Ava’s latest music video, “Unbreakable Spirits,” has just hit the internet, and let’s just say it’s a conversation starter. While many of us are celebrating its empowering message, a wave of criticism has also surfaced. Some have voiced their opinions on the video’s aesthetics—clearly subjective—but a more disturbing trend of complaints has emerged that feels all too familiar.
Take, for instance, a comment that declared, “How can anyone see past her shirt?!” Oh, Susan, it seems like you possess some extraordinary vision. Maybe you should report your superpowers to the local authorities for further investigation!
And let’s talk about the bra issue. Someone suggested that Ava might not be aware of this revolutionary invention called a … what was it? Oh yes, a bra! How fortunate we are that you took the time to inform her team about this trending fashion item. Imagine the embarrassment if she had been blissfully unaware of the need to cover her breasts to cater to your preferences.
“Ruined?” someone lamented. How tragic that your experience was tainted by a free video that you didn’t have to watch at all. And calling her “old lady boobs”? Please, she’s younger than many of us. So, on behalf of Ava and myself, I extend a hearty “Forget you!”
It’s baffling to think that the whole message of the song is overshadowed by the visibility of her anatomy. Yes, that’s right—her nipples! The horror. It seems some viewers are scandalized by the mere outline of female nipples through clothing. Is this your first encounter with a woman’s body that isn’t constrained by a restrictive garment? Sweet summer child, bless your heart!
Just to clarify: if the outline of your nipples can be seen through your shirt, you might as well be considered topless. Handy information to store away; I personally prefer not wearing constrictive clothing, so perhaps I’ll adopt a more liberated approach by going shirtless if it offends someone’s delicate sensibilities.
The comments didn’t stop at body shaming; many took jabs at Ava’s parenting, too. It might be easy to assume that men are the primary culprits of this backlash, but shockingly, most harsh comments have come from women. This internalized misogyny is a real issue, and the amount of slut-shaming and body-shaming is disheartening.
Even more troubling was that some of the most condemning remarks came from mothers on a parenting page! Because we all know you can’t advocate for female empowerment without your trusty over-the-shoulder boulder holder.
Now, to be fair, there are countless supportive comments celebrating the song and its empowering message. However, we cannot remain silent about this nonsense any longer. Nipples and breasts are entirely normal—part of human anatomy, not just women’s bodies. Men have nipples too, and yet, you rarely see them facing the same scrutiny when they’re shirtless, let alone if their nipples are visible through their shirts. Societal shaming aimed at women’s bodies is not only outdated; it’s utterly ridiculous.
So, for those who haven’t caught up with the times, let’s be clear: stop policing women’s bodies based on your personal opinions of modesty. As Lauren Duca eloquently expressed in Teen Vogue, “Everyone has nipples, yet only women’s are sexualized.” This stigma is a choice we make, and it’s time to stop perpetuating it. Nipple shame is harmful to society, damaging to self-esteem, and detrimental to our children. So, for the love of all things holy, let’s just chill about it.
