Go Topless Day

On Sunday Aug. 28, people in cities around the world stood up for women's right to go topless in public.  I guess they stood and giggled? But that's irrelevant. It seems that there are some women who think baring all is the key to equality. The ladies at GoTopless.org put it this way on their web site. "We are a U.S.-based organization founded in 2007 by spiritual leader Rael and we claim that women have the same constitutional right that men have to go bare-chested in public. As long as men are allowed to be topless in public, women should have the same constitutional right. Or else, men should have to wear something to hide their chests" Rael, founder of GoTopless.org and spiritual leader of the Raelian Movement (rael.org)
FREE YOUR BREASTS! FREE YOUR MIND!"

Wow! An un free breast is an un free mind. Who knew? I don't know this "spiritual leader, Rael (the leader of the Raelians, who in response to the arrest of Phoenix Feeley, a topless activist who was arrested for being topless in public in New York in 2005 decide to make uncovering boobs a public issue) but I sure wouldn't mind seeing her.....all of her. I wonder if I have bigger breasts than she? Anyway, the un free ladies held topless pride parades on the 28th of August. No word on whether they are more free now as a result. A boob map is shown below to show where they marched.  Most of the oppressed boobs are in the United States and Europe. But there are also boob marches in Asia and Africa.

Ok, I realize the cause is a bit frivolous. Anyone fighting for "the constitutional to right to go topless" must be pulling our legs. But even in an age of triviality, an age of what is real is fake and what is fake is real, perhaps those boob ladies might find a more meaningful and productive woman's rights cause.  Why, they could start with females in Muslim nations. Maybe the right to not wear a burka, to drive an automobile, so be seen as an equal.  But then giggling boobs is more fun that tackling real female oppression.

A question is why am I again writing about Go Topless Day? Uh, it might be a deep rooted psychological need, but it's probably because as a male I can't resist discussing boobs. Gee, I am so excited I am shaking my boobs. Aren't you sad not to see that sight?
