Look: there is nothing that says any female HAS to go topless. No parent is going to let a prepubescent or adolescent daughter expose her self in the view of boys. No decent woman is going to go about topless, except possibly at a beach so designated. Only freaky femins who use it as a shock tactic are likely to be encouraged beyond what is current practIce.

On the other hand...human women’s breasts are exaggerated in size as a sexual attractant. It generally works that way in primates that mate front to front. Those that have colorful hindquarters mate from behind.

Male chests and female chests are not indistinguishable.

If this passes mustard I can see it now walking down the Newport Beach Boardwalk with the WIDE variety of women.

Certain women should be constitutionally prohibited.

We still have obscenity laws, at least outside of San Fagsicko.

Having seen many topless beaches in France and Italy, I can assure you that most women’s boobs are not that attractive. Seriously. Trust me.

“Look: there is nothing that says any female HAS to go topless.”

No, but this ruling could mean that many people, including children, are forced to tolerate being exposed to topless women. Do you think it is healthy for children and teenagers to be exposed to nudity, and they and their parents have no say?

“No parent is going to let a prepubescent or adolescent daughter expose her self in the view of boys.”

You are fooling yourself if you think it won’t happen.

You seem to forget that we live in a day in which a large percentage of the population have conceded that homosexuality and “transgenderism” are normal.

Parents could lose their children for opposing such indoctrination. Some states are trying to vilify and criminalize “conversion therapy.” There is propaganda to make it appear that all attempts to help children and teenagers to be normal by traditional standards, is torture and abuse.

Further, parents do not control their teenage “children.”

In order for civil society to continue to function it is necessary that we have reasonable standards of public behavior. And this means laws that prevent public indecency.

Children also need to be protected from being exposed to lascivious behavior.

I have to punt on this. Depending on which state, it could be considered, assault, battery, sexual assault, felony battery or felony sexual assault.

That is my interpretation. In a public place like a beach, all females, regardless of age, could be topless if they wished.

which are often overridden by men and their governments.

When those men and their governments act in an evil fashion.

There is weirdness out there for sure. I have twice encountered stark nekkid women strolling about, one in Stanton Park on Capitol Hill and the other walking along Benning Road near the RFK Stadium parking lots. The one in Stanton Park was young and actually quite attractive, but as I was escorting a passel of preschool kids, we did not dawdle to observe developments. The other was a walking basket case and the Men in Blue were already trying to get her to drape a blanket. I’ve never seen a naked man wandering around.Guess men have better judgment in such matters, based on an imposing sample size of two.
