Do women deserve the right to go topless in public, like men?

www.Gotopless.org claims the constitutional right of women to go topless in public in the name of gender equality.

Rael, spiritual leader and founder of goTopless.org states: "as long as men can be topless, constitutionally women should have the same right, or men should also be forced to wear something hiding their chest."

It's just a factor of prudeness and culture's view of women and how we want to keep them beautiful but ladylike. But yes, more exposed tits; you have to take the bad with the good.

I think it's a little silly to equate male breasts to female breast as if they were the same thing. But I have no problem with chicks going topless. Legal here.

Goddamn feminists. Men and women are different; what's good for the gander isn't always appropriate for the goose.

It's not a constitutional right - the Supreme Court has already ruled it to be indecent and therefore not protected. Anyhoo....on the one hand, I do think women should be as free as they wish to show their boobs. On the other hand, some boobs should stay covered. Then again, I could say the same for men's bodies. I do think the fact that we are so prudish about such things is ridiculous and way behind the times. But I wonder if it's the higher-ups who remain prudish and not the people in general. When I look around, I see a lot of random body parts put out there as fashion statements, and the generation gap is only growing. It makes sense that the old white men in the government are the ones who think women need to remain ladies. I would be interested to see how perceptions change as those old white men move out, and more colorful individuals start making the decisions.
