IS THIS THE MEASURE OF EQUALITY?: As it happens, a Ventura California female lawyer is attempting to make the case that the state is discriminating against women.
How so? Because topless sunbathing by women is a criminal misdemeanor - for men it is not.
Additionally Liana Johnsson is arguing against the inclusion of the "topless misdemeanor" in the list of offenses that gets one included on the Megan's List for sex offenders.
In an Orange County case last month a State Appeals Court ruled that anyone convicted of misdemeanor indecent exposure must be added to the list. Orange County public defenders are objecting because of the amount of resources it would require to track every woman who did in fact commit the misdemeanor.
Johnsson has lobbied over 400 members of the bar association at the October gathering trying to spread the word. To underscore her point she showed a two minute video of large breasted men.
The Governor of California - Arnold Schwarzenegger took the all-too-courageous position of declining any comment on the possibility of a state wide legal standard being changed. State law enforcement officials confirmed that there is already a series of beaches where some topless bathing is already "allowed" even though laws forbid it.
Let me say plainly that I think it would be irresponsible for women who get caught sunning with their ties untied to be equated with people in society who molest or rape vulnerable women and children. Adding the sunbathers to "Megan's List" in my opinion is a mistake. However - Johnsson is making a dreadful mistake - especially to her own cause.
It is painfully obvious to me that Ms. Johnsson has fully accepted and in fact become the advocate of the fullest feminist expression. Men and Women are not equal - they are the same.
Feminists don't desire to be treated equally , they wish to be completely interchangable. For women like Ms. Johnsson her greatest wish is not so much to be celebrated as a woman - so much as it is the allowance of all who she comes into contact with to be allowed to lure at her as though she is a sexual object.
And here you find feminism's great lie...in the name of being the same as man - allow women to be reduced to an object of sexual curiousity.
The question is - will Ms. Johnsson ever realize that she is in fact devaluing women instead of celebrating them?

Thanks for the mammaries.....
Or this one?
Ping to number 22 .... the only worse scenario would involve Helen Thomas.
"Yes, I'm serious."
Clearly kerry was into s&m (look at the shrew he puts up with) but this b&d ball gag is over the top!
Her name is Alizee, a singer from Europe.
I agree with her. This is discrimination. You guys put your tops on:')
You have to post a warning prior to posting a photo such as this. Things like this have been proven to cause siezures!
Being from California no one with a lick of sense lays in the Sun now a days especially because they have the most awesome Self Tanners out now. You can tan yourself including your bare breasts and have a nicer tan than the sun can give you.
Unsightly tan lines. An obvious case supporting the "for" side of the issue.
No, we need free range tans.
Did I ever tell you that you are a sick puppy?

Some guys really do need to start wearing the Bro.
The Bro - term for a bra like device that Frank Costanza (George's Dad) and Kramer come up with to help the heavier man deal with support issues for the chest area
there were no tan lines there.
But, this is the first European girl I have ever seen that has American t*ts.
Loreal Bronze Tanner is the best!
Smells great and looks great on!
