Gender Equality is a big thing to some people in this country, but clearly not for you. If one person can do something everyone should, or would you rather see women go back to only being stay at home moms and the father are the only ones who go out and get jobs? What about women voting what is your stance on that?


So male reporters can do interviews in the female athlete's locker room?


You be sure to let me know when men have rights equal to those of women.

Classic!


So these females want to bust their **** out for all to see, but no one is allowed to comment on them because that would make them feel uncomfortable?

If people at the beach are made to feel uncomfortable, do they matter?

Are the onlookers supposed to ask permission to comment on or about the **** to make sure it is "wanted"?

What if a topless female appears to want me to comment on her ****, but becomes offended when I do, do we now go to **** court where I'm instructed to not comment on the **** again, or worse...told to respect her for her mind?

If they succeed in getting "the right" to take their tops off in public and my accuser shows up to **** court topless, will I be allowed to look, or is that an indication of guilt?



Why is everything a reasonable person might do "allowed" by the left?


A little common sense...if you make yourself a spectacle, people will spectate.

We can make up our own minds and choose according to our wishes without the help of men.

Do you get to do everything you choose to do because you have a vagina? Penis owners not allowed to weigh in on the issue?

In the privacy of your own home you may do whatever your little heart desires, but in public, where children are present along with persons having different standards of decency, you may not do what you please.

Meh,.. they'll get older and won't want to go topless any longer for fear of stepping on their own nips when they try to tie their shoes. (j/k)

I think maybe hubby Charles wanted to check out some new melons.

Kids don't give a **** if a woman walks around topless. Unless the kid is hungry.

And since people have different standards of decency it isn't up to one's standard to dictate to other people what they should do.

If that locker room is on private property it is up to the owner to decide that. If anyone doesn't like what the owner decides they may move else where (man or woman). Now because most owners probably would prohibit male reporters in female locker rooms and vise versa I don't think we have a problem here.

If it is uncomfortable and falls into the definition of what verbal harassment is then you have your answers. Why can't people just do this without be harassed? You condoning these behaviors against anyone (man or woman) if they don't want it? If its hot outside and I decide to take off my shirt (i'm a guy) and I begin getting heckled by the opposite sex to the point of where it becomes sexual harassment am I not allowed to speak up?

Common sense also people. Anyone who goes walking around topless knows they will get looks, but there is a difference between looks, and stares or fox calls.

Also why are you just going out on a limb and assuming I'm on the left? Stereotype much? For your information, I'm more independent than anything else.

You don't get to pick and choose what I wear.

Actually "penis owners" are the ones creating the issue. Women see that MEN have the right to walk around with there shirts off and women just want the same rights. Are you sexist? Do you believe women shouldn't be able to do what a man can do just because of the way she looks?

What if my standards of decency is different than yours? What if I think its inappropriate for men to be shirtless? You only care about yourself? Or is this still an issue of you being sexist?
