Oglers surround protesters
Topless women on skates, bikes and foot drew a surging crowd of grateful gawkers in Columbus Circle yesterday when they doffed their shirts to affirm the right to bare a lot more than arms.
The 10 or so women gathered and showed nearly all to protest the arrest of Jill (Phoenix) Feeley, who said she was taken into custody this month after going half naked on the lower East Side.
But Feeley and friends soon found out that taking such a revealing stance in New York can be risky.
"It got hot, then it got rainy," said Feeley, 25.

"It got hot..."
I suppose men have a right to take their shirts off when it gets hot out, but I'd much rather everyone stayed dressed.

I don't understand this story.
I thought the militant feminists in the NY State Legislature had already put through a law guaranteeing women the right to go topless in public.

What is it with libs and public nudity??? They never miss an opportunity to disrobe in public.

No, actually, I believe that law was passed by the Judiciary. (Oh, wait, I thought they weren't supposed to pass laws.)
As long as there is no lewdness involved and the women aren't being paid (like to advertise a strip club), it's supposed to be legal. I don't know if the local pols ever got a law passed restricting it to the parks (for sunbathing).

The delightfully named Ms. Feeley was disappointed that none of her supporters (er, would that be lack-of-supporters?) received any beads for their effort. "I guess we should have held this protest in the Big Easy. It's a shame that all they have to show for their efforts are sunburned nipples," she was overheard to say.</parody>

I think that every urban 'gypsy' who lives in an RV powered by vegetable oil is already a bit 'top-free'.
