No Exposed Breasts, No Peace!

The pseudo-feminist Left has found something else apparently more important than Islamic gender apartheid.

Editor’s Note: Work readers beware! Several links in this piece take one to sites with naked breasts. These have been labeled Not Safe For Work!

Feminists, bitterly clinging to their bitterness, are now trying to suck the life out of yet another thing: boobs. Not content to just let us suffer with the painful mental image of the bra burning days of yore, they are now going full-on topless in the name of “gender equality” and “normalizing” of women’s breasts — as if anyone finds them an oddity. It seems to me that people like breasts. Also, equality doesn’t mean what they think it means. Neither does “gender” either for that matter.

So these topless rallies, organized by gotopless.org (NSFW!), are striving to take the “stigma” out of the barbaric notion of, you know, wearing clothing. “I am woman hear me roar. And watch me sag!” or “No sagging ta-tas, no peace! Don’t oppress us with your fancy pants civilized — and clothed – society!”

As the pictures sadly indicate (NSFW!), now ruin-all-that-is-good feminists are even attempting to take the “fun” out of funbags. This does not suit. I mean, how can I maintain my Power of the Rack if racks are flopping about openly, all willy nilly? That’s the opposite of empowerment! For that alone, they must pay.

And what of the strippers — excuse me, exotic dancers? Who will think of the strippers?! If all women flit about topless, that devalues strippers and their, um, commodities. It’s not very “exotic” if one can see bazongas on every main street in America. That doesn’t even make sound economic sense, what with the staggering unemployment and all. By the way, feminists, isn’t that more of a pressing issue than the scourge of topless stigmatization? No? Silly me! That must be my “tool of the Patriarchy (TM)” talking.

Shanda Panda (no, really), a rally attendee, trusts men not to be enticed by openly displayed boobs (maybe she is only talking about hers, to be fair). “I have faith in men that they can control their responses to seeing a breast,” she said. Really? Yet feminists trust men with absolutely nothing else in the entire world. Ever. In perpetuity. Well, except for when their victimhood sisterhood needs to run to Big Daddy Government for some delusionally perceived wrong, of course. Her absurd statement falls flat (much like the breasts of hippie broads) by the rally itself and the reasons many attended (NSFW!).

The town centre was soon packed with onlookers cheering and taking photos as topless women, accompanied by men wearing bras or bikini tops, danced on the nearby fountain.

Gee, what do you think they were cheering and taking photos of? In New York, attendees were open about why they attended:

“This is unbelievable – and super,” said Dalvin Jan, 21, who rents bicycles for a living on Central Park South. “I’m going to tell my wife to join in.”

With Chaka Khan‘s “I’m Every Woman” blaring from speakers and chants of “free your breasts, free your mind,” the troupe of bare-breasted women — and their enthusiastic male supporters — paraded their way along Central Park South.

    Good article. Thanks for the Mammaries. :)

  2. 2. Adam Smith

    It seems to me the exact same argument the author made in this essay could be made to justify a social convention (or even a law) requiring women to wear burkas…

    Under current laws in most states, a woman is subject to being arrested for being topless in a public area (like a park), while a man is free to be take his shirt off in the same location (no matter how attractive or repulsive the man may be to bystanders).

    Why shouldn’t women also have freedom of choice in the matter? If anything, this will increase the social value of women who exercise modesty, in the same way that classy men have a greater perceived social value than men who are shameless.

    Why not deregulate harmless taboos like this, and let the “invisible hand” sort the gold from the dross?

    • lolly

      STOP IT!! Please! Just knock it off. People like you have absolutely RUINED this country!

      • Adam Smith

        You wrote: “People like you have absolutely RUINED this country!”.

        I haven’t the words to express how welcome it is to hear those words, even though your argument itself has no value because it’s hopelessly ad hominem.

        Please tell me, who are all of these people like me, and where do we have such incredible power?

        I’ve never met anybody quite like me before, and as far as I know I’ve never ruined any countries, despite lapsing several times into committing the mind-crime of not minding if I accidentally caused it to happen to certain belligerant countries, sort of like Inspector Clouseau…

        —————————————

        Commissioner Sir Charles Braithwaite: You must trust no one. The viper in our bosom could be anyone.

        Inspector Jacques Clouseau: And what makes you think I trust you?

        • Roger

          “Please tell me, who are all of these people like me, and where do we have such incredible power?”

          I can answer that. Those people are idiots and get such incredible power by being in really large numbers.

      • History lesson- The Minoan women had the freedom to show it off until their civilization was wiped out rather quickly before the plague spread.
        And perverted America will learn nothing from the fall of the Greeks and the Romans.

        It’s only a matter of time until PJ does a story on Chaz Bono’s hideous man boobs.

        • cass

          So minoan society was wiped out because women decided to be immodest? You are an ass.

      • Sharpshooter

        Actually, stupidity has ruined the country, whether from the nihilistic left, or from the superstitious right. Idiocy abounds when wrapped in collectivism, again, from the left or the right. We’re swamped by nannies on BOTH sides.

        • Avitar

          Good points Sharpshooter. This discussion will make very little or no difference to the country whatever is the current state of argument. In American Redneck terminology being naked is not a problem, being neked is the problem. I think Jeff Foxworthy could explain it better but being neked means you have no cloths and you are up to something.

          The Minoan women wore clothing that displayed their breasts for around a thousand years that we know of. It is not clear how long the Japanese women and men bathed together in public baths. History records a number of incidents of Japanese immigrant women getting into trouble for doing farm work topless as was the prewar practice in Japan.

          It just does not make a difference.

          • ‘It just does not make a difference.’

            When a culture is immersed in uncontrollable lust where the women are fearful to to take a walk it does make a difference.

            When the youngest most vulnerable ‘children’ in the same lust fed and bred culture are not safe and are kidnapped,raped,sexually abused,molested daily it does make a difference.
            Where even babies are sexually molested daily and in increasing number it does make a difference.

            Where sexual predators are teachers,politicians,mayors,and the jails can’t hold all of them and they roam free looking for their next vicitm’s it does make a difference.
            Can you say “END OF CIVILIZATION”
            Destruction comes, because that’s whats on the menu.

    • @Adam … Now you’ve done it … You’ve riled up the American Talibanistas! There’s nothing wrong with AmeriKa that a few more moral enforcers and some caning wouldn’t fix!

      “Under current laws in most states, a woman is subject to being arrested for being topless in a public area (like a park), while a man is free to be take his shirt off in the same location (no matter how attractive or repulsive the man may be to bystanders).”

      My chest is not a sexual thing. I’ve been punched, kicked, bit, kissed, and scratched and it has shown itself over and over to not be sexual in any form.

      Female breasts have two “roles” and all are centered around procreation.
      Beyond that there is no logical purpose for it.

      “Why shouldn’t women also have freedom of choice in the matter? If anything, this will increase the social value of women who exercise modesty, in the same way that classy men have a greater perceived social value than men who are shameless.”

      Are you smoking something? This society shames modesty more often than the feminazis shame promiscuity.

      Increasing the social value will equal raising the modest from amoebas to slugs.

      Beyond that there is no purpose in having that choice. None at all.

      “Why not deregulate harmless taboos like this, and let the “invisible hand” sort the gold from the dross?”

      Why should we deregulate? What purpose is in it? What harm is being caused with the regulation in place?

      “Please tell me, who are all of these people like me, and where do we have such incredible power?”

      People like you = those who seek “normalize” public sexuality under the frankly stupid guise of equality.

      The feminazis beat you to it.

    • Blackgriffin

      I agree with you completely.

    • RobertMN

      Harmless? Dewwwd, sex is a powerful force, right up there with self-preservation. That’s why societies throughout human history have developed codes to contain it. Left untethered, it can become ruinous. And here you are, with child-like ignorance, asking: “What’s the big deal?” Wake up.

    • leciat

      well gee adam why don’t all of us just run around naked then we can all be equal on everything….yeah?

    • Jen M.

      My yardstick is that sexism is no more defensible than racism. If we, as a society, had a distinct wardrobe requirement depending solely upon the wearer’s race, would ANYONE say that is OK? Bare breasts are not a threat to children or society. Only arguments based in emotion, sexism and prejudice (rather than facts) find otherwise.

  3. 3. Suthenboy

    “It seems to me that people like breasts.”

    Yep. I like ‘em.

    For me, the most attractive part of a woman is her face. I get a greater pleasure response by seeing a very attractive female face than from breasts. Mind you, this pleasure response is purely aesthetic. Appreciation for feminine beauty does not have to be sexual.
    On the aforementioned site, gotopless.org, the two polaroids asking allowed?/not allowed? ( I nearly died laughing) seem to be arguing that some things which are beautiful should be legally allowed to be seen in public because some things which are not beautiful are. They are shooting themselves in the foot with that. I dont think we want to set up aesthetic standards for what people, or parts of people, are publicly viewable.

    That being said, writing dress codes into law is silly. Tell me if I am wrong; the basis for dress code laws is the assumption that viewing certain parts of people incites a sexual response. People (men) cant be held responsible for their behavior after that sexual response is activated.
    Do I really have to list all the ways in which that is absurd? I believe that is the very same basis for the middle eastern dress codes that we, as Americans, despise.

    • Joe

      I believe all beauty works the sensuous/sexual parts of our brains. That’s the reality of being human.

      That said, I otherwise agree with you. I don’t care how nice a woman’s body or breasts are, if she doesn’t have a cute face, I’m not interested. Conversely, a cute face can make up for a lot, except implants.

    • Vader

      “Tell me if I am wrong; the basis for dress code laws is the assumption that viewing certain parts of people incites a sexual response. People (men) cant be held responsible for their behavior after that sexual response is activated.”

      Half right, half wrong.

      I experience a sexual response when I see naked breasts. It’s how I’m wired.

      But I can certainly be held responsible for any inappropriate action I take after being so aroused. So I don’t take any inappropriate action. I’m perfectly capable of controlling myself.

      But it’s uncomfortable to have that particular trigger pulled while the barrel is plugged, so to speak. When I’m out buying groceries, or walking my dog in the park, or playing Frisbee with my kids, I’m really not asking for that discomfort. So I’d just as soon leave the “social taboo” in place and let those compelled to exhibit themselves do so somewhere where onlookers can’t so plausibly say they weren’t asking for the discomfort.

      • RobertMN

        It’s how we’re all wired. No sh*t. I think it’s amazing how generation after generation after generation feels it necessary to go through this drill while ignoring the conclusions of the past that sex IS a big deal. But, hey, that’s what guys do, at least — anything to make it easier to have sex, which is our job.

        • Chris in California

          No it is NOT how you are wired. It’s how you’ve been programed by the society you live in.

          • Whit

            Chris, I believe you have the right answer. It is a moral question that varies around the world. We are trained to respond to certain stimuli while others are not. This covers a lot more than the subject under discussion.

          • M. Report

            You, and many others, wish that the human personality started out
            as a blank slate (Tabula Rasa) on which anything could be written
            by experience, allowing for the creation of a perfect society.

            The fact, long observed and preserved in custom, and recently
            demonstrated by scientific surveys of large groups worldwide,
            is that the hardwired responses go right down to the genetic
            level; Men respond to the hourglass shape of a healthy breeding
            female, women are aroused by the sight of the face of a dominant
            male, and both sexes of baby know that the food supply is marked
            by a Bullseye.

      • Cass

        no, you are NOT “wired” that way. If we were going around topless then breasts wouldn’t be considered sexual. Some men in the early 20th century were incited by seeing ankles. Now, would you consider any and every ANKLE sexual? Likely not.

        Since breasts have no sexual function having to do with men or reproduction, there is no reason to believe nature would put a sexual attraction to the breast. to the vagina, maybe, but not the boob.

        • you’re a boob!

        • Sparky

          Yet I think it safe to say that a whole generation was titillated (sorry) by the prospect of seeing the latest National Geographic with chesty African or South Seas women going about their lives topless….

        • Rik

          You don’t know crap. From the time you can get an erection you’re looking for stimulus, and it aint from the vee-jay. Men like breasts. Not all, but most. The Victoria Secret catalog, the JC Penny catalog, whatever we can find that has a half naked, decent looking female. Yes, a nice figure plays into it. It’s like saying women are only attracted to a penis. Wrong! They love sculpted pecks and chiseled abs as much as men love a nice pair of breasts. The vagina isn’t even that appealing to look it.

      • Sparky

        “But I can certainly be held responsible for any inappropriate action I take after being so aroused. So I don’t take any inappropriate action. I’m perfectly capable of controlling myself.”

        You’re obviously not a Muslim then, Vader.

        As far as I can tell, the part of Muslim culture that deals with how women should dress, is based on the notion that a beautiful woman – or perhaps ANY woman at all – is irresistible and men – or at least Muslim men – can NOT control themselves. Therefore, women are required to cover themselves to keep from inflaming men into giving into their sexual impulses. Muslim men find earlobes and hair at least as enticing as Western men find breasts so they insist on those elements of their women being covered whenever they aren’t in the house. And that’s the relatively moderate ones who still allow the women to show their faces. Apparently, the fundamentalist Muslims aren’t able to abide seeing even faces so they insist on burqas.

        It seems a very telling aspect of a culture to admit that their men believe they can’t control themselves when they see any part of a woman. In most cultures, men brag about their strength and bravery. In Muslim culture, men cry that they are too weak to control themselves if they see the body part of a female. Their insistence that women cover themselves up is effectively an admission that they are helpless to resist their own urges….

    • cass

      I agree. the law assumes that once a man is sexually aroused he cannot control himself.

      Such a man is the one whose actions should be banned by law, not the woman who “caused” those actions.

      Furthermore, any such man that cannot control his own sexuality should be locked in a psychiatric institution.

  4. 4. Russ

    Aren’t these the folks who are a front for the Raelians?

  5. 5. HTuttle

    If they’re the same as a man’s chest then why is random touching them a sex crime?

    • Dr. Duke

      Seems legit. Granted touching anyone with out their permission can be considered assault but if they are the same as a man’s there should be no sex crime.
      Hey if it is good for adults why stop there. Want to increase funding for girls sports? Topless high school basketball,volleyball and gymnastics.

    • Chris in California

      it’s only a sex crime because our society has programed us to view breasts as sexual objects along with the women who have them. If you look at the advertising and promotions using women and movies etc. you will see that women are exploited a lot. And because of our programing we don’t even recognize it as such.

    • cass

      Becuase the people who are touching them CONSIDER them to be a sexual part.

      such men would get in trouble if they fondled a woman’s knee as well.

  6. With no small amount of irony, the goal feminists seem to be after will serve to make most women who aren’t militant feminist nutjobs even more self conscious about their breasts and general appearance.

    At least the plastic surgeons will be happy.

    And virtually every heterosexual man on the planet.

    • RobertMN

      They just hate the fact that men and women are different, they hate “the arrangement” — that sex for each has different consequences. So they think they can undo millions of years of evolution with a series of marches. Is science taught in school anymore?

  7. 7. BCS

    Umm . . . I just looked at the website (GoTopless.org), and I’m not sure you can hang this one on the feminists. The official website credits “spiritual leader Rael” with starting the movement – isn’t that the same guy who established an alien worshipping cult? And offered to use his female followers as surrogate mothers in a human cloning scheme?

    • Jamie W.

      Also the same frickin’ lunatics who claimed to have actually cloned a human baby, but somehow couldn’t offer any scientific proof of their claim. Bunch of cultists preying on idiots, primarily using sex as bait. It’s one of the oldest cult-building tricks in the book.

  8. 8. lolly

    For some reason people think uncovering a woman is a stroke for equality. Why not just cover up the men? I can’t tell how gross it is to see sweaty, fat, hairy, pot-bellied oaks with huge man-boobs walking around.

    • Carn

      “For some reason people think uncovering a woman is a stroke for equality. Why not just cover up the men? I can’t tell how gross it is to see sweaty, fat, hairy, pot-bellied oaks with huge man-boobs walking around.”

      You’ll find that it’s the barrel-chested mooks with 6-packs and defined pecks that make up the majority of shirtless men.

      Society has for lack of a better word shamed the rest of us rollies (xD) into staying clothed most of the time.

      Or in other words those who have something to show off want to show it. How many mousy, introverted, flat-chested women like dressing in tight tanks, and jeans? Few because the same thing applies.

    • Sparky

      “I can’t tell how gross it is to see sweaty, fat, hairy, pot-bellied oaks with huge man-boobs walking around.”

      You’ve seen trees walking around topless? Oh my goodness! I hope you called a news crew. That’s something I’d like to see too!

  9. 9. DH

    I’m a man, and for comfort, I like to go shirtless when it’s hot out. I’m quite happy for women to have the same privilege without being subject to arrest.

    Having said that, this issue ranks about 267th on the priority list when it comes to getting government off our backs.

    • uh oh

      Don’t you mean “getting government off our racks”?

    • Jamie W.

      Dude, I am a woman blessed by the boob fairy, and I assure you, walking round topless would not reduce sweat without, er, manual assistance (and wouldn’t THAT get me stared at!) A good support bra and light, loose garments actually assist in keeping women like me cool.

      This “protest” was not about freeing women from the horror of shirts; it was about getting attention, and it succeeded.

  10. 10. Joe

    So why in the top video at gotopless.org are the women wearing bikini tops?

  11. 11. chambers

    As an almost painfully straight guy I yield to no one in my admiration for, well you know, the subject at issue here. At first glance I, and those millions of hopeless degenerates like me, should be rubbing our hands with childish glee and rushing out to purchase the best quality, CIA-grade binoculars, long-distance lenses and high-resolution cameras on the market. (Perhaps we could all chip in for our own surveillance satellite.)

    Yet for some reason when I was reading this piece I had a vision of feminist icon and all-round nut-job Bella Abzug baring her, er, “hidden asets” for all to see in some public venue like Central Park. When I got back from the bathroom it occurred to me that the last word on this subject has already been said by the great Drew Carey….”If you don’t have a good body then keep it the f___ covered up!”

  12. 12. vangrungy

    it’s legal to bare breasts in Ontario Canada..

    just saying..

  13. 13. Harry

    In the entire history of the world, no man has EVER said: “No, I’m not going to the strip club. Why should I pay to see professional exotic dancers when I can look at topless feminists for free?”

    To understand why no man would ever say this, simply place photos of a few randomly selected feminists side-by-side with photos of a few randomly selected exotic dancers . . . and look at them.

    There is more than one kind of equality. Where beauty, natural endowment, and sex appeal are concerned, all women are NOT equal . . . and they never will be.

  14. 14. Tex Expatriate

    Well, I am absolutely disgusted! I clicked on nearly all of those promised breastly references and only two of them–just two!–delivered with a shot of nice breasts. What kind of fraud are you perpetrating here, anyhow. I mean, you started your essay warning that we’d see some breasts, and not to look if we’d be offended. Two good pics of eight is absolutely disgusting. Dang you anyhow! If my inline subscription wasn’t free . . . I might cancel it.

  15. 15. A.M. Mallett

    So they make a big deal (or little show)about their breasts that are not supposed to be any different than men’s … er ok.

  16. 16. Henry Reardon

    You might be interested to know that it is, in effect, legal for women to go topless in public in Ontario, Canada, and has been for 15 years.

    This brief excerpt from Wikipedia – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topfreedom – tells the story.

    In 1991, Gwen Jacob was arrested for walking in a street in Guelph, Ontario while topless. She was acquitted in 1996 by the Ontario Court of Appeal on the basis that the act of being topless is not in itself a sexual act or indecent. Since then, the court ruling has been tested and upheld several times.

    No right to go topless has been enshrined in law but toplessness has been effectively legalized.

    Now, before you all start booking flights, I have yet to see a woman take advantage of this particular freedom in public. I keep hoping but, so far, no dice ;-) This seems to have been a symbolic victory for equality but not a right that most women actually want to exercise.

    I suspect that if American jurisdictions allow toplessness, the vast majority of women won’t take advantage of that right either. There may be a few exhibitionist types who do – like those at the infamous Spring Break party towns – but I expect that most women would just feel awkward and embarassed at the thought of exposing themselves that way.

    • Rik

      I guess Ontario called their buff..err bluff and they folded in the face of the bitter reality. Maybe it’s something to think about, but then, they’d start jumping up and down at the next big inequality fad.

  17. 17. waterwillows

    The problem with people who are upside-down is that they do not perceive that they are in this condition.
    The delusion seems to be real to them. Wrong is now right, fiction is now fact and only lollyipops and roses can be the consquence of any and all decisions.
    It is a muddy maddness on a grand scale.

  18. 18. Leroy Washington

    “Feminists…”

    As I remind my teen daughters, this terminology inverts the facts. These people are not “feminists”, they are misogynists. They value women only to the degree they have stopped being womanly and have begun to think and act like men.

    Misogynist Feminism.

  19. 19. Mina

    In some cultures female breasts are on display most of the time, and no one thinks any of it. Does this change anything important for the women? I don’t think so.

    Thankfully male bodies are up for lots more scrutiny than 20 years ago, which has brought us much sought after eye candy in popular media. This is maybe the great equalizer if there will ever be one.

  20. 20. Ali

    Thanks for this article! It’s always fun to see someone devaluing another person’s argument for equality by pointing out their unattractiveness.

    Oddly enough, the fat fella mowing his lawn with his shirt off the other day didn’t seem to care whether his breasts were attractive enough to expose. Thanks to the law, he has that right, but his fat wife doesn’t. All because she’s got a vag and he’s got a dick, even though their breasts are roughly the same size.

    Yep, that makes tons of sense.

    • RobertMN

      “Equality” my a ss. Here’s a science bulletin for y’all: Men and women are not equal. There’s a healthy reason for the arrangement. It works. But now, this “enlightened” generation wants to undo the lessons learned in the thousands of years of human history with their “what’s-the-big-deal?” attitude toward sex — and learn the hard way, as always.

      • Cass

        I’m sorry, hon, but men and woman ARE equal. Besides, what about societies in which everyone goes topless? That seems to work just fine.

        Did you know that 100 years ago, this same argument was made about exposing women’s ankles, because ankles were supposedly scandalous and sexual? But no one nowadays would think ankles were sexy.

        So think before you type.

        • doublegee

          Cass, after reading this thread, I’ve realized that you are entrapped within your own circle of specious logic.
          1) Most men have 40% more muscule mass than women
          2) In a fetus, gender can be discerned by brain structure before the sex organs diferntiate

          This alone causes enough differences to make life a lot more interesting for both sexes, unless one is determined to date whiny metrosexuals. Ah well, to each his (her) own.

  21. 21. BBC

    Economics historians have evidence correlating the length of the hem line to the degree of economic prosperity. The worse the economy, the shorter the skirt.

    These women are taking economic indicative fashion into new realms of desperation and condemnation of the economy.

    If Obama continues more of the same, these women will be wearing nothing at all.

    Perhaps, that IS the basis of his economic policy…..

    Silly-assed feminists!

    This is why we don’t take you serious. Millions unemployed. Economy in shambles. Government near default. Involved in 5 wars. (Excuse me, “Kinetic Military Actions”) Rapid erosion of our constitutional rights. And all you are worried about is whether you can show your sad, flappy, veiny breasts in public.

    You, dear stupid feminists, are why women weren’t allowed to vote for so long. There are real issues that society needs to address and guess what? Your pathetic, myopic little whines don’t make the list. Much like the “Slutwalks” that are making the rounds, all you accomplish is that you show how self-centered your life is. No one is laughing with you. We are all laughing AT you.

    What bothers me is that are real feminist issues which get ignored while crap like this makes the media. Millions of women raped in Africa as a standard part of their conflicts. Tens of thousands of them are being assaulted by UN Peacekeepers! The sex slavery trade is going strong in Eastern Europe. The Muslim culture teaching that women have no more rights than the family goat. Recently, there was a 14 year old girl who was raped by her cousin. The Muslim cure? She was ordered beaten to death.

    My advice to you feminists is either start working on real issues that affect women or get back in the kitchen and fix your man a sammich.

    This has got to be one of the dumbest, most porrly written posts I’ve ever seen at PM. Who wrote it really, a 15 year old boy? Sorry Lori, stick to home schooling.

    • Cass

      Actually, most homsechooled kids are smarter than public schoolers. I beat most of the public school students on the college entry exam, and I was homeschooled.

    Zombie posted a Berkeley rally from a few years ago. No I can’t imagine what kind of mindset conceived the idea that such imagery would be useful promoting any cause, no matter how insane. Hope they handed out the barf-bags at that rally. Not for the faint of heart. Be warned, this is feminism in America. But then there was a feminist professor who famously declared that Newton’s Principia Mathematica was a ‘rape manual’. What is it about feminism that attracts lunatics? Don’t any of them take their meds?

    I’ve been working overseas for most of my life. Vacations include going to the beach, and a lot of beaches around the world allow toplessness. Doesn’t mean that every woman – or even most women – go topless, but it’s there. Two observations:

    1) The “glamour” wears off pretty quickly;
    2) The ones that do, shouldn’t; the ones that should, don’t.

    Cheers.

    • Rik

      Having lived in a couple fo countries overseas myself, I can only say to the idea that those who shouldn’t do… Ain’t that the damn truth?

  26. Irony is that going around without the support of a bra will tear up your muscle tissue and MAKE your breasts sag!

    And if you insist on going braless, you can just forget participating in sports. (Owww!) Yeah, real empowering, that.

  27. Don’t get me wrong, the more exposure these ladies want, the more I love it. But I think we are being had.

    About 30 years ago one of the greatest protest hoaxes ever was perpetrated on the Washington press corps. A supposed modesty zealot dressed a cow up with an udder bra and paraded it in front of the White House — this to protest the display the exposure of certain animal body parts to young children. He called for legislation to require all sexually significant body parts to be covered. The press ate it up.

    But it was a spoof aimed at a gullible press. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Again we are being had.

    I ran into one these uber femme types one time than demanded she be able to show her sagging boobs in a hospital parking lot of all places, and no matter how hard I tried, my eyes kept reverting to her unshaven underarms.

    I don’t remember the boobs much besides their jelly like nature, but I’ll never forget the armpit locks.

    As my youngest daughter says, eeewwwww….

  29. 29. WhiteFalcon1

    Not a problem….females? You want to go around without a top on….fine by me….just dont even get all pissy when I look, ok? And if your in public, topless, you have kindly surrendered your right to privacy, so look for those ta-tas everywhere…and for you nasty, 9,000 pounders….PLEASE keep all of your clothes on!

  30. 30. M. Simon

    Why would women want to go topless?

    The competition for men is getting extreme.

  31. 31. macko

    I don’t know about the rest but, I’ve always enjoyed getting to see something you normally don’t to or aren’t supposed to get to see. Now of course a truly impressive rack is always an enjoyment but even if a majority of women went topless that would still be a rarity due in part to the fact that those women know to only show them on special occasions and the fact that those women without wouldn’t be getting anywhere near the attention. We all know that doesn’t go over well.

    tried to attach a photo of the DC protest but I don’t know how.

  32. 32. Porkov

    Let’s hear it for Mom, the flag & apple pie. And like the flag, proper display of the breasts is vital. Let’s show a little reverence and respect here, people!

  33. 33. Sharpshooter

    The “barbaric notion of wearing clothes” stemmed from the need for protection from the elements, and then later for adornment.

    Would sure be nice if rightists would learn some history and leave the assertions for the idiots on the left.

    • AF_Vet

      The “barbaric notion of wearing clothes” stemmed from the need for protection from the elements, and then later for adornment.

      So, we no longer need protection from the elements? Human beings no longer are at risk from sunburn, skin cancer, frotstbite or cold exposure?

      Would sure be nice if self-righteous dingbats would learn some science and biology.

  34. 34. Anonymous

    The world has become a sad place when boobs lose their attractiveness because they are attached to a liberal. Running for the ice pick.

  35. Thank you. I thank you and the girls thank you. They don’t come out much anymore as gravity and age have taken their toll but they appreciate all you’ve said today.

    Most of the women who attend these little gatherings are either:
    A. gay
    B. unattractive
    C. unblessed in the rack department
    D. struggling with the reality that no one wants to see them naked.

    I suggest that they form a club, and keep their nasty ta-ta’s to themselves.

  36. 36. Moira

    It’s great to see Lori writing for PJM. Yay! :)

  37. 37. cornflake73

    Let them take off the tops but this equality carries some baggage:
    1. till men get used to the idea (that could take a couple of generations) ogling, snickers, pointing,and comments on scoring the rack will have to be tolerated. Freedom comes at a price.
    2. Just because you want too doesn’t mean that everyone wants to see them, or want their children to see them. It just may alienate some when they see a baby hanging from one boob while eating DQ cone in the other.
    3. If you don’t like seeing fat men with their manboobs why would equality say we want to see fat women with theirs?
    4. If you want to ban the bra then ban all the other items like eyeliner, lipstick, eyelashes, boob enlargements, fancy hair doos, etc. all those enticements to attract male attention; or female attention sometimes. Us men we may be able to remove our shirts but we also grow a beard, get a buzz haircut, don’t wear a string up the backside on our jockeys (all though they are trying to get some to do that for equality sake!)We scratch ourselves in public does that mean you let the hair grow on your legs and scratch your self. we are talking equality here. Heck, I know guys who can blow their nose holding one side and not use a hankie. they put dip in their lip and pass gas on buses. So what is this facination with being equal? Be feminine and enjoy the diversity. celebrate your mystique instead of wanting to look like some jungle maiden.

    • Cass

      they are not fascinated with imitating disgusting “male” behaviors you listed; they think, rather, that they should not be frowned on or punished for acting such a way while a man wouldn’t be punished. It is about not wanting to be held to a higher standard.

  38. 38. Mark

    I was raised as a nudist. I admire the human body in all of its shape and sizes; however, there is one truth that, statistically, overwhelms the realm of nudity and toplessness. That truth being most of the people who frequent nude and topless arenas are people you don’t WANT to see naked or topless.

  39. 39. BarbaraS

    These so called feminists will strut around half naked and have “slut” walks, but God forbid they ever speak a word in defense of women and children in Islam.

  40. 40. MissAnthropy

    So, another gaggle of fembots are irritated that they can’t write as legibly in the snow as the Patriarchy…

    • Cass

      that’s a common misconception. females can often urinate standing up as well as, often better than men. It’s because they are not taught to practice as children that they seem “unable” to. Also because pants are designed to only fit men. If the holes were on the bottom, women would have an easier time, yet many men (whose penises are more in front of them than on bottom) would not be able to use them/

      furthermore, there are differences between some penises and other penises. Aren’t some penises too small, or covered with too much foreskin, to pee straight?

      You are an idiot.

      • MissAnthropy

        You’re really embittered by your lack of external genitalia, aren’t you?

  41. 41. Chris in California

    It wasn’t that long ago that seeing a well turned ankle was considered a sexual turn on in our country. All clothing mores are artificial, designed to control, to make money etc. Even in the bible the innocent were without clothing until they ate from the fruit of knowledge. So the bible could be used as a backup for the idea that cloths are evil.

    • ‘So the bible could be used as a backup for the idea that cloths are evil.’

      If human nature was not so evil and perverted that might fly.

      God killed the first living thing on earth to replaced the fig leaves the shamed
      Adam and Eve designed for day wear.
      Blood was shed to let them both know what their rebellion brought forth to planet earth ,namely death.
      The further away from God a culture gets the deader it gets.

      When a woman is seen as an object with sexual components to satisfy the uncontrollable urges of animals descended from animals as the religion of evolution teaches does not that debase the value of women in our culture ?
      When I hear the big lie that mankind is evolving I look around and see clearly that we are devolving into the worst unrestrained humanity has to offer.

    Titties sure stimulate a lot of silly tattle. Wheeeeeeee!

  43. 43. ho hum

    i’m an ass man

  44. I would suggest some people infiltrated the movement and suggest they organize some topless walk in Dearborn.

  45. 45. DianeCee

    I love a man who knows how to put a feminist in her place. Yet, when I was in college,,,waaaay back in the 70s, being a feminist was directly related to intellectual empowerment, career empowerment and self serving decision making empowerment. How did it become a group of tatooed, pieced and naked lesbian women?

    • Jamie W.

      Funny, that 70s version is exactly how strong conservative women see themselves. Only liberal feminists have gone all weird. Then again, once you deny to yourself the babymaking and baby-nurturing part of being a woman, what do you have left?

  46. Not content to just let us suffer with the painful mental image of the bra burning days of yore, they are now going full-on topless in the name of “gender equality” and “normalizing” of women’s breasts

    Feminists are the hopeless sock puppets of men without morals.

    And teenaged boys.

  47. 47. DDN

    This is just a further slide into immorality and where shall it end? I am convinced that there is nothing that shall be forbidden to a godless society whereby everyone does what is right in his own eyes. Acceptance of homosexuality opened the door, but to walk through is a very slippery slope. Everything shall now be turned upside down and it is now happening. Men lusts after children; women want to freely bare their breast. Hey – why should sex be confined to the bedroom? why not openly for all to see. Are there no constraints to people seeking their supposed freedoms? The answer is yes! God shall judge and those who take pleasure in unrighteousness have lost the truth. There is only one remedy – REPENT!

    • sinz54

      In other cultures (African, Polynesian), women have been walking around bare-breasted for millennia.

    • Jamie W.

      Troll, or needs more Prozac?

    Here I was all set for titillation and all we get is “Blah blah blah”. This was a very disappointing article in that the links WERE safe for work, dangitall!

    The teet is over rated–everyone has a couple.
    I was engaged to an exotic dancer while young.
    She liked to show it all– becoming less and
    less exciting as I viewed her more and more
    over exposed— the mystery of her womanhood
    faded to zero appeal. Real men know that
    if you turn um upside down they all look the
    same. Teets are over rated, over inflated
    and overly flaunted. Faminine mystery is an
    asset that far outweighs the titilating teet.
    Even the female leg, which I find thought pro-
    voking and stimulating, is overexposed daily;
    to the point of irrelevancy. Women appear very
    infatuated with their teets and exibitionalism
    to their detriment. Where has the mystery of the
    unexposed gone? As an expert on teets, legs and
    female appeal, I offer this advice: CYA, cover
    your assets.

    Everything seems like fun when you can do it in the warmth of summer.

    I challenge these feminists to go topless in the Northeast in the winter:

  51. 51. Martin Owens

    Does this amount to a separate-tits agenda?

  52. 52. Ozzy

    I blame this on the Blacks and their high illegitimacy rate. Total lifelong celibacy (Topless) for all of us is the only answer.

  53. 53. Suthenboy

    It is amazing how the simple sight of a breast, or even the thought of seeing them has so many here acting like children.
    If everyone walked around nude within two weeks we would stop noticing.
    The feminists are a bunch of boobs alright, but in this case they are right. Legislating dress codes is antithetical to a free society, and in this case more egregious because it discriminates based on gender.

    DDN at #47 – If a woman shows her breasts we are all going to hell? Really?

  54. 54. Cass

    “Shanda Panda (no, really), a rally attendee, trusts men not to be enticed by openly displayed boobs (maybe she is only talking about hers, to be fair).”

    Then how do you explain that Italy and France and Germany regularly let women go topless, yet they have had no such problem with “enticement”? German men dont’ seem to be any more sexually enticed than american men.

    Also, wasn’t this whole “enticement” the same argument used to justify not allowing women to show their ankles in the 1910s or around that old era? Or Muslim women’s FACES??

    Check your premises, bitch.

    • Look, sweetie, it it about culture. And our culture is better than woman-hating Islamic fundamentalist culture, which may be a hard thing to acknowledge if you are obsessed merely with leveling differences.

      Women in France and Germany don’t wander around offices and public streets with their breasts bared. There’s some nudity on beaches that we don’t see here. But there’s also far less intentional and intense body exposure in other settings. How do you explain that?

      Comparing any Western country to places where women are literally beaten with sticks on the streets for not demonstrating proper submissiveness is an intellectual sickness you need to contemplate.

      These activists are Raelians. They’re insane cultists. They also recommend that women put tape on their nipples in order to avoid being ticketed for technical nudity.

      Tape on their nipples. If you want to do something to create a better world for the ladies, go talk them out of that.

  55. 55. Whit

    Several things stand out here. Women are hard wired to be attractive while men are hard wired to be attracted. Does a woman want to attract every man that walks. I don’t think so. Attractiveness needs some control.

    Now the Lord made them male and female and the the man said bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh so we have compatibility.

    Yet Moses was instructed to reprove effeminate men and to teach against dressing in the same clothing. In other word he emphasized the difference rather than the the similarity of the sexes. The right hand and the left hand are similar but not equal. Both are part of the body and both are precious. Some things can be done easier with the left hand and others the right hand with some things we can do with one hand but not the other. That difference is also manifest between men and women.

    I am also aware that our advertising has had a lot of influence on our attitude toward breasts. Because of this I believe we need to try the spirits behind all of this from whence they are. Should we support that spirit?

    • Cass

      “women are hard wired to be attractive, while men attracted”

      Does this just mean “Men want to have the privilege to pursue, but not have the burden of being pursued?” I think it does.

    • Cass

      Women are hard wired to be attractive while men are hard wired to be attracted.”

      Is this just Bible language for “Men want the privilege to pursue, but not the burden of being pursued”?

      I see no biological reason for one sex to have to pursue the other.

  56. 56. Jason S

    Humans throughout history have instinctually covered their reproductive organs out of a sense of shame, which is one of the major things that separate us from animals. These people obviously have none.

    Also, as someone who knows people in the Asheville, NC “hippy” community, they are all spoiled rich white kids who take special care to make sure their clothes and hair are sufficiently dirty, that they listen to the right music, and that they toe the liberal line in lock step as they cruise around in the Volvo that mommy and daddy bought for them when they went off to college. Many would be common, homeless drug addicts without financial support from their parents. They are all posers.

    • Cass

      Why should I be ashamed of my body? It isn’t a dirty thing. It is very useful, it hasn’t done anything wrong.

      I hate all this bible crap.

      • brotherWiki

        Why you double standard?

        It’s not the Bible you should be trashing but tradition and religious views based on traditions of men.

        For example, Muslims would take off your head *literally* if your tried promoting your topless agenda in a country that based their laws on the Koran.

        If you want to pursue a really good cause then you should be posting your views on a Muslim blog. Good luck with that. lol

  57. Do not worry about seeing bare chested women on our streets. The porn industry will see to that and what a lot of women are wearing now their tits are all hanging out anyway. This will all so make it easy for the muslims to see who will be their sex slaves!

  58. 58. hoosiertoo

    I. L. B. T’s. Hell, I. L. Most All T’s.

    I’ve never been afeered of women’s bodies. It’s their minds that bedevil me.

  59. 59. SGT Ted

    The feminists are demanding that they be able to show off their tits and they don’t want any men looking at them or admiring them when they do. Because showing your breats is FREEDOM, but men looking at them and imagining a fun night in bed is HARRASSMENT by TEH PATRIARCHY.

    Oh and claiming that breasts serve no sexual function? Really? Thats a bald faced lie.

    These women need some sex education before they say such stupid things.

  60. 60. Tyler520

    Why is it that these types always look like hideous wildebeestes?

  61. 61. Jones

    it’s my experience that the kind of people willing to be naked in public are not the people you really want to see naked ever

  62. I’m the seond time to come pajamasmedia.com and just saying hello. I really like this great site.

    pajamasmedia.com alwasy has amazing idea. Great website.
