Biology isn't really gender-neutral though.

I did not consent to see women's hair. Many culture would consider that indecent. Should we ban that to? What makes breasts more indecent than hair? If we cannot point to actual harm caused by certain actions, it is ridiculous to outlaw them.The Great Warrior Rivers wrote:Fartsniffage wrote:

No, we put them in pens just up the shore while the adults go sunbathe and drink cocktails....
What do you think?
Nah, that's a terrible reason. Just look away if it offends your pure vision.
Same argument with abortion is applied here. Consent to going to the beach is not consent to seeing naked people. This is why you have to agree to being over 18 before going on any adult content over the net. Because however you should have the choice, I should also have the choice not to see that. Me not wanting to see my family/friends/neighbors going around town naked is an actual argument.

Tonight I'll raise a glass in honour of their no-doubt totally selfless and utterly unselfish dedication to the cause of women's equality and the principle of gender neutrality within their local legal systems.

Eh. I'm a gay male who doesn't particularly like the sight of female breasts, and I'm supportive...

<sarcasm mode off>
And your support is just a little more convincingly selfless to me than the support of some of the people posting in this thread. As you rightly note, you're in little danger of confusing the issues of support for gender neutrality in laws regarding toplessness with a personal desire to see women's breasts.
A quick skim through the thread suggests that not all the heterosexual males posting in this thread are able to quite so fully separate the two to quite the same degree that NSG's gay male component can.

The female breast is a secondary sex characteristic, which means it's something that men are supposed to judge the quality of a potential mate by. Therefore, female nipples are part of a feature which is intended by nature itself (not by 'society', or 'conservative social norms', or 'the patriarchy') to be arousing to men. Women shouldn't walk around topless any more than men should walk around in thongs that their testicles are hanging out of.

In fact, I'm decidedly un-sexy, so I doubt my face is going to put flames into the hearts of women the world over.
