Berlin to let everyone go topless at public swimming pools
The Associated Press ^ | March 9, 2023

BERLIN (AP) — Women in Berlin will soon be allowed to go topless at the city’s public swimming pools, like men, the Berlin state government said Thursday.

The new bathing rules allowing everyone to go swimming without covering their torsos followed a discrimination complaint by a woman who was not allowed to go topless in a swimming pool in the capital.

The woman, whose identity was not revealed, had turned to the senate’s ombudsperson’s office for equal treatment to demand that women, like men, can swim topless, the Berlin senate for justice, diversity and anti-discrimination said in a written statement.

In reaction to the complaint and the ombudsman’s involvement in the case, the Berliner Baederbetriebe, which runs the city’s public pools, decided to change its clothing rules, the statement said.

“The ombudsperson’s office very much welcomes the decision of the Baederbetriebe, because it establishes equal rights for all Berliners, whether male, female or non-binary, and because it also creates legal certainty for the staff at the Baederbetriebe,” said Doris Liebscher, the head of the ombudsperson’s office.

Where do the tennis chicks and ice skaters swim? This is the kind of equal opportunity I support.

Does anyone still wonder why women were not allowed to vote before the misguided 19th amendment was passed?

When I watched as women moved into jobs and factories and corporations and the military in the 1970s and how lawsuits, and the government followed them in to uproot and takeover daily life at work, I realized that they were in effect, the eyes and ears and agents of the government and the left.

Seeing bare-breasted women at the local public pool is going to wreak havoc on life there and the way the government and the left use that havoc will lead to great changes in rules, regulations, and laws controlling males, and even rules regarding male presence over time, at a place that used to just be a public pool.

Most women’s boobs are not worth looking at they’re sloppy, hang down and nothing like models.

40 years ago, my soon-to-be wife and I arrived in Nice, France on a vacation tour. The fabled topless beaches? Ugh. What a bunch of whales with rawhide skin.

Sometimes achieving and viewing a little reward entails enduring a lot of challenge.
