Students, MPs and former Miss Iceland go topless in celebration of #FreeTheNipple in Iceland By Kolbeinn Tumi Daðason 26. mars 2015 16:21 Few brave girls from Kvennaskolinn in Reykjavik who marched downtown today with their tops off. Vísir/Getty Images Icelandic women celebrate #FreeTheNipple day today. Students of Icelandic high schools are among those showing support for the cause. Among those are a few brave girls from Kvennaskolinn in Reykjavik who marched downtown today with their tops off. "We followed discussions on Twitter and elsewhere online and decided to take it one step further," says Embla Huld Þorleifsdottir a student at Kvennaskólinn. Although the temperature was just above freezing she says they didn't feel cold at all. The sun came out during their walk which helped. "The response was great. Women came to their windows and greeted us, one of them actually ran out and took off her top. Drivers slowed down and there were many who took pictures." She adds that out of the lot only one person boo-ed the group of girls. Þetta var bara að gerast! Áfram rokkuðu menntaskólapíur! #FreeTheNipplepic.twitter.com/ZJE2KOr4Ur — Hildur Hjörvar (@hhjorvar) March 26, 2015 But it's not only students that set their nipples free today. Members of parliament have also taken part in the revolution. One of them is Björt Ólafsdóttir, a member of parliament for Björt framtíð, who posted a picture on Twitter with the message: "These are for feeding babies. Shove that up your patriarchy." Þessi er hérna til að gefa börnum að borða.

On Twitter she asked when basic anatomy had become a sexual thing and something to hide. Former Miss Iceland Manúela Ósk has also posted a picture of her nipple as well as Margrét Erla Maack, former media personality and circus performer. #FreeTheNipple pic.twitter.com/RrFh26WLBS — Manuela Ósk (@manuelaosk) March 26, 2015 Þessi var tekin niður af instagram. #prudes#FreeTheNipplepic.twitter.com/c50t5lX8HE — margrét erla maack (@mokkilitli) March 26, 2015 #FreeTheNipple News in English Mest lesið „Mér að mæta“ ef krossar yrðu fjarlægðir Innlent Hlé vegna gagna frá ChatGPT Innlent Trump gerði lítið úr æðstu heiðursorðu bandarískra hermanna Erlent „Það er komið að skuldadögum“ Innlent Sérsveitin kölluð til í Urriðaholti Innlent Óttast að tapa bestu flúðum landsins í virkjun Innlent Katrín gerir upp framboðið og safnar heitum Innlent Pétur Jökull hljóti að vera einstaklega óheppinn Innlent Þriggja daga heitavatnsleysi í næstu viku Innlent Segir verkfræðinga á villigötum Innlent
