Is Using Women’s Naked Bodies To Sell Stuff a Sign of Feminist Progress? The not-so-fine line between clickbait and true empowerment Katie Jgln The Noösphere Katie Jgln Taking to Twitter, they posted a mosaic of 25 different pairs of bare female breasts, of all shapes, sizes and skin tones, as part of its move to normalise the human body in all its many variations. As you can probably imagine, the photo — a censored version of which was also posted on Instagram — has drummed up a massive reaction across social media. Many people called it empowering.

A 65-year-old Filipino immigrant was walking down a street near Times Square when a man, in broad daylight, suddenly kicked her in the stomach. She crumpled to the sidewalk. He kicked her once in the head. Then again. And again. He yelled an obscenity at her, according to a police official, and then said, “You don’t belong here.” As the violent scene unfolded in Manhattan, three men watched from the lobby of a nearby luxury apartment building. When the woman struggled to stand up, one of the men, a security guard, closed the front door to the building. Even as reports of anti-Asian hate crimes have escalated in recent weeks, the video released by police officials on Monday evening touched a fresh nerve. The sheer brazenne...
