Women in Vancouver decided to do a topless march for gender equality. (from r/canada)

This isn't a "feminist" march per se. It was organized by GoTopless, which is supported by the Raelian Movement (a small religious movement that believes humans were created through alien biotechnology).

That said, the Raelians are very pro-sexual-pleasure.

Not only that, BUT the matter of toplessness is really a matter of equal treatment under the law. If men can be topless in public, why can't women? Shirtless men are just as erotic to women as shirtless women are to men, so there is no rational reason to treat male and female toplessness differently.

From a classical-liberal/individualist feminist perspective, GoTopless is supporting the worthy cause of the legal equality of the sexes.

And whilst I disagree with the Raelians, I support equal treatment under the law. Therefore, equal toplessness is a great thing.

Doesn't bother me. I totally support people wanting to be less puritanical with their bodies.

It would be nice though if breasts weren't seen as sexual objects. And it's really the female nipple that seems to get to people. As a breastfeeding woman, it would be quite nice if boobs were mostly thought of as feeders. I feel that a man should not be allowed to be topless if a woman is not allowed to be topless. Men can be ogled and objctified too. I do know men and women are different. But as a woman who had almost no breasts before having a baby, I see boobs as feeding impliments that others are uncomfortable around.

Women's rights activism is not relevant to this subreddit, nor is it covered under the "feminist" umbrella. Any woman can campaign for gender equality.

If women want to go topless that's fine with me.

Yet they want to censor Page 3.

"(Please be respectful)" = "Don't be too obvious about your brigading right after I commented in that thread."

Again? How many of these do they need to do?

I thought topless protests were for places that legally frown on women exposing their breasts in public. Canada has no laws about that under the criminal code.

holy crap, what a non-issue. attention whoring at it's finest. "we want to run around topless, that's why we run around topless".

Nomenimion · 2013-08-26T03:04:42+00:00

Did they expose themselves in front of children? Again?

Bums are also not primarily sexual body parts. I don't want mine to be seen in public, nor do I want to see others in public all the same.

That being said, just goes to show how divided the feminist cause is. They don't like "male gaze", but they want to give males more to look at. They don't like boobies on magazines or on page 3, but they want to make them common in public.

Get your house in order, feminism.

But if you look, it's rape.
