Show Your Support For Topless Women
How come I didn't think about it before? In my previous post, Support Topless Women (SFW), I brought to your attention that some states in the US allow women to be topless and feed their babies in public without getting arrested. This seems strange when men can walk around topless, legally, while certainly their breasts do not serve for breastfeeding. I think women must have equal rights as men and given the choice whether or not they want to use this right.
It is a little known fact that during the 80s, there were a series of arrests made for breastfeeding in public, so much so that there is a lawyer who has devoted her career to making sure that breastfeeding women can get justice in court. Like I said before, we can change the law, but the cultural half of the equation is much more challenging to change.Nudity shouldn't be outlawed, especially on a gender discriminatory basis as it is when it comes to women's breasts. However, this idea will only be accepted when the sexual stigma can be separated from the true nature of female mammary glands. More information can be found at the Wikipedia page of this movement, TopFreedom (NSFW). That is the reason why I have created this series of banners to raise awareness among the Internet users.
Do you support topless women?
