Is Using Women’s Naked Bodies To Sell Stuff a Sign of Feminist Progress?

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. 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. On the one hand, as a breast owner myself, I fully agree with the message behind this campaign. It’s about time we combat the outdated stigma that our body parts have to look a particular way. On the other, though, huge brands and ad agencies have been ...

Sarah Silbiger/Bloomberg via Getty Images Popular culture tends to focus on a few elements of pregnancy: morning sickness, the growing baby bump, and, of course, mood swings. But that ignores more dangerous, less well-known conditions associated with pregnancy. Up to 10 percent of pregnant US women are diagnosed with gestational diabetes and uncontrolled high blood sugar; untreated, this can result in a difficult delivery, and risks developing into Type 2 diabetes years later. Meanwhile, 2 to 8 percent of women worldwide have symptoms of preeclampsia, a condition involving high blood pressure that can lead to fatal seizures if untreated, can damage the mother’s organs, and increases the risk of chronic disease later in life for the baby. But even a supposedly normal, healthy pregnancy with no complications can lead to a lot more than just morning nausea. And the ordeal isn’t ove...

Vince Speranza’s Epic Beer Run During the Siege of Bastogne

Vince Speranza’s Epic Beer Run During the Siege of Bastogne The Siege of Bastogne was one of the most crucial fights of World War II, and it came amid the largest battle the U.S. Army has ever fought – the Battle of the Bulge. The Germans caught the Americans by  surprise on Dec. 16, 1944, mustering more than 400,000 men, 550 tanks, and hundreds of other vehicles for one last offensive. The goal was to push the Allies back toward the sea and recapture the critical port of Antwerp.  The Siege of Bastogne: Defending Against the German Forces    German forces overwhelmed American defenses as they poured through the Ardennes Forest, forcing the retreat of tens of thousands of shocked American soldiers. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower knew his supply lines were already thin, a blizzard negated Allied air superiority and the Ardennes area was full of green and exhausted troops – some who had been fighting since D-Day. Eisenhower declared that holding the Belgian city of Bastogne...

Greece officially entered the Great War rather belatedly in June 1917, despite informal involvement since 1914.

Greece officially entered the Great War rather belatedly in June 1917, despite informal involvement since 1914.  On July 2nd, 1917, several weeks after King Constantine I abdicates his throne in Athens under pressure from the Allies, Greece declares war on the Central Powers, ending three years of neutrality by entering World War I alongside Britain, France, Russia and Italy. Constantine, educated in Germany and married to a sister of Kaiser Wilhelm II, was naturally sympathetic to the Germans when World War I broke out in the summer of 1914, refusing to honor Greece’s obligation to support Serbia, its ally during the two Balkan Wars in 1912 - 1913. Despite pressure from his own pro-Allied government, including Prime Minister Eleutherios Venizelos, and British and French promises of territorial gains in Turkey, Constantine maintained Greece’s neutrality for the first three years of the war, although he did allow British and French forces to disembark at Salonika in late 1914 in a p...
