I don't understand the obssession with whether a woman's nipples show through a dress - it's as though it's totally scandalous. Absent a birth defect, we're all born with nipples, so what's the big deal?

Women are not meant to be aroused (or cold) without permission.
 
From Lisa Wade, PhD at Socialogical Images:
Except times haven’t changed in the sense that women’s bodies still aren’t allowed to just be. Their nipples either must show, or must not show, or they should show in some contexts, or are allowed to show, but in other contexts they better not show. (Remember the outcry over Hilary Clinton’s “cleavage”? Can you imagine if she’d shown some nip!?)

So apparently we’re supposed to have nipple bras, bras with “modesty panels,” and a couple rubber bands in our pockets just in case. The one thing that is clearly less than ideal in all this: actual nipples doing what they do.
