I don't want to be "sippin my latte or eating dinner" and some fat *** walks down the street and I have to see it. I don't want to be eating my dinner on a nice outside table in the front of a restaurant and have people walking by smoking and I have to smell that, could ruin my appetite. Does that mean we should outlaw fat people and smokers in public because I find it distasteful and disgusting? Didn't think so.

I'll go out on a limb here and presume that the type of woman that would protest "gender equality" is most likely the type of woman that i'd probably not want to see topless.

I have visions of crunchy granola hempsters with frizzy hair and rainbow socks marching in this event.

(Although I concede i'd probably do a double-take if I stumbled across such an episode).

Why does everyone think its always about what you individuals want. I don't want a lot of things that happen anyway, but I don't get a say in it. This isn't about what one person wants, this is about a whole gender. No matter how anyone twists it in this thread it just always comes down to gender equality, and if you (not referring to you specifically AeroGuy, just who ever doesn't believe in gender equality.) don't believe in gender equality you are basically the definition of sexist.

This country needs more hooter-copping zoos.

Will security corral them into a Pawing Zone?

Anyone want to invest in a franchise?
Maybe if some people had a chance of seeing a boob now and then we wouldn't have to sit through drivel like this.

LOL...I support their right to protest. There's nothing problematic to me about it. I just have this pre-defined view of who will likely do the protesting and it doesn't fall under my definition of "gotta see/wanna see." If after this protest they achieve whatever "equality" it is that they feel is missing in society, then by all means thats a good thing for them.

Now guess how many are women, now how many women do you think responded to that forum post....you see what I'm getting at here.
That doesn't mean they don't contact men. You may find, upon trying to respond, that the profile is mysteriously deleted. Scammers exist on all sites--but you can report them to the site admin.

And?

Besides, my suggestion is equal. Both genders--keep your shirts on!

In YOUR country, do people wear ANY clothes?

Why should they?

People wear clothes for a REASON.
