Feminism is being equal to men. Not getting naked to please them. If you want to get naked for yourself, ok, but the public nature of Jennette's disclosure suggests that's not why she's doing it, at least not entirely. She's doing it for the reaction, whether it's fapping, being perceived as grown up, or whatever. It's ok for Nathan to go shirtless precisely because he doesn't get the kind of comments from women that Jennette got, and because his shirtless pics were not taken solely for the purpose of being gawked at by women. I don't mean to go all women's-studies on you, but one of the points those classes make is that women have always been the object of the male gaze. Men, however,have not so much been the object of female sexuality, historically; more often they are the subject of their own sexuality, with the female being the object. Some women understandably, grew tired of feeling like their sexuality was centered on how other people perceived their bodies, rather than on what they, themselves,found sexy in another person. Women clamoring to see Nathan shirtless is a refreshing reversal of this phenomenon, though it appears to you to be a double-standard, and I understand that. (Men are occasionally also subjects of the male gaze- a quick google search of "Nathan Kress shirtless" comes up with the vast majority of sites featuring not women but gay men making similar comments about Nathan to the ones Jennette's getting).
