If it were up to you, which would you choose?
1) Everyone can go barechested. as long as they are not engaging in lewd behavior or doing it for money. (New York has this rule.) If men can go shirtless, it's unfair to prohibit women from doing the same thing.
2) No one can expose mammary glands in public (with an exception for breastfeeding). It's nature, not the law, that makes men and women different.
3) Las requiring clothing in public should be repealed. It's a religious rule (remember Adam nd Eve?) and it does not hurt anyone else if someone doesn't wear clothes. Apply any public health concerns evenly to the clothed and unclothed.
Also, if law 1 is chosen and an employer allows BOTH men and women to go topless at work, can someone sue, saying the employer has created a "hostile work environment" and is therefore engaged in sexual discrimination/harrassment?

I pick number 2 all the way...No if, and, or buts
Now I would like to add to that law.... If your boobs hang low, If they wobble to and fro, If you can tie 'em in a knot, if you can tie 'em in a bow, if you can throw 'em over you shoulder like a continental soldier...If your boobs hang low THEN by law you would be required to wear a proper fitting bra.
HAPPY MONDAY

Fun question! I have no problem with it, but I don't think it would be as much fun as you might think if everyone was bare-chested. 1) Fat people would do it and 2) you would get desensitized after a while.
And Mary you should know it's not the woman's fault for being raped. Men should behave like men, rape is the most cowardly act I know especially against a child. You do not have an excuse because "she was asking for it wearing that mini-skirt". No, no one asks to be raped.

I think #1, is the best of these options. However, the current laws are in place because the majority of Americans are uncomfortable with nudity. It may have started with religion, but now it's more about society.

There is a difference between social mores and laws.
If EVERYTHING were regulated by laws, you would have a Taliban-like situation, which Americans specifically don't want.
Our society historically has decided that there IS a difference b/t men being topless and women being topless. AND our society has decided historically that there is a difference being topless at work and being topless at the beach.

Unfortunately, as long as you have perverts in the worl who think less clothing is an open invitation for sexual exploitation, then these laws would never be taken seriously.

I think #1 makes the most sense. After all, it doesn't make sense to apply a rule to one group and not to another, especially when you consider the fact that some men are bigger up top than some women. (YUCK!)

NONE! What is the problem of covering up your body? If one doesn't show it, that is a sexuality bonus. The trouble with our society is we talk too much and its (always about sex), dress provocatively, have hate in our hearts for everything and everyone who is different than the thoughts we currently possess. and then when someone gets brutally raped, we wonder why.
