The New Yorker cartoon that was banned from Facebook (nudity)



Stevens redrew the cartoon, he said, “but the gain in clothes caused too great a loss in humor.” He then noted that Facebook has different standards when it comes to males and females. As “the guidelines say, ‘male nipples are ok.’ It’s the ‘female nipple bulges’ that are the problem.”

Dear God,

Why did you make women's breast sooooooo sinful? Why did you have to make them bigger than men's? Didn't you know men would object to women having something bigger than man's would cause an uproar???
