Organizers with the cheekily named “Equalititty” and GoTopless groups walked about with a simple proposition: In 2024, there isn’t a particularly good reason to bar women from taking their shirts off entirely in the summer heat wherever men are allowed to do the same.
So there are lots of cultural and societal reasons that a woman won’t want to be topless in public. But it shouldn’t ALSO be a crime which is the point of this, right?
I completely agree with this. It shouldn’t be a crime. My concern is this becomes a monkeys paw or Pandora’s box. Legal vs normalization. Legal needs to come first but I cannot imagine how long we’re looking at things to get normalized.
