If it's legal for big, fat hairy dudes to walk around shirtless, I can think of no sane reason why female nipples are considered "obscene."
I think that the standard Feminist logic is that nobody sexually objectifies male mammary areolae, which means that they are neither offensive nor disgusting, and may consequently be flaunted in public displays.
Some people sexually objectify female mammary areolae (even when the distance from the actual genital organs is known), which makes them both offensive and disgusting, and necessary to hide from view, except when breastfeeding or participating in a Feminist rally.
The female areolae of other species, though, may be presented with impunity, as the males of their species do not objectify them sexually.
The adoptive mother of Romulus and Remus gets off on two counts
1. She is breastfeeding, and
2. She in non-human.
Beyond that, Feminists and others who share their sensitivities will surely stay the Hell away from art galleries, which are hotbeds of patriarchy, sexual objectification and visual debauchery.
I'm looking forward to the day when Femen shows up to protest a Gauguin exhibit.
