Because nothing gets 13 year olds hornier than the State Seal of Virginia. Idiots.

Don't give them ideas. I wouldn't be surprised if they promoted gender segregation as some form of “protection against the ~~gay~~ trans threat”.

It’s just going to be the ol’ ‘women aren’t allowed to go to school’ schtick again.

Virginia Flag

Seriously?

Maybe it's not really about the nipple but about what it says: thus always unto tyrants.

The dumbfucks in the Deregulated Texas Oblast would lose their shit over Marianne, the French Goddess of Liberty.

It’s also ironic and hypocritical, given the USA is the biggest porn industry in the world.

As someone that subscribes to the fundamental tenants of vexillography, I have a bigger issue with Virginia's state flag overall design. It is bad practice to use a state seal in a flag design. It is worse practice to also include text in a flag's design. -Imagine if you shrank that flag down to 2"x3" do you think you'd still be able to read that? Flags are supposed to be read from a distance.

-My solution is to keep the boob, and get rid of everything else except the blue and white background. It would be distinctive and it would still retain it's same symbolism.

vexillography is just prescriptivism for rectangles
