    REVIEW FOR 2025 NEW YORK NIL FESTIVAL

    After being "selected" for the 2025 NY NIL Festival, I was impressed that those in the judging group seemed to understand how humor and a political statement can go hand in hand. Though my assumption here may be a stretch within the NIL judging group, my submission "cleavage" was meant to politicize both men and women as sexual objects.
    More specifically, how we are trained from childhood to see large b****** as a reflection of a foundation for keen sexuality within a woman's personality, and how a large penis is a symbol of sexual prowess in a man's personality. That said, the two objectifications that seem similar are not the same by normal public display. The reveal of large b****** is common by prejudicial encouragement. The public reveal of the penis, seen as "cleavage" is culturally taboo. My submission was meant to affect a reaction of humor + political thought.
