- Being Swedish myself, I can testify our politicians are admirable in the way they are experts of more or less everything.

“We believe that it can contribute to anorexia—there is a risk for that,” A novel defense, but how about those who have issues with their bodies simply stop swimming in public. If they insist on swimming in public, I didn't see anything that would prevent them from wearing a suit that covered their breasts.

I don't get it. "Allowing" topless does not "require" topless. So if a woman is uncomfortable with her breasts, she can wear a top.
What's the problem here? If the local culture allows topless pretty much every other bathing place, and they want this place to be special, they should get honest and just say that.
Sounds like a hidden agenda at work.

- They were indeed. All Swedish women are not beautiful.
There are feminists in all countries.

"Fresh blow for topless Swedish bathers" There's so much one could do with that headline, and all of it is wrong, wrong, wrong...

- I agree. However, being in the possession of a vivid imagination and creative verbal skills is nothing wrong per se.

Before a woman can bare her breasts in public, she (they) should have to be approved by a board composed of men.
At considerable personal sacrifice, I volunteer to serve on that board.

a group of women in southern Sweden established the Bara Bröst network I wonder if there are any dues? Or maybe, some type of hazing ritual to join? Hmmmmm..

I know, why not public nudity all the time? The few of us who find that to be a symptom of insanity can just avoid public pools.

- Swedish politicians aren't really that unique perhaps..
I wonder where in this world one can find politicians with a bit of a humble approach.
Venezuela?
Zimbabwe?
Not really. Even in Tibet, a part of the world often associated with spiritual maturity, political leaders believe they actually are “experts of more or less everything” - look at Dalai Lama :D

She emphasized that the ban only applies to the town’s one indoor pool and that, as of now there is nothing stopping women from going topless at any municipal outdoor pools.Hopefully not near any street intersections. Recipe for disaster.
