So apparently pre-colonial Indian women just… wore saris without a blouse?? Midriff out, tiddies vibing, nobody cared?? Meanwhile our temples have 10% pure porn on the OUTSIDE WALLS where KIDS could see because kama was a legit life goal???
Then the Victorians showed up, saw all this, had a collective aneurysm, and said “obscene” is now a crime. Let the temples rot. Invented the blouse. Made us feel ashamed of our own ancestors.
“They did not simply colonize our country; they colonized the nipple.”
Anyway 90% of “modest Indian culture” is just Victorian missionaries gaslighting us for 200 years.

now go stare at a khajuraho carving and rethink everything 🗿
Why tag it NSFW? It is a nipple, and one made of rock…
Also by tagging NSFW aren’t you reenforcing the idea that it is obscene?
Because workplaces tend to be culturally conservative because all sorts of people have to work there what with their diverse ideas of what is suitable for the workplace and what isn’t.
Removed, thanks for the suggestion!
Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
Great, now everyone in the office is jerking it
Because the Victorians won.
