Rihanna Shows Her Breasts And The World Explodes (With Hypocrisy) *NSFW*

If you're not one of Rihanna's 13 million Instagram followers, you might have missed her latest posts from a shoot she did with adult-entertainment-gone-high-end magazine Lui. No stranger to controversy, she still manages to shock people, this time by doing something as obscene as - GASP - appearing topless in a magazine. That's right people, the WHORE shows her SINFUL BREASTS. Seriously though, she poses topless, and people are now calling her "disgusting" and "nasty", and some guys are even complaining that there's "not a lot left to the imagination, huh?". I know at this point you're dying to see these greatly offensive photos, so let me indulge you (you know, for science):

This is what they're crying about.

And the other one:

Absolutely disgusting, isn't it? Wait.. that's right, it isn't.

Let me start this off by stating the obvious: they're just boobs, people. She has a nice pair of boobs, she shows them off in a magazine in what is, quite frankly, very beautiful images, and now she's "disgusting"? What exactly do you see when you look at this photo? Something along these lines(?):

Seriously though, what's so wrong about this image? They're just boobs!

I'd also like to point out that maybe, just maybe, Rihanna doesn't care about leaving anything to your imagination. Maybe her sexuality isn't defined by how intriguing she is to you, but how comfortable she can be with herself? Maybe her sexuality is driven by her wants, her desires, and how she wants to express herself, not by how she can be the most appealing to men. I know many people (probably predominantly women) will insist she's doing this to appeal to men, but I beg to differ. Rihanna knows she doesn't need to do any of this to appeal to anyone. This is about her expressing herself, her sexuality, her womanhood, and celebrating it, being completely unashamed of it. Why do people find this so offensive? Two reasons:

1. Because society fears female sexuality when it doesn't exist for the sole purpose of serving male desire.

2. (In this particular case) because it features a woman's nipples.

All this outrage and controversy sparked by something that we all have (women and men), yet something society has decided is offensive, or at the very least "highly provocative" on a woman.

Et voilà! It's suddeny not offensive, safe for work, and not unlike most images we see everywhere.

Of course, a lot of the hate she receives is from other women, because we all know many women can't handle it when other women are strong, confident and self sufficient, and aren't ashamed of it (this is what is popularly known as female jealousy). Luckily she pays them no mind, and neither should the rest of us in our own private lives. I leave you know with this - something powerful that pretty much sums up most of this post in one image:

Could probably have saved you a bit of time if I just posted this image at the beginning of this blog post.

If you enjoyed this post (or at least Rihanna's boobs) like it, share it, tweet it, follow me on bloglovin', or send it to a friend who's always wanted to give Rihanna a pearl necklace.


*UPDATE* The photos have now been deleted from her Instagram account. Good thing I have them here!
