So, last night during the Super Bowl halftime show, Adam Levine stripped off his tank top that looked like a Target pillow and showed the world his nipples.

Which, cool, fine, but this is a huge double standard considering the fact that everyone FLIPPED OUT when Janet Jackson showed her nipple during the halftime show, and now Twitter is just all:

Some people were simply troubled by the presence of nipples in general.

And others were troubled specifically due to the fact that Janet had to deal with wild amounts of drama, and the double standard between men and women is absolutely ABSURD.

I’m sorry but Adam Levine should get the same grief as Janet did for showing us his unclothed nipples; more specifically, this should prove how absurd, hypocritical, racist and sexist that puritanical hysteria over Janet’s boob really was. — Reappropriate (@reappropriate) February 4, 2019

This country should have a serious chat about why Adam Levine’s nipples are, uh, apparently “acceptable” on TV but Janet Jackson was shamed and blacklisted for something she didn’t even do.#SuperBowl — Charlotte Clymer 🏳️‍🌈 (@cmclymer) February 4, 2019

Wow, this has been a journey.
