Re: Should Women Be Allowed To Walk Around In Public, Topless?
Meg and Mups,
l wouldn’t dream of walking around topless. I am the shyest, biggest prude going!
I started the thread as a general subject, for discussion purposes. I was making a comparison, in an age where we are supposed to be equal and in a time when anything goes!
To me, it’s the ambiguity of it all...
You are walking through a town centre, and you see a woman sitting on a bench breastfeeding her baby. This lady is a bit of a militant breastfeeding mother. She shows the lot and hides nothing.
I would say, the majority of people would glance, maybe coo and say, ‘How beautiful, how wonderful, a mother feeding her baby’.
Yet, if this same woman was sitting on the bench on a roasting hot day and took her top off, she would be met with scorn and disgust. Maybe, even taken to the nearest police station to be reprimanded for her indecent behaviour!
As l’ve said before, it’s a funny old world!
