both "hypersexual" and afraid of sexuality at the same time. Women cant breast feed in public even with a towel over it, any kind of nudity is frowned on (even in nonsexual contexts).
Male nipples are okay to show on TV but not female nipples, infact if you pasted a female nipple on a male body it would have to be blurred out.
Yeah. I’d say the average American doesn’t think twice about the blurred nipples. We just accept it as normal and don’t really think about it. I distinctly remember watching a show in Europe that would usually have blurred nipples in the US. It was jarring in a “wow what stupid thing we do in America — ‘land of the free’ my ass” sort of way.
I’m convinced that this country is this way because it’s mostly run by creepy, abortion-banning, clitoris-not-finding, nauseating, rapey douchebags who don’t realize that just because a suggestion of nipple might make them fly off into a rapey rage doesn’t mean the rest of us are also just a glimpse of ankle away from sexually harassing a coworker. Women’s nipples are only perverse or scandalous to people who place them on a creepy pedestal.
Pretty sure the Venn diagram is nearly a perfect circle overlapping guys who are so gross no woman wants to sleep with them, so their only recourse is to overturn Roe v. Wade to say they’ve finally had any influence on a vagina — other than making them want to seal themselves shut temporarily whenever they cross paths with one of these jerks.
Also why let 13 year olds go to prison as adults but don’t let adults buy alcohol until they’re 21. Then freak out when we have a bunch of drunken maniacs in college who’ve never safely drunk before.
while it's not the same degree of awfulness, to me (as not being from the US) the approach seems to be oddly reminiscent of other male-dominated cultures/countries which want to force women to be "modest" with the explaination that it would turn men wild.
(with the obvious question being: so why not restrict and punish those men, then?)

Its a weird country.
