O know. I have seen men with bigger breasts than some women, and some women with smaller breast than me.


It is not against the law to go topless, if men are allowed to go topless....
SC has ruled that, right here in Texas.

It's only in the USA...other countries (Europe, anyway) don't really care! Both men AND women can be stimulated via breasts...so that can't be it!

I don't know. It's stupid.

People should be naked all the time except when it's cold outside. Also, the ugly ones can stay clothed.

I think within the next generation we will be ready in America to start talking about public nudity and what is acceptable. I think by 2050 we will at least have female shirtlessness legalized if not full nudity for both sexes.
Link? I have a few relatives who were born in the 20's and often went shirtless and shoeless. In fact back then 'skinny dipping' was very common in the summertime. You weren't supposed to be seen by the opposite sex doing this, but it was not uncommon for that rule to be accidentally broken. What could get you arrested and convicted as a 'sex offender' today was just an accepted part of life back then.

Why would any women want to show their boobs in public in front of other men, women and children?! Seriously people lost their morality, respect and no shame.

Our issues with nudity are completely a construct of our society. Morality has nothing to do with it. And public nudity happens all the time in gym locker rooms all over the country. No issues with respect or shame involved.

Doesn't matter. Gym is irrelevant.

How is a topless woman in public immoral?
