Florence Pugh Frees A Nipple in the Face of Angry Man

Bitter old men are at it again. The twisted, gray shell of manhood. The gamon radiation of trolls and their forthright anger. Settle down, toxic man. It’s just a pair of titties.

Was it really worth the pile on? Does this satisfy your male instinct to club everything to death? Are you thrilled you managed to unleash your hatred on another woman, attempting to make her feel…what? Little? Ashamed?

Florence Pugh, like so many women before her, is proud of her body. And rightly so. Why should she give a fuck what you think? Here she is in a stunning Valentino dress and all you want to talk about is her nipples?

I love her response. Take a read. Soak it up.

It’s not just the rich and famous who get the troll treatment. How much longer can society continue to operate like this? How much longer do we need to tolerate lewd and offensive behavior? When are the platforms going to actually take action and remove these idiots?

Freedom of speech is bollocks. Freedom to write whatever harmful shit you like is bollocks. Yes…pipe the fuck down. I don’t give a crap about drawing a line and who gets to shape the fucking rules. We all know when you’ve crossed the threshold into abuse. When you begin to hurl insults and objectify a woman, you know you’ve crossed that line.

Don’t start spewing to me about your fucking rights. Nobody said you had the right to be an abusive arsehole did they? Was that really in the constitution? There it is, a small line close to the Men Can Be Cockwombles section: “On Saturday Eve, one is permitted to concoct three swear words in the face of women. Age doth matter not. The brutality with wording counts thrice.” Apparently, that last sentence is open to interpretation much like the rest of the vaunted constitution.

When does it end? When can we stop judging women on their appearance? Haven’t we passed the age of enlightenment yet? Are we still hamstrung with 1950s values? Fucks sake. Stop the shaming and free the fucking nipple from the man’s gaze. Everything you see doesn’t have to be sexualized.

Body shaming. It needs to stop. Women aren’t Barbie Dolls. There’s no one size for all. That’s what makes humans beautiful. Special. Unique. And yes, there were women commenting too, but Florence had a reply for the ‘not-all-men’ brigade:

Thank you, Florence Pugh. Queen. Legend.
