YOu really ought to visit this part of the world Doc... perfectly legal for women to walk about without a shirt here.
Mind you, since they won that case in court, I haven't seen one avail herself of that right.

Didn't you read it's legal in my little neck of the woods as well? But, as one of my nurses said, there's an "inverse nudity law". The less likely you would want to see them naked, the more likely they will be. |

I think most people here would actually say there isn't much compelling reason for the state to regulate public nudity, but yet they specifically ruled on this in the 90s. |
"In New York City, it's completely legal for women to bare their breasts in public thanks to a 1992 court decision to reverse laws punishing female toplessness because they violated New York's equal protection clauses." |

Interesting. I came across it in the 1991 SCOTUS decision concerning a topless club in Indiana. Like most things in this country it appears to be a patchwork of conflicting and contradictory rulings. |

I'm surprised at the state of "topless law." I guess I hadn't kept abreast of the situation!

Yes, I thought it was quite ridiculous when different groups (funny enough, many of them religious) were crying out how this change in the laws would have women everywhere flaunting themselves. Oh, the children, how can we let this happen to them...etc, etc.
I remember looking at my wife and saying, "yeah, because it's only that pesky law that makes women keep their shirts on". I thought it was a such a stupid thing for anyone to think that most, or even any significant number of women would simply overcome years of cultural conditioning simply because a judge said it was OK. |

If you're going to keep milking this thread for humorous references, I guess I have to say that my first thought was of the old Bob Hope song "Thanks For The Mammaries" ... :-( |

If this thread is drying up, I hesitate to add this bit of information...
but still,
In Nice, France, along the drive (Promenade des Anglais) near the water's edge, there's a pretty beach.
Between the road and the beach, the ladies go topless. The other side of the drive? They cover up. |
