I just want us to stick to the issues and not venture into body-shaming or slut-shaming. There are a lot of reasons to not like her (soooo many) but her breasts and images of them, should not be one of them. That’s not who we are. (Hypocrisy in that regard is different but then it about the hypocrisy, not about the images themselves)
