  • Honestly I agree. It is silly being topless in public for females is illegal - breasts aren't a sexual organ. They're for breastfeeding. This isn't all that radical of an idea, there are states in 'murica which allow being topless in public if you're female. Jeez Louise.

    • Breasts are indeed sexual organs. I fully understand their function in feeding babies, but you can't deny the sexuality of the female breast. Just by saying it isn't a sex organ doesn't mean that every man in the world is suddenly going to stop dreaming about them.

      • That's like saying a foot is a sexual organ because some people have a foot fetish.

        A sexual organ is not about whether or not people like it, it's about whether its function is actually for reproduction. Breasts are for caring for your offspring, not the act of producing that offspring itself.

        • I think virtually every man thinks of breasts sexually, and a very large percentage of women do, too.

          If you don't believe me, take your top off at a restaurant and see if anyone reacts.

          • I take it you've never been to Europe where topless beaches are the norm.

            • Then you take it wrong. I lived in Spain for many years and I've traveled all over Europe. Yes, there are tits on all the beaches. And I love it.

              This isn't Europe.

          • That doesn't matter - it's irrelevant. It does not fit the definition of what a sexual organ is, which I'll paste right now if you want.
            sex organ
            noun [C]
            › a part of the body involved in the production of babies

            And of course they're going to react because it's illegal here. Unusual. Not allowed. Also, who actually removes their clothes in doors anyway? That would be odd in itself - male or female.

            • ...and breasts are directly involved in nourishing those babies. I would consider that "involved", certainly much more than feet are.

              • Note the word "production". Production. Product. Making. Creating. Nourishing has zilch to do with any of that; they're already made when breastfeeding occurs. Boobs have no use in actually creating that baby.
