Naturalists, feminists and members of an atheistic UFO religion believe it’s only a matter of time until they win women across the country the right to go topless on public beaches and other places where men are allowed to bare their chests.
Courtroom and town council fights are underway to expand topless rights, but supporters are wary of pushback in New York, where discomfort about painted topless women posing in Times Square for tips has led state and city officials to consider nipping at hard-won progress in the bastion of top-freedom.
The Big Apple hubbub inspired some rally-goers Sunday who participated in the annual nationwide protest called Go Topless Day, ahead of Wednesday’s Women’s Equality Day, which marks the anniversary of females gaining the right to vote in the U.S.
“In the 1920s, it was indecent to show your legs. [If the women] had painted their legs in Times Square and men were taking pictures with them, there’d be the same controversy!” says GoTopless President Nadine Gary, whose group organized the Sunday demonstrations.
“If the chest of a man is decent, the chest of a woman has to be decent, too,” she says. “It’s a matter of equality.”
New York's state court system for decades has allowed women to go topless in public and other states allow it as well through omission or court ruling. In states like Illinois and California that don't ban bare breasts, however, some localities do.
A GoTopless activist currently is fighting in federal court against Chicago’s topless ban, arguing it's a constitutional right for women, and the group supports local council efforts to allow toplessness in Venice Beach, California.

Anything you can do, I can do better,
I can do anything better than you!
Okay, we won’t call them bimbos. Is it okay if we call them boobs?
No thanks! I’ll keep my top on!
Sounds fair to me.
Can’t tell you how much I appreciate that self-censored photo.
And then these same feminist types will bitch when men whip out cell phone cameras or even get aggressive and touch them.
That’s the problem, the women who want to go around showing their boobs are the women you DO NOT WANT to go around showing their boobs.
Exhibitionism is one of the array of disorders that correlates with narcissism. It’s no surprise that it’s an increasing presence, given our society’s encouragement of extreme self-absorption.
RE: Can’t tell you how much I appreciate that self-censored photo.
I am very much tempted to post the real topless march on Times Square, I’m just not sure if the mods will allow me to.
Women can be such a****.
I always look to FR to keep me abreast of the issues.
My second thought was musical....swing low...
Going tribal. Dalrymple discusses this. Many symptoms.

As my Japanese friend would say — “Breast your heart”
Sadly, those who wish to go naked are those who should never do so.

A group of wymen best suited for a burka.
Another day, another rung down on the ladder.
I don’t see anybody discussing the impact on children in all this either.
