In the span of a few months, nipples have gone from those things that are affixed to everyone's chest to a cause célèbre. Hollywood types such as Rihanna and Demi and Bruce Willis' daughter Scout have shown support for the movement by baring their breasts in public. And now, model of the moment Cara Delevingne is adding her two cents to the debate with this handy dandy chest-based nipple explainer.

On the left, a simple man nipple, exposed to air and public without censorship. At right, a female nipple, which under Instagram's rules must be covered up. The photo-sharing platform's terms of use state in part: "You may not post violent, nude, partially nude…pornographic or sexually suggestive photos." Your move, Instagram.
