Why can't women go topless like men do?

56. It's legal in MY state, and I didn't even know it until five minutes ago

Thanks to Starry Messenger for sending me the info and a link.

I am betting good money that if a woman around topless around most towns here, all hell would break loose, and the cops would be called, and I bet the cops would either try to force the women to put a shirt on OR even cite her. I mean, women still get cites for BREASTFEEDING.

This link is about a year old, but is VERY interesting:

"In American, we seem to have come to terms with a more sectioned type of "Burqa" which even our most conservative americans are finding "decent". However, Taliban men would find outrageous the attire that conservative American women find decent and proper.

One can see that it is simply a matter of programming and upbringing. In Western Europe, after 40 years of women going topless on the beach, no one even looks at topless women sunbathing anymore.

Men are no longer any sexual obsession over their breasts because it has become a normal sight. It is difficult for many Americans to imagine this in our society but that is how the human brain works. Repression brings obsession. When the repression is gone, the obsession goes away too.

That is a good thing because repression can also beget violence and the most repressed society are indeed the most violent. So when Maitreya Rael founded GoTopless.org he had women's rights in mind but also the healing of a very troubled humanity.

Free your breasts, free your mind women and men of Asheville... for Humankind.
