Goodness gracious people!!! Men and women are different! THEY ARE DIFFERENT.....there, I said it. I know I will get plenty of hate for it...but it's the truth. You cannot change the FACT that men and women's bodies are different...they are NOT equal. I am sorry....
Dang you evolution.....why didn't you work with equality in mind!?!?
And your point is?
Women feed babies, just like all other mammals. Breasts actually have a function, and the fact that some find them attractive is irrelevant. Who cares? This really is an equality issue. Europe seems to be ahead of us in this understanding. Some parts of the Muslim world still forbid the female body to be uncovered because some men have a sexual response -- to arms and legs. Why should the male sexual response dictate the freedoms of women? Men, be responsible for yourselves, for your own responses and behavior, and quit blaming women for the thoughts within your own freakin' minds.

Shame on you and the other person playing partisan to make it a party issue when it isn't.
Shhhh. You're disrupting the groupthink. Doubleplusungood, report to room 101 immediately!
Also, to the OP (not GCharlotte) don't talk about a war on women when the side claiming the Republicans are "kooks" are attempting to limit women's self-defense choices, and whose President is funding an organization that conducts involuntary virginity tests.
The topless bill isn't even out of committee, so drive yourself on down there and make yourself heard if you disagree with it.

Not sure about Europe. Sure they have more topless beaches but generally topless say in public parks? I don't think that many. Maybe because of laws or maybe because no one pushed too far and therefore no reason for a law. Germany appears to be pretty liberal but I'm not sure of general walking about or holding rallies. We were more liberal once when Monty Python was shown on PBS affiliates. Let me dare take another approach. Maybe part of this is because there is a difference that makes it not an equality issue. Maybe the idea is to avoid spontaneous lactation which could be a health issue.

I think a main difference between a person like you and a person like me is really how we view things from the core. It's a fundamental difference...that I don't consider human beings on the same level as "all other mammals". There are MAJOR differences....very common sense differences between humans and animals...men and women...man breasts and woman breasts.
I find it extremely inaccurate to state that a man or a woman can change what he or she finds attractive. I've never said that just bc someone has a weird fetish or things a certain way...we should change the societal norm for them. There is a common understanding in society here in the United States that "private parts" includes women's breasts. If you don't like that a. Go to a nudist beach, or colony, or area. Or b. move to Europe if you love it there so much. Go to a society whose majority thinks as you...
Can you explain to me why you think this is an equality issue?
Side note: I don't agree with this being a "felony" charge...but I also really don't think it's going that far. I think people are just being extra dramafied
Did you ever hear of civil rights? Civil rights are not decided by the majority.
If they create a law and that law gets challenged in court on the basis of civil rights, then the judges decide. Not the majority.
I honestly think its rather pathetic that our government is spending time and money on this..and agree the situation doesn't deserve a "felony" charge,.but again don't think it's going through like that.
I really haven't seen or heard of it being a major issue anywhere to create this whole hoopla.....
The real question is why anyone finds it so compelling to even create this law.
It's not like women are stampeding topless everywhere.
