"Glitter tits" AIBU to think the people running this are dangerously stupid?

The event, to paint on your breasts, has been advertised to "all self identified women"

So, in an attempt to be woke, the venue will let in anyone who says they're a woman, no questions asked.

AIBU to think the venue are stupid if they think it's not an invitation for pervs to come along and get off on women's boobs.

Not everyone cup of tea, but I can see it could even be fun with mates. But not if there are strange men there, no way!

Ever painted with you fingers, hands, even feet? Well how about your bare chest!

In this fabulous body positive mindful art workshop, we'll be exploring how the simplicity of print making with the body, contrasts to the heavy fetishization of the female form in the media.

For far too long, women's breasts have been sexualised, idealised and airbrushed, a source of controversy and body image woes.

So we're inviting all of you wonderful self-identifying women, to come and join us for an uplifting evening of mindul art making, to take back that body ownership, to create your very own art prints using paint, eco-glitter and yep, that's right, your bare chest!

Glasses of prosecco and fancy juice will be also available!

This reminds me of the phrase "so woke your brain fell out!"

I notice they haven't advertised an age restriction either.

Well that's going to end well

I'm with you OP. Stupid idea. Could be fun if they weren't being so hipster but will be ruined by pervs.

Guineapiglet345 · 20/01/2019 20:15

I’d assume it was being run by pervs to be honest and more fool any woman who goes along.

rightreckoner · 20/01/2019 20:16

What a load of perv-attracting, puerile crap.

User758172 · 20/01/2019 20:17

Stupid idea.

Seline · 20/01/2019 20:18

Yeah this is definitely a creative excuse to see tits.

Beansandcoffee · 20/01/2019 20:18

Self identifying women? I am a woman I don’t self identify so could I attend. Not that I would want to sounds dreadful.

marvellousnightforamooncup · 20/01/2019 20:19

Why would anyone want to do that?

Mulberry72 · 20/01/2019 20:19

Ridiculous!

Laiste · 20/01/2019 20:24

''For far too long, women's breasts have been sexualised, idealised and airbrushed''

By whom mostly? Ah yes. Men. And yet they're all welcome to come on in and perv at the glittery titties.
Hmm

GrimSisters · 20/01/2019 20:26

Their 'Mindfulness for men' courses aren't advertised for those who self identify as men - I assume those events are for actual penis havers only?

SexNotJenga · 20/01/2019 20:28

I'd be interested to hear how many females-assigned-at-birth attend.

GrimSisters · 20/01/2019 20:29

One very beardy man is offering to go along and glitter up his moobs- he'll be a self identifying woman for the duration of the event. Hmm

Sexnotgender · 20/01/2019 20:30

Grim and stupid.

WhoGivesADamnForAFlakeyBandit · 20/01/2019 20:30

Aren't they just going to end up with a room of non-breasted people who only came to perve? What woman would want to do that anyway?

TwitterLovesMAPs · 20/01/2019 20:31

I’d love it if it just ended up being a load of beardy blokes in wigs and dresses expecting to see some tits and there being no actual real tits.

Weezol · 20/01/2019 20:34

Oh I think there will be complete tits in attendance...

Bezalelle · 20/01/2019 20:36

How is this any different from the "heavy fetishisation" they are trying to work against?

Beerflavourednipples · 20/01/2019 20:38

Glasses of prosecco and fancy juice will be also available!

For a split second I totally read this as 'fanny juice'!

I wonder if Brian from Hull is going to this event? Grin

timetostepup · 20/01/2019 20:42

Aren't they just going to end up with a room of non-breasted people who only came to perve?

That'd be great karma.

But I would imagine there will probably be some naive right-on young women who think they're smashing the patriarchy while convincing themselves the nice women with penises are terribly oppressed and it's such a good thing they can enjoy the therapeutic value of being in the same room as half naked young women.

I remember the trouble I had taking off glittery nail varnish ... count me out.

Meangirls36 · 20/01/2019 20:44

What? Who's organising it? No public indecency then? Are ladies just gonna be walking around with their tits out?

charliebear78 · 20/01/2019 20:46

I have seen something like this advertised in my local town-This was painting with your boobs onto a plate and you kept the plate!
However when you were making your no doubt wonderful creation, this was done in private!
I would need a very small plate

IsItThatTimeAgain · 20/01/2019 20:47

Sounds like it's run by these guys.
