Why do people use “women in areas where going topless is legal don’t want to go topless” as a justification…?
Question by Run and Tell That.: Why do people use “women in areas where going topless is legal don’t want to go topless” as a justification…?
…for keeping it illegal in most places?
It’s not a matter of what women want to do vs. don’t want to do…it’s an issue of the government telling us that we aren’t allowed to do it. We can literally be arrested just for wanting to tan topless at the beach.
There are a lot of people who don’t WANT to smoke, but the government doesn’t tell them that they CAN’T unless they want to go to jail.
That’s the difference. I don’t know that I’d go topless if I could, but it would be nice if the government didn’t get the authority to tell me that my breasts are these forbidden fruits. Plus, we’re mostly good as long as just the nipple is hidden which is just stupid…when did female nipples become so special?
And before anybody throws out the erogenous zone argument, armpits are erogenous zones as well. Everyone cover your armpits!
I didn’t say I wouldn’t…I say I wasn’t sure if I would; male nipples become erect when sexually aroused too, so why shouldn’t men cover theirs as well?
The government doesn’t tell them they can’t do it in public period, though.
Yes, the armpits are an erogenous zone. It was mentioned on Dr. Oz not too long ago.
Know what else is sexualized? Male abs. Better hide those away before they distract us females!
Yes, in business places…not at the beach.
It’s not like women would be showing up to their desk jobs, grocery stores, and college courses topless if it were allowed..they’d be doing it where men are allowed to do the same.
It’s also not my fault that the mostly male-driven porn industry decided to sexualize breasts to the extent that they are sexualized now…women going topless is threatening to the entire sex industry because they can’t make money off of them if they’re available anywhere. I don’t appreciate money being made off of my body parts (not literally mine, but you get the idea)
Men who walk around on the beach with rock-solid abs and arm muscles aren’t being exhibitionists? That can screw with a girl’s sex drive too, believe it or not. (although we all know girls don’t like sex lolz)
Oh, I get it. It’s to protect the poor men from getting erections. Wouldn’t want that now. (that also doesn’t happen when a girl’s breasts are covered. ever.)
Mentioning one injustice doesn’t mean you don’t care about another, genius.
Dressing how I want is sexual harassment…here we go again. Just cover up your abs, and especially your arm muscles for me. Thanks.
exposing your breasts does not equal walking around naked. it equals exposing your chest. like men do all of the time. you people really need to learn the definition of the word “naked.”
This is the last thing I’ll say for now since I have to work, but we’re ALLOWED to show every part of our breast except the nipple…so the argument that breasts are a sign that the woman’s undergone puberty doesn’t really hold up. Plus, you can tell the girl has breasts through her clothing anyway.
I also remember plenty of men on here saying that women should just get over being cat-called and shouldn’t get so upset over being used for sex…it’s not like men care much on the whole about how we feel either.
Best answer:
Answer by The Lorax
If they aren’t special why wouldn’t you go topless then? They are just nipples.
And the government doesn’t tell them you can’t smoke, just the places you can’t. Just like showing boobies.
EDIT: The armpits an erogenous zone? Never been with anyone that thought that, but anyway the armpist haven’t been sexualized. No one gets armpit implants!
