Women can not go topless because society has sexualized the woman's breast. They are not viewed as what they are intended for...breast feeding infants.

The only reason they don't have the right is because us men want to keep them boobs special to us. I mean, if we were to see boobs all day long (and everywhere) they wouldn't be as special to us which means they wouldn't be as sexy. That's the only reason.

I use to live in Miami.. and onthe Beach you would always see topless women walking about. I never had a problem with it, could be because I've done it myself...lol!!

Yes

I say this totally in an objective way and not as a male because i am basically a female within my soul and mind and heart! No! Not gay! Female yes! the answer would be yes! Why not? it again is where you are at! I went to the Spanish Riviera and 97% are topless and there is no males looking to rape or abuse women! It's an anglo thing I think, American so to speak! It's our backward thinking and our zealous twisted views of religion! It's a human body! Not a disease!

I think that if men can take their shirts off when the weather is hot, then women should be able to as well. People say that women can't do this because their breasts are sexual, but a man with a well sculpted chest can be very arousing as well. And technically female breasts aren't sex organs; they're intended to nurse babies, not a male's sex drive. So while I don't see why women have to cover up when men don't, there will have to be many changes in the way men perceive women before this can happen. Even if women were suddenly allowed to go topless, I wouldn't take advantage of the privilege immediately because men would go ape sh*t until they learned to get a grip.

Definitely!
Please!
:-)
But seriously, In Europe, where I live, toplessness isn't nearly as bit a things as in the US. You see lots of women - young and attractive as well as older and fatter - topless at public swimming places, sunbathing in parks, etc.
The US, though happy to give firearms to anyone, seems pathologically afraid of tits. So much so your recent Attorney General, Ashcroft had a dress make for a stone statue of Justice! :-)

sure if they want to become a feast for the eyes of men in some of the not so nicest ways possible.

No.
This is America where civilized people live.
This is not some jungle in another part of the world.
Besides, it would spoil the surprise of whats inside.
by jls on March 12th, 2009
Yeah, but why would they want too. I thought a true measure of a lady was to be more subdued and not wanting to be thought of as an object but an equal, and to stay dignified. Now if you wan't to take it off to do construction or mow, your lawn go-ahead, but you to express a point would seem not very feminate.

i have the right to do a lot of things but i don't necessarily desire to exercise all of my rights.
by AnonymousGirl on February 6th, 2008
Well, where I live, women DO have the right to be topless. HOWEVER, I don't think I have seen one woman walking around topless outside. I guess it's not worth the attention?
by Shaclick Click on March 14th, 2009
Well I suppose they should, men can do it without it being considered indecent exposure. However there are places that you are not aloud to go topless even if you are a male (really any public gathering where there is no water), so that should stay the same, but at say the beach or a lake to could be expectable.
by guitar_player2009 on March 14th, 2009
HELL YEAH!!! Anywhere.....anytime!!!!

! would agree.I'm from france, you see that all the time on the beach.
by 1858 Remington 1-21-13 on March 12th, 2009
Sure, topless and bottomless. :-)
by plaidman is a sanity bandit on February 6th, 2008
Yeah...but women should be prepared for the amount of stares they would receive...especially teen and young adult males.
by Deep Blue on February 6th, 2008
Women shouldn't be topless in some situations, just like men shouldn't be. How would you like to see your 60 year old grandma topless at the dinner table? It's common sense.
by haggis on December 26th, 2007
women should have the right to do as they damn please.
by ILoveLois on March 14th, 2009
Yes - why not, men do? This is discrimination in its most basic form.
by Shanel with an S on March 12th, 2009
sure, but that would cause too much distraction. lol
by Baba on March 14th, 2009
Sure they have the right to be topless.
But would they want to? all of the constant hustle they would have to indure from all of those Horny males.
by engineer is Terminator on March 14th, 2009
Yeah,don't they do inside the bedroom?
by Hypocrisy_Central on November 15th, 2009
Fact from fiction, truth from diction. It should but that is the secret hypocrisy. No naked boobs because that invoke too many sexual thoughts. But at the same time you can use sexual innuendo to fuel most TV shows and movies, it is the under current of most songs in any persuasion, and to sell just about anything from gum, to eyeglasses. Even the emprint of nipple under the clothes is enough to give people the willies. Many women are smaller in size than a lot of fat men with moobs but because it is suppose to spurn lust, keep ot under wraps, forget about giving those women who don't care to be topless be topless.
by john pennington on March 14th, 2009
2nd Answer.
Again, no.
Some men could not stand to see women bare-breasted.
Their sex drive could not tolerate it.
Rape and sex crimes would spiral.
Keep the girls covered.
by mtndewman44 on November 17th, 2009
Sure,if they want to be scrutinized all the time,more than they are already.
by MYTOES on November 17th, 2009
I think there will be a time when women do go topless. Women are more sexy with something covered than totally naked. On a beach or in the yard, yes. At the office or restaurant, no and at the dinner table, no. The same rules apply to men. Be tactful. Woman's bodies, by the most part, are a work of God's art. They are beautiful. Most men have a body that gets them around and can get the job done.Don't most women need the support? It seems being topless all the time would really weigh on them.
by The Extortionist on March 14th, 2009
Hell yes! All single women should have the right to be topless!

Have you ever "lol'd" at a woman wearing a "This is what a Feminist looks like" shirt because she fits the stereotype so well?

I feel like I'm always wearing the same thing, I always cover my legs. I don't have sexy legs or remove the hair

Would you allow your mate to walk nude on very busy street in your city all for the 'sake of art?'

It is not society that has sexualized breasts. Breasts are a sexual characteristic by which men naturally judge a woman's fertility. For better or worse, it is in our genes.
by Deep Blue on February 6th, 2008
How so? Breast size doesn't necessarily correlate with fertility. Otherwise, all women under a certain bra size would be able to skip the birth control.
by lonelydragon on March 14th, 2009
where did you get this thing about size from?
by Seraphim Shinobi on March 14th, 2009
I thought you were saying that men used breast size to judge fertility. I mean, all women have them, so what differences could be used to judge whether one woman is more fertile than another, except for her size? My apologies if I misunderstood DB's comment.
by lonelydragon on March 14th, 2009
No, I meant that breasts themselves are a secondary sexual characteristic which, over the eons, men have evolved to appreciate. One of the ways a man knows he's dealing with a woman of prime child-bearing is by the presence of breasts (and the perkier the breasts, the generally more fertile the woman - this has nothing to do with size). But the breasts do have to be large enough to be seen, or it's like they aren't even there.
