Thousands of people paraded shirt-free around the world Sunday to push for laws that would allow women to go topless in public; allowing women to go topless where ever men are allowed. What issues do you foresee if this is approved, And are you for or against it? Oh, and please be civil with your replies as I'm really curious as to what you think about this, thank you!

As far as I'm concerned, I would be against it due to the immature goobers who may see this as an opportunity to "take it a step further". I do understand why the challenge for equality, I just don't think this is one that should be pursued, as doing so will only appeal more to the predators... Also of note, there are some guys and gals out there that really just don't look... "aesthetically pleasing (?)" going topless...

If I can wring my shirt out in my lawn, my wife should have the same option. It's that simple.

Mammary glands are only sexual because we make them so. And honestly, they're sexual whether they're covered by a sweater in the winter, or nothing in the summer. I don't need someone else telling me what I can and cannot look at.

Anyone who has ever been to a topless beach for more than 15 minutes, quickly learns, they're just tits, and there are twice as many of them as there are women. They're not that big a deal once you get over seeing them for a few minutes. It's the fact that we don't get to see them whenever we want that makes this a big deal.

"But Aaron, if she's jogging, men will look and there will be an accident!"

"But Mohammed, if she's walking, and we can see her ankle... someone will get excited... and it will be chaos! Chaos!"

That's how silly that argument sounds to me. Yes, I'm taking the argument to the absolute absurd level, because it's an absurd argument. We live in an era of high speed internet. If someone wants to see breasts, they have access to all shapes and sizes at a click of a button. We can see them jiggle and bounce. It's not that big of a deal.

Unless there is an actual hygienic reason to keep them locked up like some sort of criminal, apply the rules equally across both sexes.

MSgt Curtis Ellis It's not, it's just I get verbose in my opinions. Going topless isn't a big deal. Just like private citizens having a gun on their hip isn't a big deal.

As an experiment though... Have two women walk down the street, one topless, and one with a gun on her hip... see which one gets stopped first. See which one catches more flak. Which one is "more dangerous?" Which one will offend the populace more?

People will lose their ever loving minds.

Very interesting concept, but until women's "tops" are not considered sexual, this isn't going to be accepted, nor should it be.

Just more idiotic PC agenda. BTW, when you get a little older, as a male, you try not to go topless. Unless you want to see heads turn real fast.

Topless may be a little too far, I'm all for going bra-less though. Those things are like restrictive torture devices.

My bad. As a male, I have no idea how women are affected by wearing a bra.

I can imagine that taking off your bra after a long day at work must feel as good as taking off our boots after we have been on our feet all day.
