toplessness for women isn't appropriate in our public squares.

Using the same logic as those who support these misogynistic garments, banning toplessness for women is also bigoted. I mean, Aboriginal women for example are topless for cultural and religious reasons ergo they should be allowed to be topless.

But the public has spoken on what is going to be allowed or disallowed. And we all generally agree without a lot of craziness. The burqa and niqab are now facing their own scrutiny and debate on whether it will be allowed in western cultures.

It's disheartening actually that banning a strong matriarchal empowering "outfit" like toplessness is easily accepted but the cultural relativists will fight for a terribly misogynistic garment like the niqab or burqa. It's just another symbol of how deeply entrenched patriarchical/female oppression is ingrained in our psyches
