- LonesomeFighter, on 11/04/2007, -66/+578why? because the right to go around topless comes with registering for the draft. Paying the bill on dates. Giving up a seat on a full bus. opening doors. Carrying heavy bags. After the hard days work, i think we earned our right to not have a shirt on.
*i'm not saying i want females to keep shirts on at all times. some yes, some no. I know America, the ones that should keep shirts on won't, the ones who should take them off won't. - Threnody, on 10/12/2007, -15/+332Uh women have had the right to go topless in Ontario for a decade now. And you know what? Outside of gay pride I've yet to see anyone take advantage of it.
A lot of women would say they deserve the right, but I bet few of them would take advantage of that right. - CraigB12, on 11/04/2007, -39/+335If woman start going around topless all the time, more and more woman are going to have saggier and saggier boobs. Have you ever seen those tribal woman in national geographic? I for one, vote no, you can't go around with your ***** tops off.
- spoiled1, on 10/12/2007, -14/+282That would include your mom, your sister, your grandma, your neighbour's ugly wife, his fat daughter ......
- david76, on 10/12/2007, -10/+142It's not the bare breast that's naughty, it's the NIPPLE.
- Tawni, on 10/12/2007, -43/+1671. I would have registered for the draft if allowed.
2. I have paid for dinner many times
3. I give up my bus seat on a weekly basis
4. I always carry my own groceries and unpack them.
You will never catch me in public topless unless the 80 year old women start doing it first. Then I'll see how much you guys really want us topless. - GoneSouth, on 10/12/2007, -7/+82Ahh youthful exhuberence. You young gentlemen seem to forget, a significant portion of the population is not in the "perky 18 - 25 year old" demographic. Keeping tops on is for your own protection in many cases. Think "There's Something about Mary".
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -23/+98The only women who want to go topless in public are sexually adventurous college kids who still think it's cool to be anti-authority for its own sake, and unattractive feminists who don't shave their armpits or legs.
Everyone else, I'm sure, would be just a tad more shy than that. I don't know, I guess I'm just looking at this RATIONALLY... silly me. - slithy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+70"It shouldn't be a right, it should be law. Topless women everywhere, FTW ( 0 )( 0 )"
You have a large nipple fetish or what?...because I prefer ( . Y . ) - crazyspaceman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+69Honestly if I see a guy without a shirt on walking around I usually wonder WTF he's doing.
- lickmygiggle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+68There are A LOT of men who shouldn't go around without a shirt.
Hairy-manboobs? No, thank you. - tewas, on 10/12/2007, -7/+72Well breasts are not sexual organs, it's a glands that produce milk.
- thirdman, on 10/12/2007, -9/+57I'd probably say something like "What's that? It looks like a penis only smaller."
But then I'm cruel like that. - acdcfanbill, on 10/12/2007, -15/+61if you never speak out against something in your government do you still deserve the right to free speech? I would say yes. Do women deserve the right to be topless even if they choose not to? Yes.
- hexr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+42LOL, http://farm1.static.flickr.com/172/419444087_fe958adf2c.jpg?v=0 (NSFW)
I'm sorry, I just had to lol at that picture. That mom with the kid = priceless. - Calann, on 10/12/2007, -8/+49It's a known fact that breast size is directly correlated to intelligence. The bigger the woman's boobs are, the dumber guys get.
- macsimusprime, on 10/12/2007, -14/+51I'll not rest until every woman is freed from the tyranny of bras and shirts!
- sleepwalkers, on 10/12/2007, -7/+43That's alright if a majority of women aren't in the "perky 18-25" demographic. I'm at school most of the time, where that IS the majority of women.
- OverThere, on 10/12/2007, -7/+40I feel the same way about the sale of spandex. It either needs to be approved by an outside judge, or no sale.

- TubaTechno, on 10/12/2007, -14/+43Men and Women are not equal.

Sums up the whole debate, I think. - Dignin, on 10/12/2007, -4/+31Above links NSFW...
- sleepwalkers, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26The people upset about Janet Jackson were not a majority of middle America.
They were an insanely vocal minority, played up by the sensationalist media outlets. - jesirose, on 10/12/2007, -3/+27Just because men think boobs = sex doesn't make breasts sexual organs. They're glands and fat. They have nothing to do with sex, they're for around 9 months after the sex.
- foxymcfox, on 10/12/2007, -7/+30Honestly, I am fine with allowing any woman, of any age, of any body style, of any anything to go around without a shirt on. You may not want to see their body, but it is NOT a "dirty thing" nor is it indecent. You shouldn't have the right to make laws that restrict some people simply because their body doesn't suit your aesthetic needs.
Look there are many people out there that many other people would deem "ugly," but it's not as if we are all made to wear bags over our heads simply because other people don't fit some of our definition of beauty. - macsimusprime, on 10/12/2007, -6/+28That is why we are supporting topless WOMEN :)
- magacid, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23I can't believe these responses. You all need to get out more. I mean, yeah, women should be allowed to take their shirts off. Why? Because I can. But if you're scared of ugly people, then don't look. And don't get so damn excited about breasts. They're only breasts, you giant nerd. It's that kind of excitement that fuels the idea that people aren't equal, and keeps this cycle of inequality going. In conclusion: go get laid noob
- ophilye, on 10/12/2007, -34/+54I vote the opposite. I say we should definitely have equal rights... and men should NOT be allowed to be topless. No matter whether you're thin or fat, I do NOT want to see that much of your body.
I personally enjoy covering up & showing just enough cleavage to make it interesting... I also, with utter & complete conviction, enjoy opening doors for men, paying for friends at dinners, carrying the heavy bags, paying for most of the bills, and getting annoyed at listening to men gossip. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+25Let's hear you say that in Tampa FL, with all the retirees around.
I can just see it now. Some poor shmuck is driving along and all of a sudden five topless women between the ages of 60 and 150:
"AGH! My eyes! My brain! Make it stop!" * swerves into a telephone pole. - lousyhunter, on 10/12/2007, -8/+27Who knew sexism ran so deep on Digg... ;-)
Look, here's the lowdown. Women should have the right to go topless, but the masses of middle America couldn't handle it. Anyone remember the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction? Even in that case there was still coverage. Imagine topless tanning in the Deep South. Anybody ever see Deliverance? My point is that until the masses of middle America start acting like adults, we'll have to assume they can't handle anything remotely sexual in public settings. - Dignin, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22@IllegalCortex
Common courtesy. - R34C7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18There is no way to say this without sounding like a pedophile, but are there age limits on this!? If so, then would everyone in the area get arrested for child exploitation? If not, then are the rights truly equal?
- sh4rkb1t3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18I'm sure not being allowed to go topless in public compensates for the massive advantage women get in the family court system.
"For example, a Stanford study of 1,000 divorced couples selected at random found that divorcing mothers were awarded sole custody four times as often as divorcing fathers in contested custody cases. A study of all divorce-custody decrees in Arlington County, Virginia over an 18 month period found that no father was given sole or even joint custody unless the mother agreed to it. According to Frank Bishop, the former director of the Virginia Division of Child Support Enforcement, almost 95% of custody cases in Virginia were won by mothers." - mntbikeracer1, on 10/12/2007, -5/+22Wow I have seen Digg have some stupid ***** on the front page, but this? Wow.
- millman613, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19ontario is a province genius
- spargett, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18"YOU WILL NEVER SEE A WOMANS BREASTS!@#!@"
The kid prob has every bang bus episode queued at home while they spend a week in NY. - PiratePanties, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19Agreed. I think the comments on this thread are a prime example of why women, evn if they had the right to go topless, would say "oh, hell no."
We get enough oogling and sexist remarks with our shirts ON. Their are very few men on this planet that could deal with a topless women beyond the third-grade "BEWBS!" mentality that is so prevelant here on Digg. Think about it - why did this make it to the front page?
And frankly ,the "only the hot ones should be allowed to go topless" comments are also boring the hell outta me. There are a whole lot of men that aren't Mr. Universe going topless. Does it gross me out? No, because I have the maturity level to not to be offended by something that isn't what mainstream media tells us is "the atractive ideal". - xt0ph3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15"They have nothing to do with sex..."
You're not doing it right. - rekrapt, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19This is a bad idea. Where I live, they had a "bikini car wash" out on one of the main highways. They had to shut it down because men were rear-ending people left and right when they passed by. Just think how many men will wreck if there are ***** bouncing around all over the place
I've also discovered that most attractive women wouldn't do this anyway... so, most of what you'd see would be hairy-armpit, feminist types who you wouldn't want to look at their ***** in the first place.
Be careful what you wish for. - wstrucke, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17woman can be topless in public in Columbus, Ohio for the last decade or so. I learned of this when I asked a cop why he wasn't saying anything to the half naked women running around in front of a bunch of kids.
Don't get me wrong... I'm all for it -- though I would have preferred if the woman in question was under fifty... - Dignin, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black and white, Jews and gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual,
Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, boobies are free at
last! - sixdust, on 10/12/2007, -29/+41It shouldn't be a right, it should be law. Topless women everywhere, FTW ( 0 )( 0 )
- TubaTechno, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16what about hairy women boobs? yuck!
- MysticSavage, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16This is not a good thing...I mean, how many good looking nudists have you seen?
- Lax32, on 10/12/2007, -11/+22Only the hot ones.
- Degore, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14Topless girls would cause traffic accidents.
- tazx, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15@jesirose:
"One theory is based around the fact that, unlike nearly all other primates, human females do not display clear, physical signs of ovulation. This could have plausibly resulted in human males evolving to respond to more subtle signs of ovulation. During ovulation, the increased estrogen present in the female body results in a slight swelling of the breasts, which then males could have evolved to find attractive. In response, there would be evolutionary pressures that would favor females with more swollen breasts who would, in a manner of speaking, appear to males to be the most likely to be ovulating.
Some zoologists (notably Desmond Morris) believe that the shape of female breasts evolved as a frontal counterpart to that of the buttocks, the reason being that whilst other primates mate in the rear-entry position, humans are more likely to successfully copulate mating face on. A secondary sexual characteristic on a woman’s chest would have encouraged this in more primitive incarnations of the human race, and a face on encounter may have helped found a relationship between partners beyond merely a sexual one."
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breast
"But not female breasts. These have no physiological use whatsoever and biologists agree that their original function was sexual invitation. These sensitive, fleshy, delicate areas expand by one third during intercourse. The nipples harden at the slightest touch, and for most women fondling of their breasts stimulates their desire for intercourse. Perhaps the breasts mimic the fleshy, rounded buttocks that attracted males during rear-entry intercourse. Whatever the case, protohominid males liked them in yesteryear. Those with breasts had more young than those without. And gradually breasts became the norm."
- http://www.holysmoke.org/fem/fem0067.htm - Mexrocker, on 10/12/2007, -13/+23NYC let's women go around topless just as long is not some kind of advertisement. The downside to all of this is the public opinion of it.
If women go around topless, you have the tight ass people who deem it "sexually explicit" they would be considered every dirty thing in the book (whore, skank, slut etc.) IMHO Our American culture really frowns upon anything remotely sexual out in the real world. If people were a little more open minded we would have a little more freedom. Right now the biggest threat to little Timmy and little Jenny are terrorists, gays and sex.
Lighten up people, it's just the human body. Yes, person a may have features which may or may not appeal to you but may appeal to someone else, but please, we're only human. Let's enjoy ourself as much as possible... whether it means having the stunning body or the proud geek/digger body. -
