Don't teach women how to dress — teach men to behave   The China Post news staff

In the conservative and prim little island that is Taiwan, many were shocked when several young women bared their chests in a series of photo shoots several weeks back, as they sought to spread the campaign called “Free the Nipple” locally.

It isn't difficult to imagine what public remarks followed the act, and the social media on which the photos were uploaded later asked the girls to remove the images, as “they violated regulations.”

Started by activist and filmmaker Lina Esco, Free the Nipple is an equality movement that advocates not blind support for women to expose their chests on any whim, but one that aims to rid today's society of sexual stereotyping and the mindset that sexualizes and oppresses the female upper body.

It is not only social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram that prohibit the display of female nudity, but also legal systems around the world, while men are left to their own devices and strip whenever they please.

As claimed by Apple Daily columnist Mr. H, “the reason why men's nudity will not cause social problems is due to natural evolution. If many women today started raping men after seeing nude photos of them, or if such pictures somehow resulted in a higher sex crime rate, then all countries and social media would be banning (photos of nude men). But if we see nude photos of women on Facebook and everywhere else, have you thought about the consequences? Men's libido would rise and those with a weak sense of control would find it impossible to contain their sexual urges ... I believe the sex crime rates would rise considerably as well.”

According to H's logic, women are to cover themselves up because (a.) their bodies are sexually provocative and (b.) men cannot be trusted to control themselves. He is implying that women have the responsibility to avoid sexual assault initially or to simply accept that “they had it coming” when harassment does occur.

This gender stereotyping is reinforced in school as well.

People who process their thoughts in the manner H does may blame this on the way they were educated. All around the world, dress codes have existed in schools for a long stretch of time and many more are reinforcing the already-ridiculous code by expanding their restrictions. The said dress codes have been in place to shame and discourage young girls from dressing in ways that represent themselves, all under the claim of keeping scholars focused on their studies. This very restriction indicates that girls are being seen as potential subjects that cause “distraction” in school, and are taught not to be “distracting,” while boys are not educated on being more respectful to the opposite sex, nor are faculty educated on treating students equally.

Tokyo ward to recognize same-sex marriages

TOKYO--Fumino Sugiyama will finally be able to marry his girlfriend of four years. He couldn't before, because same-sex marriages weren't recognized in Japan, and he is legally a woman.

With a landmark vote Tuesday by the assembly of Tokyo's Shibuya ward, the district famous as a mecca for trendy youngsters became the first locale in Japan to recognize same-sex partnerships as the “equivalent of a marriage,” guaranteeing the identical rights of married couples, including hospital visitations and apartment rentals.

Sugiyama, who runs a couple of restaurants, said he welcomed the move as a key step in starting a long-needed debate about LGBT issues in Japan — a culture that values harmony so much that being different can get downright traumatic.

We are not out to change the world,” said Sugiyama, 33, who knew of his male identity since he was in kindergarten and had cried as a child because he didn't want to wear a skirt. “We simply want the right to be with the person we love.”

The new ordinance applies only to Shibuya, and it's technically not legally binding, though violators will have their names posted on the ward's website.

Shibuya — an area with a population of 217,000, including 9,000 foreigners — is also planning an aggressive educational campaign on LGBT issues.

Japanese conservatives, including the powerful politicians of the ruling party, have been unwilling to back the initiative, and protest rallies have popped up in Shibuya.

A great social ramification will be expected from such a decision,” Mari Sato, a ruling party ward legislator opposed to the move, told the assembly ahead of Tuesday's vote. “We need much more time to discuss this issue.”

The vote passed, with the majority of the 34 ward's legislators standing up to show their approval.
