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. Some even implied it’s a sign of feminist progress. But many also felt it was just another shock ad using female nudity to sell products. I have to say; I felt torn the first time I saw it.
