Icelandic members of parliament free their nipples

An Icelandic member of Parliament has joined the #freethenipple campaign by posting a picture of her breast on Twitter.

Björt Ólafsdóttir of the party Bright Future posted her picture last night with the message: „This is for feeding children. Shove it up your patriarchy!“

Another MEP, Líneik Anna Sævarsdóttir of the Progressive Party, followed suit and posted a picture of herself breastfeeding her twins.

Hundreds og Icelandic men and women yesterday posted pictures of their nipple in support of the #freethenipple campaign, inteded to address equal rights for men and women, a more balanced system of censorship, and legal rights for all women to breastfeed in public.

University and high school students in Iceland are setting their nipples free and have declared March 26th a #FreeTheNipple day at their schools. They feel the nipple on the female body should be allowed to be free like on the male body.

A female Icelandic student posted a picture of herself showing her nippleTuesday night. The posting received criticism from a male user who has since removed his post as has the female student. The criticism started a movement that now sees students at the University of Reykjavik along with three Reykjavik high schools declaring a #FreeTheNipple day today.
