Discussions

There has been a lot of discussion about how society allows men to expose boobs but not women. Perhaps the Ontario law should have reflected that body parts typically considered sexual should be covered in public.  
 
On a side note, although I have heard that Ontario law does not prohibit women from going topless, in the several times that I have been to Ontario, I have never seen one in Wal-mart or walking down the street or anywhere else for that matter. If it becomes mainstream for women to go topless in public, then their breasts will no longer be considered very sexual. No more sexual than legs or arms for example, which are commonly seen. I think that is one reason why pretty much all Ontario women prefer to keep the "girls" under wrap in public regardless of the law. Animals let it all hang out and make out in full view. But for them it is all about having babies and survival of their species. But for humans, sexual activity isn't just about making babies. For humans, it's primarily something special shared by two people, so it is meant to be private, as are their sexual body parts.

You know, women that are breastfeeding leak all over the place. There are pads made to be worn in a bra that soak up this excess milk and many breastfeeding women go through multiple pads a day. Do you really think it's okay for all that milk to be leaking on everything and everyone? Disease can be spread through breast milk. Sure not every breastfeeding mother would go topless if the law said they could, but some would. So for modesty and safety's sake I'd encourage women to keep that top on and show a little class. There are way more reasons for keeping the top on than there are for taking it off.

It's not cool to tell someone to cover up just because you get a sexy feeling when you see a pair of boobs. That's your mental problem, not theirs, and you are the one who has to deal with it. I suggest that you do so quietly.  
 
GreenDragon, I'm sure the women of Brandon appreciate the hygiene lesson. Not paternalistic at all.

@acidbasement: probably the best post I've ever read on this site.  
 
I hope the OP is trolling and just watching the best and brightest of Brandon come out to play.  
 

If a woman wants to go topless she should. The problem is you disapprove. Why should your opinion matter.

Where I came from. It's allowed to be topless on beaches.  
However, as long as I lived there, it seemed that the only woman that like to walk around topless are the ones were everyone around wishes she would better cover up. Just gives you a feeling she is topless on the beach because her husband refuses to look at her at home.  
Maybe coincidence. But I remember back being a teenage boy, talking about that with buddies.

That's because society had created a false image of what breasts look like. The women you saw baring their chests are the typical women. The women who have perfectly round and perky breasts are not typical, and often not even real, but that's what most men imagine most breasts look like. Instead, most breasts look like what you'd see in National Geographic.

Didn't "leak all over the place" ever. Never had to buy pads.

Why don't you show a little "class" and stop speaking as if you are an expert on women and their breasts. It's one thing to share your opinion, quite another to assume you have the right to speak on behalf of such a large and diverse part of the population. Not all of us women agree with your antiquated view of the world.

A man and woman are in a public place, such as on a beach or in a park, both topless. The man is lying on his back and the woman is cuddling up to him, her head on his chest and one hand resting on his breast. Is that sexual?  
 
Reverse the situation with the man cuddled into the woman, his head on her chest and one hand resting on her breast. Is that sexual?  
 
What about same sex couples doing this? Is that sexual?  
 
Talking about equality, most of us know that this isn't one of them and that there are definite double standards here.

acidbasement- extremely well said. NOBI- PLEASE consider that (most) women don't attend to topless beaches because their husbands don't want to look at their breasts (seriously?) or so that you and your buds can decide whether their bodies do or don't live up to what you think should or shouldn't be available for you to ogle, but more likely because it's a choice and a right they have and they feel comfortable with. do you really believe that a woman that doesn't even know you should give two hoots (pun totally intended) about whether you find her breasts appealing and cover up accordingly? if that were the way things worked, I would apply that same logic to some of the above opinions and ask they be kept under wraps... but alas that is NOT the way it works. people of all different mind sets have rights, just like people of all different body types. I don't have to like your opinion or post when I come across it on a public forum - but you still get to have it and reveal it wherever you see fit, see how that works?

seems like this is the same discussion that is happening over on the other thread, as for breasts leaking, there are many bodily fluids that spread diseases, saliva being one so should we all cover our mouths?

You're really stretching here. Your comment "  
Disease can be spread through breast milk." made me spit coffee all over my keyboard. Simple solution - don't latch on to strangers breasts!!! Casual contact with human breast milk is NOT a public health concern.  
 
anyone else get a mental picture of a breast feeding woman with a bra made of safety cones, a flashing light and a sign on her back that says:CAUTION STAY BACK XX FEET - SUDDEN ERUPTIONS MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO YOU HEALTH.
