新西兰22岁女大生葛蕾斯(Grace Blundell)响应“解放乳头运动”(Free the Nipple campaign),近日号召同好在当地海滩解放,挺身支持该理念,不料大批观光客却以“有色眼光”驻足拍照,让她和同伴十分困扰。
据《每日邮报》报导,该活动去年12月在奥克兰知名景点传教湾(Mission Bay)举行。葛蕾斯表示,此活动希望唤起女性对身体的自主权,能不受外界异样眼光窥视,“我不希望被性别束缚,被他人说三道四,是时候该改变了”,并强调自己在海滩上脱掉上衣时,感到浑身充满力量。
然而活动中却遭到许多观光客围观、指指点点,让她感到不舒服,“某些人的确以情色眼光看待我们,而不是了解背后的理念”,更有人质问“怎么不去天体海滩(Nude Beach),要在这边露胸?”,她怒呛对方该去问旁边半裸的男游客。
葛蕾斯说,该理念要大众接受,似乎还有一段很长的路要走。她表示不会反击那些看笑话的游客,因为此举违反理念,她仍正向看待活动的意义,并乐观地说,将持续宣导理念,要让社会广为接受女性“解放乳头”的意义。
“解放乳头”是电影制作人妮娜·伊斯科于2013年发起的社会运动,以追求性别平等为诉求。支持者认为传统社会对男性和女性的胸部及乳头存在双重标准,人们允许男性在公开场合裸露胸部及乳头,但却不认同女性也这么做,以致女性遭到差别待遇,他们希望能打破这种错误观念。

Ms Blundell said they garnered huge amounts of attention on the beach from some people who were just curious, and others who she felt did not understand the point they were making
Women were not alone in their protest, men passionate about the cause also joined in
While the protesters fought for a serious issue, they also had fun, enjoying a day at the beach
