War Room Longue V. 73: Royal Rumble

[Trotsky]

LOL in this country a woman can mow her lawn topless and the cops can't do shit. We hashed this dumb crap out over 20 years ago,
The court fight
"In 1991, Jacob was found guilty of one count of committing an indecent act and fined $75. During her court case, she argued that women's breasts are just fat tissue, not unlike men's.

But in his ruling, the judge said a woman's breast is "part of the female body that is sexually stimulating to men both by sight and touch," and should not be uncovered in public.

In 1996, the Ontario Court of Appeal overturned Jacob's conviction, saying "there was nothing degrading or dehumanizing in what the appellant did. The scope of her activity was limited and was entirely non-commercial. No one who was offended was forced to continue looking at her."

Moreover, the court ruled that Jacob did not exceed "the community standard of tolerance when all of the relevant circumstances are taken into account."

The court did not rule on the constitutionality of the issue, though Jacob's lawyer had argued that her client had the same constitutional right to go topless as men did."

It blows my mind how a guy (that judge) can think out and write out that reasoning - that women's breasts should be kept from public sight because they give men boners - and not realize how illogical it is. Like, I understand it as a more visceral reaction or impulse, but to actually lay it out in all of its naked (giggity) silliness and still stick by it is absurd.

So are beards and Adam's apples, yet I don't see people insisting men walk around in scarves.

Would you rather walk in on your dad topless or your mom when she's topless? Or are you equally fine with either scenario?

 

[JDragon]

I personally think women should absolutely be allowed to go topless if we allow men to do it.

Unfortunately, most of those who will exercise that right then will not be the ones I would want to do it.

 

[Quipling]

Women's breasts are a secondary sexual characteristic in a way men's breasts or a woman's jaw aren't.

This is an excellent point. Women should be banned from being topless if they have sexy breasts. If they're unsexy, it's cool.

I thought you guys had a lot of nude beaches?
We've got a few here, and they aren't great.

Yeah, never went to one of those. But this is more about '35 degrees in summer, I wanna get rid of this shirt in the city'.

If I was a girl? Probably my mom. As a boy? My father.

But, regardless, that simply follows from the preexisting social norms and taboos. In some countries, you'd rather walk in on your father sleeveless than your mother sleeveless. That doesn't mean requiring women cover their limbs is prudent.

St. Louis has an annual naked bike race.

It's about 65% fat old men, 15% fat old women, 15% young men, 5% young women.

I really don't see them as the same but if people insist on treating them equally then I say we don't allow men to go topless in public. That would at least have the added benefit of criminalizing Bert Kreischer's stand up.

Sure but I that doesn't bother me at all. We live in society that has norms and taboos and I don't think its wrong for some of our laws to reflect that.

Google Images seems to show that these folks are not actually naked?

It varies. I'd say a third are completely naked, with some wearing body paint. Of the people who are completely naked sans paint, the percentages shift to >99% fat old men, <1% other.

I want the police to keep ugly breasts locked up. This is a fine use of our taxes and the state monopoly on force.

I would rather walk in on his mom topless than his dad. Do I not represent the public interest in this scenario?

 

[Unknown Pleasures]

What a dufus Shapiro turned out to be.

 

[Ruprecht]

I definitely don't think a woman being topless in front of her stepkids in her home should make her a sex offender, regardless of what their mother thinks.
Sounds a bit Singaporean.

Wtf?
He's been cranking out pure shit for years.
Do you really want to see fifty year old Jay and Bob?

Yes. And I will pay hard earned cash for the right to do it.

The good new is, keeping up with the 5% of young women is easy, and you stay ahead of the old farts.

We've had free titty laws here for over a decade. Women went to war over it after some lady decided to go topless at a public pool and got charged. The law passed pretty easily but guess what happened, no women walking around topless, ever.

It's like that Simpsons episode where Lisa wanted to join the football team to prove a point, was accepted fully, and then quit the cause because there was no outrage.
