Let's just state things this way ...
at MY AGE ..
any woman who is a bit more 'endowed' ..
any woman who has children ..
there's a need for "support" ..
(and that's the truth ..)

REAL Ladies ..
do not show their 'wares' for general 'consumption' ..
they act like ladies and cover them up and shore them up ..
and wear properly fitted garments!

This would be a good place for the FBI to locate sexual predators wouldn't it!

Hey dude, the question was framed in a way that stated, going topless outdoors, like Venice beach...I'm just a mild standbyer with an opinion....That's a huge leap to being a predator...Take a chill pill and lighten up!!!

I personally don't want strangers seeing my breasts, but I still think it's ridiculous that woman are legally banned from showing our breasts. If it's an area (such as a beach) where men can be topless, why can't women? The only reason breasts are so taboo is because we as a society have made them a taboo. Breasts are designed for nursing children, not for sex (yes, I know that they can be erotic, but so can 99% of the human body, but we're still allowed to show our feet in public). Stop forcing religious ideals on a society that supposedly celebrates freedom of religion / separation of church & state.

If it's right for us guys, then it's right for you ladies...

I was hatched and raised in MA... men and women could not go into stores in nothing but a bathing suit... shirts, shoes and shorts minimum were required... I lived in TX for 8 years where in most stores and many other establishments, it was perfectly normal for guys and gals to go in in nothing but their bathing suits and in some, no shoes... so, it was nothing uncommon to see girls in Walmart in their skimpy bathing suits... Point? In MA, they're more uptight about such things...

In fairness, if it's okay for guys to go out in public with no shirt, then it should be fair for women to go out in public with no shirt...

Wow, woman are always going on about guys staring at their chests...How do they think this will affect that?! Keep em supported and go to a nudie beach or something if you want to get out the girls.

nicesteve 2012/08/20 22:36:23

It is clearly and obviously unreasonable and unfair to deny most women the right to be topless out in public. Most women are richly deserving and justly entitled to this right.
The religeous extreamists and also the nanny governments backing them up both have
a well known history of going to great lengths in order to suppress the rights of women,
legitimate nudists, legitimate gun enthuseists, and many many others. All of these very unconstitutional practices need to cease NOW, and never be allowed to commence again.

Link to nicesteve 2012/08/20 22:55:12

'most'? LOL

Yes, I realize that there are women whose "chestals" we may not want to see... but, while the law and many opinions are based on them being sexual body parts, the "bare" fact remains that they are intended for feeding a child...

So, if it is opened up to allow women the same rights as men, then it would all or none who would have that right... We can't segregate who does and who doesn't 'deserve' the 'entitlement'...

Well of course they should have the right (I did all day riding in the side car of a Harley at the Harley Rendezvous in upper state New York back in the day. My lily white boobies got burned pretty bad so I never had to repeat it again, LOL) There's a time and a place for that like with me ... that being said, LET IT ALL HANG OUT SISTAS!!

I can imagine it was. As a man who appreciates boobs, I hate to see them hurt or mishandled in any way. I don't remember any of my female friends ever having had the misfortune of getting sunburned boobs. I would have remembered something like that. Course I'd be more than happy to render assistance in the form of rubbing a soothing balm on them as often as needed. But that's just the kind of guy I am. You know, helpful. LOL!

Sure, if they they don't care about horny guys/lesbians looking, then why not? They'd still have the choice to have a top on. Everyone has nipples, women's are just larger and produce milk.

Breasts are no different be they a man's or a woman's, they are just breasts. It is time that we stop sexualizing everything and start seeing things for what they are meant to be. The female breast is a magnificent thing and is capable of doing so much why not let them be free for everyone to admire, this should be a personal thing and left up to the individual to decide if she wishes to bare her breasts in public.

Be careful what you wish for...some breasts are less "admirable" than others. lol
