Well, no sorry fellas, but one of my favorite bloggers is talking about whether or not women have a right to go topless so just calm down boys.
I’ve been honoring the sacrifices our soldiers have made by exercising my right to free speech in debating at a political forum over whether or not women being banned from being able to go out in public topless is “unconstitutional” because it “discriminates” against women. The liberal argument goes something like this: Men are not banned from doing so, so why should women be? My response has been to repeatedly point out that it is not “discrimination” because men are required to cover up their, ahem, private parts in public, too. The response then is only one sex is allowed to bare their “breasts.” My response was to point out that men’s “breasts” were not a sexual part of their anatomy. And then there was an attempt at defining “sexual anatomy.” Sigh. It just went on and on.
I should point out – purely for the record – that not a single woman joined in the thread to argue the side that the (liberal and libertarian) males were arguing. Those males claimed their arguments were purely based on their concern that women were being “oppressed” – and one pointed to a couple of court cases (lower – state level) where the court agreed.
My take is very simple. It is like this. There is GOOD topless, and BAD topless. Halle Berry topless, YES! Rosie O’Dinell topless? NO!
