The weather was perfect – in the high 80’s – and the new pop- up swimming pool took the edge off whenever someone felt the need for a cool dip. Rolf announced he and Cynthia are about to start construction on a permanent pool in the yard, which will make this an even more desirable destination in a few months.

Most everyone brought a potluck item to share, from seasonal fruit and salads to baked chicken, tacos and taquitos. Several people brought elaborate pastries, cookies, and cakes, which were much appreciated by all. The official reason why we were gathered was for the Members Meeting, a legal obligation mandated by the State of California because SCNA is a non-profit corporation. Each year the officers must report to the members a summary of its activities and financial decisions made during the previous year. Rolf, Tim, Gary, and a few others spent the next hours speaking to the members and fulfilling this obligation.

Ordinance prohibiting public exposure of “the female breast with less than a fully opaque covering of any part of the nipple.” Laconia, N.H., Code of Ordinances ch. 180, art. I, §§180-2(3), 180-4. The Supreme Court of New Hampshire affirmed their convictions in a published opinion rejecting state and federal Equal Protection Clause defenses. Contrary to federal appellate decisions, New Hampshire’s high court held an ordinance punishing only females for exposure of their areolas does not classify on the basis of gender. Alternatively, New Hampshire’s high court held the Ordinance would survive intermediate scrutiny anyway—a holding directly at odds with a recent Tenth Circuit decision, which in turn conflicts with decisions of the Seventh and Eighth Circuits. The questions presented are: 1. Does an ordinance expressly punishing only women, but not men, for identical conduct—being topless in public—classify on the basis of gender? 2.

Printing: Háskólaprent Reykjavík, 2016 4 Preface This thesis is the equivalent of 40 ECTS and is the culmination of my MA studies in the International Studies in Education program at the University of Iceland. My supervisor was Þórdís Þórðardóttir, Ph.D. and Brynja Elísabeth Halldórsdóttir, Ph.D. was the specialist. The aim of this research was to listen to and learn about the tastes and attitudes of adolescents in order to better understand their perspectives and culture. My previous experience as a middle school teacher showed me how powerful young people in this age group are, yet institutionally their voices are often marginalized. My studies have included themes of sustainability, a capabilities approach to human rights, intersectionality, identity politics, and anthropology and folklore in the digital age. During this time, global events including the worldwide refugee crisis, the rise of nationalistic political parties in Europe, the campus safe space debate, the black lives matter movement, free the nipple, and many more have also come into focus.

FREE THE NIPPLE–FORT COLLINS AND THE ENDURING FIGHT FOR GENDER EQUALITY Abstract: On February 15, 2019, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit in Free the Nipple–Fort Collins v. City of Fort Collins held that a public nudity ordinance that banned the exposure of female breasts violated the Equal Protection Clause. In doing so, the court split from the Fourth, Seventh, and Eighth Circuits and established that ordinances that restrict women, but not men, from being topless in public are unconstitutional. This Comment argues that the Tenth Circuit was correct in holding that the prohibition on public exposure of female breasts violated the Equal Protection Clause, as the ban did not sub- stantially serve any important governmental interest.

  • Motivations Behind Millennial Women Consuming Feminist Fashion
    Module code: LUBS3305 Dressed to Disrupt: Motivations Behind Millennial Women Consuming Feminist Fashion This dissertation is submitted in accordance with the Leeds University Business School’s regulations. I confirm that this is all my own work, and, where quotes or citations have been made, they are appropriately referenced. Word count: 7449 1 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to demystify the underlying motivations of the millennial women purchasing feminist fashion, by identifying frequently occuring value chains. Following a means-end approach and using in-depth laddered interviews of millennials who have actually purchased feminist fashion commodities, this research found seven underlying values that drive their choice to consume feminist fashion commodities. The ubiquitous ‘Girl Power’ narrative in fashion stores and online is unmissable. A Fourth wave of feminism has descended onto the marketplace, fuelled by millennials who are using their remarkable online connectivity and consumption habits to take a stand for social justice. Brands are acknowledging the power of associating themselves with empowering female narratives, as a means to expand markets and remain relevant to young consumers. The results offer qualitative insight into how management should market fashion commodities with feminist signifiers, pointing towards a variety of target segments: Educators, Rebels, Self-Expressors, Community Builders, Self-Esteem Seekers and Helpers. Each segment is driven by a correlating underlying value including the desire to educate others about feminism, rebellion in the face of society’s sexism, feeling a sense of belonging to a community, self-esteem and supporting others. This study has identified that female millennial consumers purchasing feminist commodities are not solely driven by the desire to present a positive image and/or the desire to remain consistent with internal values, as presented by literature into prosocial behaviour (Kristofferson et al., 2016).

  • Utopian Visions Nudity on Parade
    H-Celebration Utopian visions: Nudity on parade Blog Post published by Tiff Graham on Friday, September 1, 2017 After attending the Topless Day Parade in Venice Beach, California August 26, 2017, I considered multiple ways I could approach this topic of nudity in parades and marches. Here are eight possible approaches to talking about nudity in this event and other parades and marches with nudity: 1. society and cultural attitudes towards nudity - how it differs depending on social context and various countries’ public nudity acceptance, rules, and taboos 2. science fiction, religious movements and nudity - the Raëlian Movement beliefs and why they sponsor the Topless Day Parades 3. audience/bystanders and their reactions/participation - in particular the Venice Beach Topless Day parade because it doesn’t have formal boundaries/barriers between participant and audience; and it occurs in a tourist area that has always encouraged creative expression and women in bikinis and even males in thongs 4. male and female participants vs. those who only watch - issues related to the gaze, corporeality and objectification, body as political vehicle, subversive bodily practices, dissolved boundaries/collective intimacy, utopian ideas 5. aspects of the performance - music, speeches, signs, messages, dancing, chanting, costumes, decorations, props, participants, setting/surroundings 6. comparison of Venice Beach, California Topless Day parade to NYC, Denver, and other examples of the U.S. parades shared online, as well as those international examples 7. motivations of participants who parade in the nude or partially nude 8. nudity in parades and marches around the world - many examples such as Topless Day protest parades/marches, Burning Man Critical Tits bicycle parade, Burning Man Critical Dicks bicycle parade, Brazilian Carnival parades, LGBT Pride parades, World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) parading, and other mass movements of naked bodies parading/marching toplessday-back-message-sign-1.jpg Citation: Tiff Graham.

  • Sexy Vs. Breastfeeding: a Counterpublic Analysis
    Colloquy Vol. 12, Fall 2016, pp. 115-134 Sexy vs. Breastfeeding: A Counterpublic Analysis Wesley Hernandez Abstract In his eye-opening social experiments, Joey Salads highlights a double standard of breast exposure imposed by dominant Western authority. Through these experiments, a breastfeeding woman is placed in various public spaces, causing onlookers to elicit feelings of disgust. In my research, I examined Salads’ social experiments through a counterpublic analysis. Counterpublics provide a space necessary to formulate discourses that represent the identities, interests, and needs of the marginalized. Typically, male leaders and male law enforcers dominate public spaces. Therefore, a woman’s presence/voice is often unwarranted. Society has deemed it permissible for physically attractive women to show a certain degree of cleavage, but it is not socially acceptable for breastfeeding mothers to expose their breasts when feeding a child in public. Through this continuing pattern, breastfeeding mothers are excluded to the margins of society because breastfeeding is still not normalized in Western culture within the wider public sphere. Breastfeeding is a physical connection that is entirely natural because it demonstrates a bonding experience between a mother and a child. A variety of mothers from different cultures and nationalities are likely to suggest that breastfeeding demonstrates a sign of love and affection as well as nourishment for their children. Breastfeeding is essential to ensure a healthy lifestyle for a child. An interpersonal relationship is said to rise from providing the breast to a child because it embodies familiarity and trust between mother and child. Ages one through four are essentially the prime years for a child to understand the concepts of comfort and security, and breastfeeding includes both of those ideas.

References Appendix – Elaborated Background 1 Introduction 1.0 Through the last decades, what is broadly known as ‘the digital revolution’ has changed our earlier analog society. A few examples are the digitalization of music, movies and photos and the replacement of printed roadmaps, with GPSs. The use of cash appears to be dying out and payments are done with plastic cards or mobile phones. Newspaper businesses are in crises, due to the competition from online news sites and so on. ‘The digital revolution’ has marked the beginning of the Information Age and along with the internet, came the possibility to get instant information on multiple subjects. Search Engines as Google has realized the fictional Woodchuck’s Book, from the Donald Duck comic book stories, which Huey, Dewey and Louie frequently consulted when in trouble, and which appeared to have information and advice on every thinkable subject. Today computers and smartphones are common property and millions use the Internet every day. With Web 2.0, Social Networking Sites (SNS) as facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc., has infiltrated the daily life of internet users, as a platform for computer-mediated communication. SNS are currently the world’s fastest developing personal networking tool and most of Internet users have a profile on at least one kind of Social Media (Lin & Lu, 2011). At June 27th this year, facebook announced that the number of monthly active facebook users reached 2 billion (newsroom.fb.com); to comparison, that is more than the entire world population was 100 years ago, when the Age of Industrialization declined (un.org).
