The fight is not to be naked but its to be treated equally. i don't understand how can we encourage our girls to be engineers or astronauts when we cannot teach them to be comfortable in their own skin. I don't know how we talk about education our girls, when they're insecure about their bodies. Most of a girls teenage years of growing up are the opposite to a mans. boys hit puberty and become strong, masculine, hit they hit gyms and make their chests and grow and their fathers are proud of their sons masculinity. Women on the other hand , we bleed every month , our dresses are made longer against our will sometimes..our mothers start to teach us how a girl must eat, sit, not spread legs, not stay out late, wax, dress appropriately according to the surrounding against her will because she is becoming a "woman". When young girls start getting breasts , they are still mothers that tape them/make their daughters wear loose clothes so her breasts don't show..We are at a constant watch of what we wear , how we sit, the tone of our voice, the bra strap that must not show, te neckline that shouldn't drop when you're setting food on dinner table - while our brother are probably outside discussing bikes with their friends in an alley, or lying down playing games , with no restrictions on spreading their legs, wearing half pants, their vest peeping out or wearing clothes they are comfortable in- when a mans body reacts that same way as a girls, we name it his strength, In the midst of all of this, you tell me feminism is NOT about popping our boobs or bra strips out..Instead it's about educating girls to have career goals - but you tell me, how you can go inspire young buds to have big dreams, when 90% of her worries are related to her body and comfort? I'd rather teach my girls to love and accept their bodies as they are, understand their sexuality and gender, before I talk about a career. "Women's breasts are not the problem,sexual objectification is the problem, breasts don't hurt children, breasts feed children and its sexualization  of women's bodies that's actually hurting children the most."
