Sean Ono Lennon recently took to X to speak out against society’s fascination with female nudity.
Highlighting the inconsistency in how female nudity and violence are perceived, the singer wrote:
“It’s weird how hung up society still is about sex. I know it’s been said, but the fact that female nipples are deemed more offensive than dead bodies says something about our moral compass.”
Clarifying Not Calling Society Prudish
In response to the accusation made by some other user that he’s calling society prudish, Sean clarified that he never made such a claim. Then another comment jokingly said, referring to the accusation:
“I’m the queen of fairness, and I can see why John thought that’s what you meant.”
Lennon replied, elaborating on his initial tweet:
“Hello, your majesty. I think society is hung up in many ways. The hang-ups express themselves in being afraid of nipples and also being obsessed with them. I think both expressions are arguably a pathology.”
Sean’s Skepticism On Astrology
The musician uses the platform to raise his voice on various issues. A few weeks ago, Sean expressed skepticism about the belief in astrology, writing:
“Worrying about Mercury being in retrograde is like worrying that someone is shrinking because they’re walking away from you.”
A user then brought up a rumor about Sean’s father, John Lennon, saying:
“I’ve always wondered if it’s true that your dad had a period where he wouldn’t leave the house if Mercury was in retrograde.”
The rocker confirmed this by sharing:
“My parents were obsessed with astrology, which has a lot to do with my feelings on it. Some went to catholic school. I was trained in hippie nonsense.”
As for his recent projects, Julian Lennon mentioned in a September interview that he and his brother Sean are planning to create music together. They’ve discussed it and have a concept they’d like to explore when they both have time. Julian believes it’s a good idea and hints that it will happen eventually, though he doesn’t give specific details.
