Going bare-breasted, woman makes statement about women's bodies
Philly.com ^ | 6/5/13 | Ronnie Polaneczky

WANTED TO WRITE something snarky about Moira Johnston because what she's doing kind of begs for snarkiness.

But after hanging with her in Rittenhouse Square - where her bare breasts caught the morning sun, elicited picture-taking and drew a blasting honk from a Roadway Express truck - Johnston won me over to her cause.

Which is this: Women should be allowed to go topless anywhere that men are allowed to.

Maybe it was the flowered pasties that covered Johnston's nipples. Or the glorious breeze. Or the guy who grinned at Johnston's chest and said, "God bless ya, babe!"

Mostly, though, it was Johnston's demeanor that made her exposed boobs seem like no big deal.

She wore paisley-patterned harem pants and flats, carried a big old shoulder bag and yoga mat and had the teeniest bit of pudge on her hips. With her no-fuss hair and big sunglasses, she came across as the cute girl next door, not the aggressive sexual tease that naysayers presume her toplessness telegraphs.

She really should be protesting about the effects of gravity.

You’re related to my husband aren’t you! And you’d better have some back up with that screen name! :)

I find it really curious how our society reacts to just a couple of square inches less of clothing.

You have no idea. Public nudity is allowed very near where I live. Not too near, thank God. But even the biggest liberals of Multnomah County will admit that most of the time it’s not something you want to see. Not given the examles.

Some people (including some of us old guys) should never go topless in public - disgusting is disgusting, period; badly out of shape is badly out of shape, period; ugly is ugly, period; male or female, makes no difference, the public should be “protected from narcissitic eyesores” at all times.

Biker parties, like forever.

Nothing unusual.

She’s behind the curve.

Let us hope that her “I am a liberated woman” antics do not yield the same results as this woman’s “I am a liberated woman” actions.

Anyone have a guess as to how many stalkers she has accumulated already?

Really? Does this call for a Helen Thomas picture?

A friend gave me a set of pasties as an anniversary joke. My had gold tassels.

The Hubs put them on one night as a joke.

With adhesive.

I think it hurt when I screamed and pulled them off....

Your post is so elegantly clear - it deserves to be framed and hung up.

Thank you. Addressing it to "Mom" was a bit psychologically disturbing, however. :o)
