    For those concerned (or hopeful) about vast hordes of topless Minnesota women roaming the streets: They made boobs legal in Ontario in the mid 90’s and I’ve NEVER seen any women go topless in public. I’m sure it happens, but it’s extremely rare. Heck, most guys still swim in t-shirts up here.

    The point of the law in Canada was to make a point that if men and women are to be equal, the law should reflect that. Of course in the US it’s about sex and not equality.

      The mosquitos alone are gong to keep them covered. As a man, I don’t go without a shirt when outside.

        Dude. Mosquitos are fucking assholes! I once went hiking in a tshirt and I walked by an area wiyh stagnant water and lots of mosquitos. Guess what was their preferred part to sting? I made a point to have full sleeves after that.

    This really needs to be normalized. Men can use desensitization to staring at boobs.

    Plus if its hot and you need relief, let the puppies breathe.

      Been to topless beaches, naked boobs honestly are less attractive to the eye then boobs in a bikini top.

      Sexual clothing ends up being like 80% of the reason my eye is drawn to tits most of the time.

        Fun fact: they once dressed up some female rats in ‘slutty’ clothes and make up and the male rats preferred that to other female rats that were ‘au naturel’. You’d think a species with no concept of a nudity taboo wouldn’t notice this, but apparently that happened.

        Point is: accentuated or ‘decorated’ nudity would be sexier than just simple nudity.

          The boys’ first sexual experience was with a girl in a vest, so they sought more of what they knew they enjoyed. It’s not that certain clothing is inherently sexual, but that the sex/clothing association is learned.

      I wonder if desensitization really works here. I’m kind of annoyed that boobs have this power over me. And in this day and age it’s not hard to see them every day.

    I lived in Haiti for 3 years where the top of a woman was not considered private. Within 2 months, looking at a woman’s breast was about as exciting as looking at her elbow. Weirdly, they switched back to being sexual after returning to Canada.

      There is an incentive to cover them for women

      When they stop becoming “private parts” they stop having the effect

            To be clear, I would expect that if it’s by culture, then it’d be very common to see women walking around topless and nobody pays it much attention.

            Lots of places allow it at a matter of law. There’s been many state Supreme Court cases like the one in OP that say female breasts don’t count towards indecent exposure. Where I live (Madison, WI), those laws only apply to being sexually lewd. Anyone can technically run around naked otherwise, but it’s not something people commonly do outside of the World Naked Bike Ride and protests.

          At least in Ontario. Women have had the same right as men to go topless anywhere a man would. This is since 1996, I think that’s when that Gretchen lass took it to court.

      Pretty sure the mosquitos will get you for the remainder.
