Well, da-yum. As it turns out, women have the same rights as men in New York City to walk around topless. Very good, power to them. I've always rallied for more topless women walking around.
But, evidently, this is not the case everywhere. In most cities, women can still be arrested for walking around topless, even though men can do it. Why is that? Because we're a nation of prudes who can't understand that a woman's breasts aren't always sexual. I honestly think that we can tell when they're sex organs and when they're just modified sweat glands. Hell, men's nipples are three times more sensitive than women's, yet we can run around topless all we like (it should also be noted that obese men are also allowed to strut their stuff, even though their boobs might be bigger than a lot of womens').
At least casually, anyway. Women's rights to bear breasts is only protected by the First Amendment if they're protesting the fact that they can't bear breasts. So the only instance in which women can go topless is to protest the fact that they can't go topless. That kind of like picketing the fact that picketing is illegal. Stupidity!
Just let women bear their breasts in public, alright? Who knows, Pat Robertson might actually achieve an erection for once, and loosen up a bit.

Very funny.
Hee.
Are you from New York? Or at least the U.S.? Or are you from somewhere where the laws are different?
I have to say as a female that most of us don't care. There are a few of us whom would rather not be bare breasted in public but the majority of us would walk as men do on a hot summers day and be perfectly fine with it. Were the threat of being arrested not looming over us like Bush over a gay marriage of course.
@an old friend: My point exactly. There shouldn't be a restriction. It doesn't make any sense.
@Anonymous: I'm Canadian, but I like to call myself a pseudo-American. I follow American politics far more closely than Canadian politics. I believe that the Constitution is the closest document to perfection we've ever gotten, and I want to protect it.
