Topless Women

I have never understood this either. I think it is bullshit. The only thing anyone has ever been able to say is that they are veiwed as a sexual organ. Well in that case men have breast to, they just dont develope like womens, actually I have seen some men with some tig ol bitties better. I think men should either hafta wear shirts or women should be able to go around topless too!

 

Personally I enjoy being topless, When I am topless I just feel better and when it is hot in a room I love it if I can take my shirt off and my bra off, however I will admit I would not do this in front of my parents. I have no problem with public nudity but not in front of my parents..anyway's back to the point


To me I think that there are certain areas where you should wear a shirt but anywhere that a male can expose his bare chest a female should be able to as well, however none of us have a right to complain about men being ignorant about women's bodies; etc. unless we try and fight it.

I am not sure what laws are (I'm sure they depend on where you live) but I would imagine you would be able to fight any law that said male nipples and female nipples are different and one is offensive while the other isn't; and I make specific mention of nipples because if anyone argued breasts...well I have seen many a guy with bigger breasts then mine with his shirt off.Here is my personal plan; I say that in these coming months if we are somewhere and its hot out, and all the guys take off their shirts we join right in, if someone comes up and says how offended they are then just calmly say to them that male and female breasts are the same except one produces milk, they all come in different sizes and shapes, and ask if they are offended by your male counterparts. If an officer comes up and asks us to put clothes on then you should politely say that if the men in your area are allowed to have their nipples showing you should too...

On top of this we should begin to raise our children differently,lets teach our children that the human body is beautiful and that they should never be ashamed of it or let someone feel like one persons body is better then another's...

What do you guys think?

 

I know this is a little late . Penises and vaginas are sxual reproductive organs. Breasts are not. It's not showing their tits that makes men perverted. It's the fact that "it's not allowed" that makes it craved the way it is.

 

ie, those Amish fuckers. If they saw a hip they would pass out because it's not allowed. But over in Africa where there titties are swining free 24/7 they have no intrest in them at all.

 

ok i havent read this thread but i just want to say that sleeping topless is great

 

This is a perfect example of feminists mistaking androgeny for equality. Men and women are different, and I thank God for that. Breasts might not be reproductive, but they are certainly erogenous for many women and a great turn on for most men. I think it would a major drag if all women went around topless with saggy breasts.

 

If we were meant to be nude, we would have been born that way.
-Oscar Wilde

The reason clothes were invented was to keep us warm in cold weather, so I think they should be used for that reason, and that reaon only (although with the rising epidemic of obesity, there're an vast amount of people I admit I'd rather not see in the nude). Staying fit is easy people!

 

Well, many (probably most) people in our society would disagree with you. Living together in society often means foregoing one's preferences out of respect for others. If you consider this oppressive, then I think you sorely lack perspective and maturity.

 

Honestly, I don't consider it oppressive, nor do I care all that much. Just thought I'd throw in my controversial two cents. I just like the Wilde quote.

 

Its actuaslly been proven that if you dont wear a bara your breasts are not really more likely to sag, if you stay in shape, not wearing a bra will actually make them firmer, and also bras drastically increase the risk of breast cancer

 

Um...I wouldn't go topless even if I had the choice to. Men don't deserve to see unveiled breasts whenever they want to.

 

it doesn't matter how many breasts my husband has seen, he still practically jumps outta his skin with glee whenever he sees a new pair. if he sees a baby attached to the nipple, he just doesn't care. women going topless do so to be seen. might as well admit it. and i'm not buying for one second that braless boobs don't sag. show me where that was reliably proven.

 

....and no one will believe that until you show where that was proven...

 

eh i'll look up the report later

 

Surely the whole point is that you're living in one of the 13? Also being pedantic but why should it prove that the 13 were conditioned? The majority isn't always right.

That said, I don't really care too much either way. I do though find it distasteful when I'm near big fat topless man with their sweaty, hairy manboobs touching me (eg bus, train etc)

 

in new york woman are legally able to go topless where ever a man can, as long as they are not doing it for attention, its one thing to be going on like a normal person with no shirt on, and its another to be flaunting that your topless... i myself have taken advantage of this law, driving in cars , in the summer its gets really hot in a vehichle especially if you don't like air conditioning...

 

Hey, why don't we solve everyone's problems right now and make toplessness illegal for everyone. There. Do you agree with that, guys? Good. Or better yet, let's just make it illegal based on one's weight- have cops stop you on your porch on your own property on a 100 degree afternoon and check your licenses and everything, then you can feel really confident about your body! Better?

I'm being sarcastic of course. Not that I'm supporting all nudity of course (going bottomless would be unsanitary) but when it comes to breasts, there ain't much left to imagine anyway (especially at the beach) so why make a deal about covering some little circles. *cough!* Superbowl *cough!* Toplessness of males can also be argued as sexual. How many ripped and shaven young men have you seen in magazines, calendars, birthday cards, etc?

I think the US would be a better society if we all just had figure drawing class at least once. When you just stand there and draw different models over and over for technical purposes, nudity gets old and isn't a big deal.

 

Hell-fucking-yeah! Right On!!!!

 

There is nothing gross about a man or woman walking around without a shirt on. Just because some people think it is gross does not justify making a law requiring women to wear shirts. If people think it is gross then that their is their personal problem they need to deal with in their own way on their own time. You shouldnt put your problems on other people's shoulders just because you cant be mature enough to deal with them yourself.

It is not safe nor morally right to cover a baby's head while they are breastfeeding, there is no reason to do it. If other people do not like to see it then that is their problem and they shouldnt be projecting their prejudices onto other people. They need to be mature and grow up and learn to deal with their problems themselves in an adult manner and not whine about it needlessly like some child.

Why do you think being topless is disrespectful? You would not be showing a lack of respect to anyone if you were topless. If other people feel disrespected by you being topless that is their problem and you should not have to stress yourself needlessly by worrying about it. Thats something they need to deal with.

Most feminists would probably want both male/female to both wear shirts.

That is still no reason for women not to be able to go topless. Sure we are different but we should respect and praise those differences not look down on people for them. If males cannot control their hormones then its their duty to learn how to keep their hormones in check, its not the duty of a woman to keep her top on just so a male is not required to learn how to do this.

Saggy breasts are quite natural, just not that common because so many people try to hide the saggyness of them. Not likeing saggy breasts is no reason for women not to have the right to go topless. Going topless is not reserved for only the attractive people in society, that would be wrong. If you dont like what you see, deal with it or just dont look at it, but dont impose your personal feelings on other people just because you dont like what you see.

That doesnt mean you just give into people every time they dont like something just for the sake of not taking the risk that youll offend them. Some things people just need to learn to accept even if they dont necessarily agree with it or like seeing it.

Would you deny other woman that same opportunity to chose weither to go topless or not though? Women going topless is not about men seeing them without shirts on so weither men deserve to see topless women whenever they want or not is irrelevant. Its about women having the freedom to chose to be comfortable when and where they want without being harassed or oppressed. Its your choice if you want to wear a shirt but please dont deny other women the choice to remove it if they so chose.

That sounds like something your husband needs to deal with, not the topless women who he sees.

Thats simply not true. Granted in some places *like strip clubs/topless bars* women go topless simply for people to see them, but everyday women out in public go topless simply because they chose to and its comfortable, they dont care if people see them or not and most would probably prefer that men dont stare at them for prolonged periods anymore than they have to.

Braless boobs do sag, but thats what they are supposed to do. Breasts are designed to sag, bras keep them from doing what theyre supposed to do and can actually cause them to sag more sooner than they normally would. Bras can also bring a higher risk of breast cancer.

 

I don't think either gender should go topless unless it's at a topless beach (we have a few here). I do not wanna see some 60 year old guy topless nor do I wanna see a 60 year old woman topless. Most place here you can't go into unless you have a shirt on and going shirtless here isn't as acceptable as it seems to be in other states, shich is odd.
