Jill Coccaro, 27, was arrested on a topless stroll two years ago, despite a 1992 state appeals court ruling that concluded women should have the same right as men to take off their shirts.



Woman Wins $29,000 for Topless Stroll


Wow.. just.. wow! flourisse/thumbsup.gif flourisse/celebrate.gif


I LOVE how this ruling played out in this case hehehe

I fully support that!

(on a second thought, some people should be dressed all the time)

EadwineRose- 06-18-2007
LOL yeah, that is true. If you search on her second name you can probably find a picture of her.

she's got balls! the thing i don't get is, how can she stand being stared at???
my skin crawls just when i go to wal-mart in shorts.

EadwineRose- 06-18-2007
You dare wearing shorts? Brrr, not me, I'd rather grab a skirt to cover the legs up a little. Does pear shape ring a bell? flourisse/laugh.gif

Hmm, haven't any of you gone to a beach? What's such a big deal... really.

EadwineRose- 06-18-2007
You're a man, you couldn't possibly understand... LOL!!

ravenranter- 06-18-2007
nah, i like to wear all kinds of things: shorts, dresses, skirts, sarongs. i usually wear shorts or pants because i have to be practical. i'll wear shorts until well into cool weather, with sweaters or sweatshirts; i don't get cold until around february! flourisse/laugh.gif
no matter what time of year, i don't appreciated being scoped out. it's disconcerting.

EadwineRose- 06-18-2007
Indeed it is. When you are you talking shorts, are you talking shorts as in short shorts, or are you talking the bermuda kind, just above the knee?


I don't much like getting singled out either, unless it is for something I particularly choose to.

Agreed this is a good thing.

Putting aside the whole moral angle, one thing I really am annoyed at is other people telling me what is moral or not, this is just common sense. We base today’s society on equity, too many people have fought hard to get the rights we have and one of them was the right of woman to be equal to men. To then argue that woman shouldn’t have the same rights as men is a step back.

People like us to weigh up morality vs equality way to much and I rather equality myself. At least everyone can agree on what is equal treatment, even if sometimes it falls through in practice, but I dare you to get a group of people in a room and get them to agree on what is morality.

mostly i prefer boardshorts, like these:

monkeybutts

i also like drawstring athletic shorts. i like my shorts short enough so that i get a good amount of sun on my legs, but long enough that when i bend over nothing is showing and if i am climbing or crawling, they can't be looked up too far.
my general rule is longer shorts for public consumption/large amounts of bending activities and shorter shorts for less active things. if my creepy neighbor comes out to leer over the railing of his deck, (yes, he actually does this. openly too.) i go inside and throw pants on, just to spite him. flourisse/tongue.gif

What if I wave my wang in public? I don't think this is about "morality"...

And if you're gonna wave, you better wave at folks lookin' ok. Us women want to measure and rate and all that. flourisse/science.gif

To people who wear monkeybutts, of course unsure.gif
