Why? Taking off your shirt doesn't even necessarily cool you down. In fact? Your clothes protect you from the sun's harmful rays better than sunscreen. Also, these comparisons are terribad. Who even brought up genitals? Or pants for that matter? Sounds like this argument is being fought with emotions rather than facts. |
Personally, I find it disgusting. Also, I'm sure none of you would want to see an old woman's breasts.
Woman's breast are sexually attractive to men (and lesbians as well) and I think it could possibly start something obscene in which those younger than 18 should not see. |

Some of that is due to the fact that different societies consider different body parts to be over-sexualised. You might be able to walk around topless but you can't show anything above your knee. |
as much as it would be epic to see that, i would say no cause it's like going through someones text's without asking =/

Obscene?
Are all of you serious? That's like saying lesbians/gays are abominations. I find that insulting, and besides, most of us were breast-feed, and no one considers that obscene. Also, I think I should say this: Anything taboo, people like. And don't tell me that I'm wrong. Gays were once a taboo, and now everyone(almost)likes them. The point is, since breasts are now a taboo, everyone immediatly wants them, like the last piece of steak. Last time I checked, woman still go topless in third world countries, and there's no problem over there. In fact, if woman were more inclined to go topless, we probably wouldn't see breasts as a taboo. Sure, some will prefer to still wear clothes, but overall I think there wouldn't be a problem in that scenario. That's it folks, I'm out of here. |

The thing is, people do consider lesbians/gays abominations. That isn't the issue here. I also don't see the connection between considering nudity to be obscene in public and lesbians/gays being considered obscene, but to each their own. Quote:

@poopnoodle The hidden nature of boobs is one thing. But eh people still find a guys chest attractive and its legal for that to be exposed. Boobs will still continue to turn people on. (that's a good thing) tbh I prefer them to wear a bra actually because I dont want to see your knockers sagging all over the place when you jog. |

The world doesn't have the same culture. It's all cultural. I really can't believe this is a topic. :| |

this is other chat. this is where we present our different views on certain topics. i cant believe a topic about something society would consider "risque" would take an other chat moderator by surprise. |
I think a lot of people here are assuming that everywhere they go, women are just gonna start appearing out of the wahoo without a shirt on. That is unlikely to be the case. I mean, I highly doubt you're going to see a topless woman shopping in Target or KMart. For men, there are places where it's fine to go without wearing a shirt, and it shouldn't be any different for women. But no matter what the persons gender is, if you're in, say, a restaurant, than of course she (or he) shouldn't be allowed to go topless. |
This is being take way too seriously. I bet if it was ruled that women could walk about naked in public not one person on here would actually do it. I don't see why we can't get on with our culture as it is. Honestly, you're not missing out on much.

Due to a certain someone dropping a boatload of stress on me I'm going to have to withdraw from this, though... http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/3757/lllplz.png All I can say is that if people start walking around naked (Or half naked. It makes no difference to me.) in public I will start using it as a excuse not to leave my house. Ever. (inb4 "LIFELESS") And anyone who had the gall to brag about their new right would probably get smacked. Also, this topic will probably be used by me in future debates to show how messed up things get when you pretend men and women are equal. |

i also agree with PkMnTrainer Yellow and Jolene's views. i havent read every single post, but... @ the idea that it's okay for women to be topless in Africa & how that relates to this topic: it's okay there because it's not rare. even if it were legal in [wherever you live], it'd still be quite rare. because it'd be a rare thing, people would not become used to it and start accepting it easily anyway, i don't see why girls would wanna go topless. if i was extremely hot, i'd rather keep on a bra or a bikini top anyway. also, even if it were legal, seeing a girl walk around topless would still result in some indecent (for lack of better words) reactions, and you can't change that. and it's not like breasts are gonna stop being sexual objects anytime soon basically, legalizing this would probably result in stronger negative reactions than positive ones |
So PkMnTrainer Yellow is contending men and women shouldn't be equal?
Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the term "equality" and "equal rights" and such, by treating two groups differently. |

...and the whole reason why it isn't rare is because it's a part of their culture. We can go all the way back to pre-colonization and assume that the first inhabitants included a bunch of topless women and decided to just keep it that way, but you can say that for everybody, religious or not. Some of the aforementioned African cultures include women that wear a large collection of beaded necklaces rather than a full-fledged shirt, while others have clothing that purposely leaves the breasts exposed. Also, for the record, the men in the same cultures are frequently nude as well. |
Quote:
Do not want Equality. Thank you very much. Women =/= Men and never should. That would be ignorant of the fact that the two genders are different and deserve to be treated as such. Notice this is not sexist, because no superior gender is stated, only different genders. This is realistic. |
Well if people want to go topless....let them go topless ._. Its pantless that's got me worried. Oh wait some males are already freely showing their boxers
Seriously though, it's all a matter of opinion. I, myself, wouldn't go outside topless. Self-consciousness to the max on my breasts even if they were made for breastfeeding babies. :< |

I would like to point out again that stranger rapes are rare. The wide majority of rapes are commited by someone the victim knows personally.
