Women March Topless in Portland Without Incident (Upset That Men Looked At Them)

PORTLAND – About two dozen women marched topless from Longfellow Square to Tommy's Park this afternoon in an effort to erase what they see as a double standard on male and female nudity. click image to enlarge

A group of women and men who had shed their tops march down a Congress Street sidewalk from Longfellow Square to Tommy's Park. They were promoting the freedom of women to be topless in public. The group attracted many amateur and professional photographers.



The women, preceded and followed by several hundred boisterous and mostly male onlookers, many of them carrying cameras, stayed on the sidewalk because they hadn't obtained a demonstration permit to walk in the street. About a thousand people gathered as the march passed through Monument Square, a mix of demonstrators, supporters, onlookers and those just out enjoying a warm and sunny early-spring day.

After the marchers reached Tommy's Park in the Old Port, some turned around and walked back to Longfellow Square, but most stayed and mingled in the park. Some happily posed for pictures.

Yeah, so do I. It's the sobering up part the next morning that can be the real bummer. LOL

Well, winter’s just over, so those complexions are the result of tanning beds.

Unfortunately, these gals tend to put the plugs in backwards, which then sucks the melanin out of their skin.

Unless these were conservative women marching I would doubt very seriously if they were worth looking at.

Many men should not go around topless. I believe we have only two choices—everone wear a top or let the ladies who wiswh to doff their tops;

“Without having seen the photos, can I say that those protestors marching topless are those who physiques indicate they definitely should NOT be topless in public?”

Exactly! And why are the first Wisconsin men to shed their clothing on a warm Spring day the guys with the beer bellies, the hairy backs and the veiny, knocked-kneed ARCTIC WHITE legs? LOL!

Of course, they keep their black socks on with their sandals to be totally stylin’, LOL!

The tall one in the back looks not guilty from this angle.

Well, if they don’t want people to watch the commercials, they shouldn’t be advertising...

One concept that leftists always never get is after yelling “hey, look at me” that people might do it.

This is hilarious.

In certain parts of the world women are routinely topless and no one takes any notice of it (parts of Africa, parts of S. American, Borneo, etc).

Maybe McDowell should move to one of these places?
