Some two dozen topless women protested in a New York City park on a hot, sweaty Sunday as part of what they called "National Go-Topless Day" to draw attention to inequality in topless rights between men and women.
There were topless men in the park, too, but nobody paid them much attention, a disparity, organizers said, that demonstrated the need for the event.
The topless women drew crowds of onlookers who took pictures and video with their cell phones.
"We say there is nothing wrong with the female nipple," Karen Heaven, an organizer of the event, told the crowd that quickly formed around her in Manhattan's Bryant Park. She was wearing white pants and not much else besides a purse over her shoulder. "My dog has six, I have two, but I can be put in jail for showing my nipples. It's 2012 -- what are we thinking?"
It is legal for women to go topless in public in New York City but laws vary widely across the United States. Heaven and her colleagues say discrimination is unconstitutional and they want full equality.

Hm... I wouldn't like to go topless in public. Breasts ( not man-boobs!) will alwayss draw the attention of men, because it is a sexual attribute. So I wouldn't feel comfortable if it was allowed even if many women would walk around topless all of a sudden.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't go topless in public, but i think women that feel ok about it, shouldn't be punished just because some pervs can't behave.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I love breasts and I think that seeing them everyday on the streets would probably ruin the magic, that mystery of the unknown.
ReplyDeleteHey David! you've won The Liebster Award at http://inviziblekidz.blogspot.pt/2012/08/the-award-interlude-6.html
ReplyDeleteHope it finds you well.
I kinda agree with you there Gabriel. The aura of womanly mystery delights is nicely 'tit'illating.
ReplyDeleteSorry, my punner is rusty. :)
I'll be over to check out my award in a bit! :) :)
I have to agree with the ladies too. Topless women in public wouldn't be left alone. People don't know how to leave others alone in this screwy world.
ReplyDeleteBetter to be titillating. :)
