Go for it ! Women who are not allowed to show their faces are discriminated on the same way as women who are not allowed to show their breasts - I will repeat, ON THE SAME WAY !

Just because there is a law that says women can go topless, doesnt require them to. Maybe for some big breasted women, they rather have a top on in hot situations, some small chested women would rather be shirtless.

For some reason, the "purpose" female breast has been lost (it contains milk glands, surrounded by fatty tissue, with some enhanced nerve endings that cause a favorable sensation for the owner, better to encourage her to continue to provide nourishment to her child), in favor of some overhyped sex organ...
I really don't care whether my next door neighbor goes topless or not. I have enough control over myself not to immeadiatly leap over the fence and assault her on the spot, nor will Satan suddenly whisper into my ear that she must be "punished" for some crime...
Go for it!

Crerar, it's not how many avail themselves of the legality (most men wear shirts). It's the fact of _having_ the choice that matters. In the US, the burqa is a choice, in other countries it isn't.

McGehee, that would be equally acceptable. What's good for the goose...

In Onatrio it recently became legal for women to go topless. Unfortunately very few women take advantage of the rights we fought so hard to win for them.

I'll be happy to keep my shirt on in public, if that's what it takes.

Well, early on I got a lot of people upset by commenting that the burqa was a difference in degree, not in kind.

Or, in short, yes, such laws are discriminatory.

I guess I just don't see the point in going topless at a beach, unless you're a model worried about tan lines or a new mother trying to breastfeed. I mean, in the situations that drive men to take their shirts off, most women are more comfy in a bra anyway, and sports bras are looking more and more like mini-tops that people won't stare at one for wearing in public. I'm pretty socially liberal, but I have the same reaction to this that others I know of have to the marijuana-legalization issue: don't we have more pressing concerns? (In the case of marijuana, I can justify working for change, though I won't take the time and space to do so here.)
