Free the nipple:should women be able to go topless in public

[Novorobo]

Guys. Unless you are super sexy, who would want to be topless anyway. (Male or female?)

Ever hear of this thing called "hot weather"?

Isn't bright-coloured clothing better for that if only for being less absorptive to sun rays than skin?

[Confederate Ramenia]

Surely some of us have better things to do than continue this back and forth silliness. I know I do.

Not you.

Being forced to see naked people when they do not want to can also be interpreted as sexual harassment.

Not really.

But hey, some people feel they have to go around doing so because 'freedoms'.

People purposely sexually harass others?
Then I have yet to see anything on this.

See folks, it all goes circular here

Heh heh heh heh heh

Those are the sounds of no.

And there's really nothing to be gained outside of what I've already laid out as selfishness on the parts of some, and 'because I want to'.

"I've already laid out"
No, no you haven't.

Would walking around with a billboard showing graphic porn be sexual harassment? Because that's what this is to some people, especially from cultures which place heavy value on modesty. In some places and cultures it should be legal, but not in others.

People in Saudi Arabia have. They are almost completely covered in clothes. In fact, Hot weather usually means you are more prone to sunburn, and nudity compounds that problem.

See my response below. Also, why do you keep talking about nudity?

No. For one, the sun doesn't have to be out for it to be hot.

But you are incorrect, my boy! Females in africa walk around bare chested and they do not develop sunburn! (Neither do males)
Do you know why? It's called melanin concentration in the skin. I have high amounts of it.

So what you are saying is... dark-skinned people can be nude, but light-skinned people need to cover up? Yes, seems reasonable.

(Actually, Africans can get sunburn. And I believe topless women are more common in sub-Saharan Africa, where the sunlight is slightly weaker.

Yes, specifically how white reflects all energy and light, and black absorbs all light and energy

Wrong. White does not reflect ALL energy and light. Those are called mirrors.

But it does reflect more.

Depends on the material. If it's too heavy and/or doesn't breathe well, nudity is far more preferential. After all, most clothing inhibits sweating.

Not the way I meant it, but if that's how you wanted to interpret it...

[Aethrys]

As a hetero male I support this proposition.

Nope, black people have magic skin powers. Must sacrifice for magics.

[Othelos]

Unnecessary restriction on personal freedom.

Who says it's unnecessary? And why?

Because going topless doesn't hurt anyone. I shouldn't have to make up for other people's issues.

[SaintB]

Then you clearly lack a sex drive. Not trying to be a jerk, just being honest.

No, I'm just not the sort of depraved person that goes, "Oooh, titties!"

My sex drive is plenty high, I assure you.

Agreed, I have a rather high sex drive but I can look neutrally at a pair of naked breasts without turning into some kind of sexual harassment machine. Context really matters...

Unless your drunk.

Unless his drunk what?

Unless your drunk.

[Dyakovo]

And who's drunk what?

Probably Iffy's drunk.
*nods*

[Talvezout]

No.

And goes for men too. Unless we can remove the stigma around it all.

[Dyakovo]

No.

The way to remove the stigma is to allow it, the stigma will eventually disappear.

Thats what she said.....

Along with the rule, which is pointless.
