Federal Judge Rules It’s Unconstitutional To Forbid Women Going Topless In Public
http://thefederalist.com ^ | FEBRUARY 15, 2018 | Joy Overbeck

"The brave women of Fort Collins, who for years have been struggling against the cruel oppression of breasts imprisoned in clothing, were cheered when last February U.S. District Judge R. Brooke Jackson agreed with them. The law, said the judge, is based on gender discrimination, and violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of “the equal protection of the laws.”

Ping to more 14th amendment abuse.

And it follows, that the Constitution says we can all go naked.

Gender relates to language - words have a gender - masculine, feminine or neuter.

Sex relates to biology - Mammals have a sex - male or female.

I have come to detest the misuse of the two terms. When I have to fill out a form that asks for my "Gender" I cringe. I once actually stopped filling out job applications if the company asked for my gender rather than sex. I will not work for a company that doesn't know the difference.

I also am an ass and correct people if we are talking.

Our Constitution is silent on whether a woman can go topless or not. Therefore, since it is not expressly prohibited in the Constitution, it must be legal. Sorta like secession

Heh heh. My very first experience with topless in public was when I about 24 on a business trip to Sardinia. When checking into the hotel, the two most beautiful babes ever were topless at the pool. Only saw them one time, unfortunately.

Eight years later, my fiancé and I were on a trip through Europe and went to the beach in Nice, France, which was also topless. I am STILL trying to get those images bleached from my mind. The old cows on that beach weighed more than a real cow and had the tanned hide to go with their girth. I’m sure you could have made comfortable walking shoes out of their hides. Yikes!

Thanks for bringing back that repressed memory, OldSM!

What about the “cruel oppression of Mr. Wangdoodle imprisoned in clothing”? Poor guy is all scrunched up all day. He’s just yearning to breathe free.

Men demand equal treatment!

What’s going to happen when legions of smartphones are used to record photos and videos of said exposed breasts?

That has already happened. Awhile ago I did an Internet search for some info on Bikini Atoll and instead got pages of posted photos from nude beaches around the world.

I remember Dennis Miller once wondering what “tat” was and where to trade it for the other.

Our Constitution is silent on whether a woman can go topless or not.

It's covered in the umbrella of the Constitution's foundational law. (Natural law.)

Therefore, since it is not expressly prohibited in the Constitution, it must be legal.

Ridiculous argument. Murder isn't prohibited by the Constitution, and under no interpretation of a lawful system can Murder be legal.

Sorta like secession

Secession is a natural law right that comes from a higher authority than all man made laws.

I’m pretty sure that there is an explicit Contstitutional ban on those women over the age of 45 baring their breasts, with the first clause of that sentence mandating it for all women between 18 and 35, leaving it optional for those 35-44.

Yup. Sounds about right. I’m sure of it.
