What's up with women baring their breasts at concerts?

OP, I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you're looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money... but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you stop questioning the gloriously spontaneous display of boobies now, that will be the end of it - I will not look for you, I will not pursue you... but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you... and I will kill you.

Lawsuits in some states have resulted in rulings that if it's legal for men to go topless it's legal for women to do the same.

If both breasts and penises have sexual connotations, then either both should be banned from being flashed or none. Double standards are unjust.

Plus, flashing body parts that are meant to be covered up is just plain obscene.

We are slowly moving on from a society that considers the female breast as obscene.

Please move to your nearest red state, go to church, and give us 10 hail marys.

Common sense tells us that a penis, a vagina, male breasts and female breasts are not the same thing. Trying to draw a false equivalence to achieve some false sense of fairness is just silly.

This is the same reason human judges applying sound reasoning to reasonable laws are better than zero tolerance laws can ever be. Not perfect, mind you, but better.

But that just raises the question of who gets to say which body parts 'have sexual connotations'. So it doesn't really prove anything. You could equally well argue that its a double-standard that says female breasts have sexual connotations while male ones don't. Connotations are in the eye of the beholder. Who gets to do the connotating? (Hmmm, maybe that's not a word).

Genitals are directly involved in sex in a kind of essential way, so maybe that is a bit less arbitrary. But the chest area? Not sure how you can argue that's an objective thing.

Your second sentence is just ludicrously circular. Flashing body parts that are meant to be covered up may be obscene, but which body parts are meant to be covered up? That's the question at issue.

Exactly, and it's better to let voters, lawmakers and judges make that call than say all or nothing or it's unjust.

There is nothing obscene about a boobie.

You people obviously don't know the pain of having a sweaty rack. Gotta fan it off somehow.

I'm sure plenty of guys here do.

Men don't have breasts. Well maybe your girly girly guys, with earrings and studs and cologne, but not real guys. They (we) have pecs.

 

[nakedfrog]

Whats the difference from the tattoos on the band ?
Same retardedness.
My tat your tit.

Quoting for irony, because this post is quite retarded.

Quite.

Lots of sleepers here today. Men don't have breasts. Well maybe your girly girly guys, with earrings and studs and cologne, but not real guys. They (we) have pecs.

it was more meaningful back in the 60's when women were simultaneously exercising their rights and making a statement.

That's 50 or so years ago. I don't think they look so good today.
