Hello all, I'd really appreciate if you took the 5 minutes or so to read this...

I am a 19 year old music lover, animal lover, art lover and female, with yes you guessed it, breasts. Oh get out! 

There are over 6 million more women in the word than there are men. So mathematically, right there, that means that accompanying that 6 million women, there would be 12 million breasts in total. This is not taking into account women whom have had mastectomies, implants, reductions and so on.  

Thats a fair amount really and not even an overall statistical representation of the whole population.

Now I am not one to generally sit on my high horse, but currently, it seems that I am going to sit two horses high, because this is an issue that needs addressing far further than that of what has been argued. 

As a fellow female, supporting a pair of breasts, I feel my voice, as well as the voices of all the ladies on here should be heard. Breasts are not as sexual, erotic, deviant or rude as many may seem to believe. Sorry guys, but to us, they are more so an inconvenience than a pleasurable entity. In reality, they are for purposes of feeding newborns and that is generally for only 4-6 months per child every time a woman reproduces. So for the other nearly 98% of the time, they are simply two fatty objects positioned on our chests that we have to strap up for social convenience. 

Now in relation to miss Williams, it seems many of you are either troubled, intrigued or simply defensive. It seems that with regard to the socialisation, ethics and morals of each and every human being that has encountered this photograph it would appear that some of you are lacking these basic human distinctions that separate us from our more so subordinate animal friends. There seems to be a sudden burst of Paramore.net fans on here in the last 48 hours and of such, a majority of you have done so simply because of the recent events surrounding Hayley, Twitter and a said topless photograph.  

Of those new 'fans', many of you have repeatedly posted the whole photograph showing Hayley on a bed with her shirt rolled down to reveal two totally normal breasts. Of the majority again, it appears that the ParaWebCrew have repeatedly warned, deleted and played officer towards these trolls. 

Ladies and gentlemen, this is not as big a deal as many are making it out to be. Hayley herself has said that she was 'hacked', many others including 'Twitter Experts' have said it appears that the timeframe between the photo being taken, posted and deleted all sits relative to the acquisition that Hayley herself has posted the image 'accidentally'. Furthermore, if she was indeed hacked, it is being argued that the photo would still be posted in her TwitPic as a true 'Hacker' would have changed her personal details; password included. 

Regardless of this, what my argument boils down to at its rawest as that this is not a big deal. At least not biologically; biologically there was nothing askew about that body that I would deem worthy enough of being removed, altered or shot!

Emotionally on the other hand, Hayley is probably suffering severely from this. If you know Hayley as the chronic Tweeter as so many of us do, you will have noticed that she has been absent from Twitter over the past 48 hours, besides two tweets surrounding the event itself. 

Hayley has not chosen this 'hero' stance that seems to be surrounding her; it has been thrust upon her as a musical 'celebrity'. This is what I believe to be the true defining factor here; that she is meant to be a responsable woman, and take this 'celebrity' in her stride. This would then include no public displays of violence, vulgarity, alcoholism and above all else, promiscuity. So then I ask you, what is her purpose other than preforming and living quietly by while all of her 'normal' 21 year old friends live their lives? She is basically restricted in doing anything remotely 21-year-old-ish! She lives by a schedule handed to her every morning. 

What one does in the privacy of their own home is simply that; private. When it become a viral issue is when it 'apparently' has to become everybodys business. This will be something that she has to now live with for the rest of her life regardless of the fact that she herself is standing by the fact that she did not do this. The consequences of the actions surrounding this event will be inflicting on her; emotionally and mentally. She will have to bare the brunt of this on her own, in front of fans, the guys, her boyfriend, interviewers and her parents. Is this not enough punishment for something that still is unofficially credited as her own doing? 

To those of you whom continue posting, prepare to be flagged by the rest of us who would stand by this young woman more than you could ever imagine. As fans, we are willing to accept this as an 'accident' and continue on letting her know that it doesn't alter our perception of her whatsoever. We are all human after all, and at the end of the day, she is no different. 

This will probably go unnoticed and I accept that, but I had to articulate myself further than just flagging trolls. 

Hayley, do not let this get to you. There is nothing wrong with any of this, there is only wrong in the fact that you will more than likely make yourself suffer. We have already begun to move on. You have to too. Give it a little while and all will be fine. Don't let it now define you as an individual from here on in, but let it direct you in life; you are young, you climb, you slip, you fall...But you will climb again, you will learn from this and this will guide you in future actions. We have all been to places we would much rather stay as far away from as possible, but at the end of the day once something is done, we can only look back and appreciate it as a turing point in life. Please know just how much you mean to all of us...There is nothing you could do that would change any of that.

Join this if you feel no woman should ever have to suffer at the hands of humiliation or abuse, either accidentally by their own hand or at the maliciousness of another!
