(See Title of Previous Post)

Alright, here's a topic that I've always enjoyed discussing... women's breasts. A Florida judge recently overturned a Daytona woman's arrest and fine for going topless, on the grounds that her action is constitutionally-protected. But the city's anti-nudity statute is excepted only in political protests, and the city plans to appeal.

Why is this necessary?

If I were a heavyset individual, it's entirely possible that my boobies would be bigger than any hypothetical female ones liberated by the fine work of our friends at TERA and similar organizations. Arguably, they'd be hairier too. Why are she-breasts more taboo? Because they're more titillating? (Sorry.)

And, as one poster so nobly expressed on Plastic.com,
1.) A breast is almost the first (and at the time, the most important) thing that any human sees in their life.

2.) We are expected to spend the rest of our lives learning to be ashamed of it, and "more importantly", protecting children from seeing any more breasts.

3.) #2 not valid outside of America.

Gotcha.
