Frankly, though, if they are fighting for topless equality, these women would be much better suited to fight a good fight. A bunch of Playboy Bunnies would not be seen the same as normal people. It would be seen as an extension of sex into everyday life, rather than an extension of a man's rights to women. I understand that nudity does not equal sex, and was actually trying to make that point and steer this conversation away from statements like I made earlier, such as this: Quote:

I'll say pretty much what everyone else has said...I think it is fine for women to go topless. Personally I think that if women were allowed to go topless whenever they wanted, then the public would start accepting that that is the norm. Obviously there are men and women who will find this offensive or sexual but there are people now that find someone whereing a bikini offensive or sexual. It would be no different (eventually). Initially it would be a "new" thing but people would get used to it.
Now, the question I have is how many women would want to do it? I hate to say it but through discussions with my wife, breasts are not too comfortable when you run with them without a bra on. If you have large breasts even walking might be uncomfortable without some sort of support. Legalizing it, in my mind will not result in all women suddenly going topless. Those that want to, will be able to but in all likelyhood most still won't. And as for men going topless..I would have to agree that some men should not be allowed to go topless. And then there is, of course, the whole question of spandex...but let's not go there right now.

This whole thing reminds me of the men who sue to be in women's beauty pageants. Occasionally they win the suit, but you still don't hear of men flooding Miss America with applications. Just one more frivolous lawsuit that makes for a laugh.

this is legal in Columbus, OH. As far as I know it has been for some time, but I've only ever seen one person invoking their right -- it was at the annual community festival at Goodale Park, after dark, when everybody left their was pretty much drunk.

I say let them go topless if it makes them more comfortable.
I don't think it's a major civil liberties issue, but if they want to go topless I see no real reason not to let them. the female chest isn't more objectionable than the male chest.
