Default Should women go shirtless?

I ask out of intelligence and curiosity and not because I want to see more breasts

In all honestly, it is taboo in Western Societies for females to walk around without their shirts off; they get arrested if it is not a political statement. I am not sure exactly where I stand on this issue, but I think it is very interesting.

A male on a hot day can walk down Main Street or work without his shirt on while females cannot. To me this seems hypocritically and a censorship of female rights. Females who bring up this point make a very strong argument.

There is a male “fascination” with the female form and particularly with breasts/mammary glands. While there are various scientific theories while females have protruding mammary glands; it is still uncertain why. It still baffles the scientists.

It baffles me that I can turn on National Geographic and see breasts, but there is uproar in this country when Janet Jackson’s costume malfunctions.

I hope you are joking and not being serious. This is not a motivation to see more breasts. Thats not a problem. I am being quite serious.

A woman will get arrested for going topless in public if it they are not protesting. If they are protesting, then it is covered under the 1st amendment right as freedom of speach. I am seriously asking from a FEMINIST perspective and out of curiousity.

I am very curious if it is solely a Western cultural predisposition that women cannot go topless. Don't you think the taboo of bare breast make just adds to male "fascination"?

This class of comments generally reflects the posturing those who find the topic (nudity, masturbation, oral sex, etc.) titillating.

I think by "out of intelligence" he was referring to the scientific studies that staring at breasts lowers blood pressure and improves health.

I once did hear about a European study that came up with that conclusion. I found that very interesting.

Thanks for only bringing judgement against me and nothing else to this topic.

It was just a little chit chat between Og and I. But you are, of course, absolutely correct. It is simply inane that society disallows naked female breasts and I have no doubt but that the women in this forum applaud your campaign to see them 'shirtless'.
