Rights exist for all, adults and children. Years ago, it was determined in Ontario that there was nothing inherently indecent about a woman going topless.
Nobody's doing anything to prove a point. Nobody's whipping tops off prepubescent girls and saying "Hey! It's legal!" Like all good parents, we follow our children as they show us what they are comfortable with.
But if a girl wants to take her shirt off somewhere boys are also taking their shirts off, she is entitled to that. The only person trying to prove a point would be you, running around looking for a top, because you think your judgment of the situation is more valid than the judgment of the Canadian judicial system.
Just don't be too offended when we ignore your opinion. " |

yes, that is exactly my argument, women should not vote.
Sheesh. Talk about making mountains out of molehills.
How hard is it to understand my point that challenges to the judicial system and standing up for rights are fine, just don't do it using a half-naked child.
And for the record, not 'all good parents' let their children do whatever the hell they want, that's why children have parents, to guide them, to teach them and to make the hard decisions when kids lack the judgement and can't foresee the consequences of their actions.
And Nordberg - that is not how I read it at all - you are just looking for reasons to be offended and outraged.
