There's a time and a place for baring breasts

Equality for women has gone too far with the new law allowing women to bare their breasts. Over several months now women have been seen baring their breasts on the job, walking down the street, strolling through the parks, etc.Centuries of women have bared their breasts when they felt the urge to welcome the rays of the sun or to go skinny dipping, but we didn't require a law because we had the sense to be descreet. There really is a time and appropriate place for such things.

In these troubled times of chaos and moral dilemmas it seems members of society do not want to be responsible for their own actions. I do not believe this law will benefit anyone except those seeking gratification from their exposure or those who seek them out for a quick thrill.

I have heard the arguments of both men and women saying that bare breasts ANYWHERE are acceptable because they are not considered sexual. This must be the most naive argument I have ever heard. This is why men and women willingly pay ridiculous amounts of money for a drink in a strip bar they wouldn't pay for anywhere else.

Are these same people willing to let their daughters go out on a date for the first time topless? It is her right now. It is the law.

Society has been duped once again by a select few into believing this behavior is totally normal, welcome, and unsexual. I do not think this law will ever be changed, however I do believe that common sense, grace and respect will prevail.

The human body is a wonderous and beautiful thinq, but our society as it is now is not capable of the behavior required to accept these changes. This is not a progressive move for women. It is an exhibitionist need for attention, because that is the result you will receive if you are incapable of using discretion. You will receive plenty of attention but no one will remember the color of your eyes.
