Why does she not just take it to the next level by having a sex change. Then (s)he will have the same rights as a man.
It seems to me that what she is stating is just as ridiculous as what I have stated.

I support this for all the wrong reasons. Does that count?

I voted yes.
First of all, because I would love to see a lot more topless women (okay, that was not first of all, but let`s say it was first priority for one of my heads )
On more reasonable terms now, while I do see boobs are being more sexual than pecs, at least for the "commercial" world , I barely can see a reason for why there should be rules about we being naked besides maybe some hygine concerns? (which I believe are dealt with with towels on most nude communities )
I mean sure, a lot of people that wan`t to make their kids not look at nude women or men around will protest, but I truly don`t care. Oh noes! the kid has a hard on! poor kid!
I am sorry, I am not feeling sorry for him at all.

I should start collecting your yawns
On how many threads have you got in simply to say "oh, this again, yawn"
You sure like to yawn a lot!
Now every new time I see you yawn I`ll yawn at it, concider yourself warned!
The difference is that men go crazy seeing boobs whereas women are hardly affected by seeing a man topless...unless he has an amazing body.
It comes down to how men perceive and treat us as a result of the way we behave. If it didn't make a difference then there wouldn't be a problem. But it would make a difference.

you nailed it.
But that`s exactly why I cannot see how to forbid it in any grounds: it comes down to how MEN percieve them.
the woman cannot be held accountable for that, there are many tribes where boobs in the air is normal, so it is definetely sociocultural.
I find it unappealing to keep a prohibition grounded on that to only hinder women and not men.
Why do you think it's ridiculous for women to have the same right to run around topless as men do?
oh, please, that's no reason to stop women from going around topless. The only reason they do go crazy is precisely BECAUSE they are so hidden and hyper-sexualized. Allowing us to go topless wherever men can would help to diminish that a great deal. in fact I'm not sure if you watched the video or noticed but there were a lot of men there too walking around and they didn't seem to be focused on the women's boobs at all.
Also think about it, the only part of a woman's boob that is really taboo to show is the nipple, we see it all the time when breasts are censored, in the way the women in this video had to cover there nipples... which brings us back to the whole dichotomy of breasts for nursing vs. breasts for sex. I would support the legalization of topless women for this reason also as It would help to clear up a lot of issues with women breast feeding in public.
I agree that its a cultural issue. I'm not convinced either way yet that it would truly desensitisation. I was thinking about how women have been showing off their legs, midriff and cleavage for a long time now but that doesn't seem to have made men desensitised toward those body parts.

How is it important wheter we are loving it or not?
I mean, why does the legal has to come this way?
I dont see any sense to it
Really? I think it has, after all it's not considered nearly as scandalous to show off those things as it was say in the 50's, 60's, 70's and on. Sure it took time but it's become more and more accepted that it's okay for women to reveal these aspects of her body primarily because of movements of women who insisted on dressing that way regardless of what men or society in general thought. I don't see men going all crazy just because the tank top I wear on a hot summer's day shows off a little cleveage. That doesn't mean they don't but in truth it's up to the men to control their urges, not us to hide ourselves on the off chance that some men might start going crazy.

There are several places where women frequently go with as much or little clothing as the men.
In fact, there are places that only have changing rooms because of the prudish Americans whining and complaining about men and women changing at the pool side.
Sad really, that some people are so scared of the human body.

What I find sad is that we indulge their silliness with legislation.
Naturaly, Ecuador ain`t less prudish.
Except with breast feeding. I`ve seen many women breast feeding in public places, and you practically see the whole boob exept the nipple because the baby is sucking. I`d bet the nipple is shown without shame when they put the boob back in
It`s curious, but good I guess. I mean, it is good that at least we don`t bothe rthe breast feeders
