What's new

So you can walk in New York with no pants or underware....

in related fashion, you have to give these headline writers some credit for their word-play:

TOPLESS WOMAN ARRESTED IN SENSELESS BUST

Might be fun to be a fly on the wall when the Hollaback folks meet up with the GoTopless folks

Because of all the agreement in the room?

try harder...


from the GoTopless website...

We are a U.S.-based organization founded in 2007 by spiritual leader Rael and we claim that women have the same constitutional right that men have to go bare-chested in public.

"As long as men are allowed to be topless in public, women should have the same constitutional right. Or else, men should have to wear something to hide their chests" Rael, founder of GoTopless.org and spiritual leader of the Raelian Movement (rael.org)

FREE YOUR BREASTS! FREE YOUR MIND!

In the past, women often had to act like men when fighting for their rights, so they repressed their femininity. Today, GoTopless women see their femininity as a powerful asset as they struggle for equal rights in male-dominated society.

It seems rather contrary to Hollaback's mission to encourage women to objectify their femininity and use it in their struggle for equal rights.
 
and every time I see this thread title it reminds me of that song by Barenaked Ladies (ironic, huh) with the line "I just made you say 'underwear'"
 
It seems rather contrary to Hollaback's mission to encourage women to objectify their femininity and use it in their struggle for equal rights.

If women went around topless regularly, it would become ordinary, and if anything over time it would de-emphasize breats as a sex object. There's no inherent contradiction in the two missions.
 
LOVE that song and LOVE Janis Joplin but I don't quite get the connection to the topic...
unless it's the theme that a woman can be tough?

by the way, did you know the song was originally recorded by Aretha Franklin's sister?
