I have a question: Are you women oppressed, are you truly disadvantaged because the courts won't let you do that one thing that women have been dying to do since the invention of the cantilevered bra - bare your breasts?
Is this really holding you back? Is it making you less of a woman because you don't have the fundamental freedom to show the world your tits? WOuld you feel more complete if you would tan your breasts at the beach, or garden with your boobs out? Is it going to make a difference in the world for women if this mighty victory is won? Also, what percentage of women, lets say American women really really care about this? Enough to make it an actual issue??? These are just a few questions that I, an ignorant, unlearned man, has about women. |

To heck with freedom and its accompanying nudity. I would prefer it be legally mandated that women must wear bras that fit.
Most women wear bras that either don't support what they have or are so small that the women look like they have six breasts. Good bras can make average breasts look spectacular. I prefer "spectacular" (and my imagination) to having to face the ugly truth. |

thales has a great point there, most women are not wearing the correct size bra. I'm sure I'm not actually!
A friend of mine has fairly sizeable breasts. She claims to be a 36C. She got measured once and the woman found her to be a 36DD. Well, my friend just will not wear that sized bra. Although the 36DD bra will most likely make her look better. But uhh, yeah... I don't see why women shouldn't go around topless if they'd like. Stupid puritanical society that we live in anyway.

I think the biggest opponent to this would be the adult industry. If it was out there all the time, what would be the big deal? Other than the fact that day in and day out we'd see about 95% old withered ones, their business might actually go up.
I predict a increase in either adult videos or hot pokers if this passed.

Having been to the topless beaches of Europe, and the nude beaches of Croatia....after a short while, it's no thing. The first 14-15 year old girls you see are a little strange--I shouldn'be be looking at that. But soon you just don't care.
And think of a public bus. Nekkid. All ages, all types. That's a nude beach. |

This has been legal in the province of Ontario for about 8 years now:

I think if women were walking around topless all the time, boobs would lose their appeal. Not to mention premature sagging...

If women want to go topless so be it, its not like most people will or that it would actually harm people, heck seeing naked breasts and stuff may actually be good for people as there is currently a good deal of stigma attatched to the human body... ok some might not be as pretty as others but if its there all the time you want it less, heck "fully clothed" might become the next fetish.

On the rape thing: if rapists did start targeting topless women, what would happen? The women would put thier tops back on. The law would allow toplessness, but there would be none. The boob baring women would be satisfied without boobs appearing. I win.
I personally don't believe there'd be an increase in rape. Maybe even the opposite? |

I read somewhere that bras didn't actually help to prevent sagging or anything along those lines. It's actually just another one of those things people get used to doing.
Anyways, maybe if more women walked around topless us guys would get used to them and could actually focus on something we've been trying to get around to... their eyes. Or maybe we'll just focus even more on the beloved junk in the trunk. I have a feeling if women get the freedom to walk around topless us guys won't be happy 'till we get a national Mandatory day or week where hot women(and only hot women) have to walk to walk around naked. God bless the Wonder Bra!!!! |

why stop with topless, if were addressing the issue of offending people with our nudity, why can't we all walk round wearing or not wearing whatever the fuck we like, we originally started wearing clothes to keep us warm not because our naked bodies are offensive(well not all of them).

Breasts are for feeding babies and had our societies not conditioned us to believe otherwise, we wouldn't even be having this discussion. My problem is not so much with with women not being allowed to go to the beach topless as much as it is with mothers feeling they have to go hide somewhere to feed their child.

I've heard the rape is about power argument many times, but I have never been convinced. (ASIDE: Despite countless google hits to the contrary.)The evidence that leads me to believe that rape is about sex: 1. Rape involves sex. 2. Men are most sexually attracted to women in their prime reproductive years (post-pubescent/pre-menopausal) . 3. Men do not (generally) rape other men. 4. Most rape victims are women in their prime reproductive years. 5. Victims of rape who are in their prime reproductive years have a harder time recovering than those victims outside of prime reproductive years. 6. Victims of vaginal rape have a harder time recovering than victims of oral rape. My sources are at work and I am at home. If people are interested, I can find the sources tomorrow. |

But I agree with wnker85 that it would take all the fun out of naked bodies, if you just saw them all the time. The excitement in naked bodies is that they're usually covered and only just peeking at you through sexy underwear...and only come out when they want to play! Also agree with hannukahharry...it is about double standards.

If topless was legal, I would go topless. Maybe not all the time, but sometimes. After a while, especially late in the day, women get tired of dealing with underwires and bras. I think the majority of women who choose to go topless do it because they don't want to deal with the frustrations that clothes bring.

Humans, however, evolved to be more upright than any other species of mammal. As such, the primary focus of sexual attraction - the buttocks - was less visible. Anthropologists believe that this is why human breasts are always larger in females than males as opposed to only when lactating.

For a person who hates clothes, this would be wonderful. I never got the reason why men always went crazy over women's breasts. The United States is like the only county that veiw breasts as sex objects more than a feeding tool. All breast are are fat and glands.
