Women Now Allowed To Walk Topless In Public In New York by DrDoGood1(m): 7:07pm On May 29, 2013
Ladies of New York, you are free to walk bare-breasted through the city! New York City's 34,000 police officers have been instructed that, should they encounter a woman in public who is shirtless but obeying the law, they should not arrest her. This is a good step towards gender parity in public spaces.

This decision means that breast exposure is not considered public lewdness, indecent exposure, or disorderly conduct. It also notes that, should a crowd form around a topless woman, the officer should instruct the crowd to disperse and then respond appropriately if it does not. Relative coverage is no longer a factor.

This policy shift comes after several years of litigation and protest. In the 1992 case People v. Ramona Santorelli and Mary Lou Schloss, the New York Court of Appeals ruled in favor of two women who were arrested with five others for exposing their breasts in a Rochester park, holding the law void as discriminatory. The ruling was put to the test in 2005, when Jill Coccaro bared her breasts on Delancey Street in New York, citing the 1992 decision, and was detained for twelve hours. She subsequently successfully sued the city for $29,000.

In 2007, Go Topless, a national organization supporting gender equality in shirtlessness laws, established Go Topless Day. Dozens of women protest – often topless – in thirty cities around the United States, promoting equal rights to be shirtless. Protests usually include chants of “Free your breasts. Free your minds” and a song “Let ‘em Breathe” to the tune of the Beatles’ “Let it Be.”

While some who have witnessed these events have suggested that "[t]his is extreme liberalism and why America’s in decline” or “[i]t’s degrading to women,” others have been supportive. One man even said he would encourage his wife to join them.

Though bare-breasted women might shock the sensibilities of some in the public, it is encouraging to see the police responding positively to gender bias, even on such a seemingly small scale. After all, no one thinks twice about a man shirtless on a summer day. However, the female nipple or chest is still considered “lewd.” By reminding its officers of this, the NYPD is publicly declaring that it will no longer perpetuate unconstitutional gender discrimination, a standard to which all law enforcement should be held and a decision for which it should be applauded.

I am not suprised that this is happening in America,because America was never a godly country.America was founder under the deep ocultic power.For instance, check some the names of american cities,such as las varges,los angelis etc.Do you knw that the meaning of los angelis is the city of lost angels,and you and i know that satan and his fellow demons are the lost angels.
In every ocultic thing american do, they will tag it human right, equall right,gender equality etc.I tell you that very soon other countries will follow.They have had there were with gay right and now this is another strategy they are using to promote sex and all sort of immoralities.Weather you believe it or not, america is preparing the ground for satan to take over.America is the forerunner of satan.

There is really nothing about a topless woman that strikes me as anything.
Our African ancestors were largely topless. I'm not a breast man so I really couldn't care less.

Most women look better with clothes on any way.

Don't you find it intriguing that this devilish country that you're going on is the most powerful in the world? Nigeria with the holiest people in the world is still at the runt of the totem pole?

Meanwhile, the weed you're smoking is really good. That explains why you typed up such ignorance filled post. Los angelis ko, it's Los Angeles, you dumbfuck. The name has a Mexican origin seeing as the city is close to Mexico. Next time, before spewing this much crap, remember to use google.

Stop being a hypocrite, you know darn well some women go topless in Nigeria/Africa, and has gone topless for centuries, I can go as far as to say even since the begining of time, and Los Angeles means, The City Of Angels. You brought God into this, well even Adam and Eve walked around coverless.
