Visually, not a lot, but Facebook and Instagram think there's a LOT between the two. So much so that both social networks ban photos showing women’s nipples but allow men’s in any shape or size.
The social campaign #FreeTheNipple was started by filmamker Lina Esco earlier this year because she felt women and men should be treated equally.
For the record, Facebook and Instagram deem snaps that show a woman’s areola (that’s the full area of a nipple, Wiki fans) as “graphic content” and therefore not allowed.
A new campaign is urging women to post pictures of themselves on Instagram with cut-out men’s nipples over their own to get around the rules. The hashtag #FreeTheNipple is being used.
The movement is now growing in
popularity, so much so that Miley Cyrus has weighed in with her own doctored shot.

So, in solidarity with #’FreeTheNipple, and for a bit of fun, we’ve wondered what would happen if Facebook’s ban applied to some of the most iconic nipple shots ever? We’d replace them with men’s nipples of course.
