Don’t they know the women should be topless?
So they had an ordinance in Ocean City, MD, saying women can’t saunter around topless on the public beach. The operative word is “had,” past tense: because they don’t have it anymore (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/may/8/ocean-citys-bare-chested-women-tops-off-a-ridiculo/).
This is how things get done in America, which used to be a republic but I don’t know what it is now. Whiny minority complains, finds a friendly Democrat judge, and gets whatever it wants, no matter how unjust or unreasonable. The Democrat judge in this case, explaining why he thought it necessary for women to expose their breasts in public, said, “We’re not in the same Neanderthal-type environment” anymore. ‘Cause it’s, like, so caveman to not flaunt your breasts in public–!
The other way things get done in America is for some Democrat governor to issue a Mandate. Then the little signs pop up all over, “By order of the governor!” Just like Occupied France, circa 1942. But that’s a topic for another post.
Prediction! How many nanoseconds will it take for some of these topless women to complain they’re being viewed as sex objects? The ordinance was upheld by a federal judge in 2020, but successfully appealed on the grounds of “sexist ideologies” thwarting self-expression. Honk if you’re buying that.
Feminism, you’ve run out of gas and there’s a hole in your tank.
If that isn’t the most ridiculous thing (or one of them) I have read today. Yeh, makes a lot of sense: go out with your top exposed, then yell “me too” when anything comes of it. Women were, when I was young, the guardians of propriety. That is all gone now, and I want to cry.
Move over, I’ll join you.
What are the odds that rape goes up too.
I don’t particularly care either way; breasts are for feeding babies anyhow, and the idea that they aren’t is pretty modern and limited to Western culture. But topless on the beach? Thanks but no thanks; I’m not too keen on the idea of sunburned nipples.
