This is why I can't fucken stand political "correctness." People are DIFFERENT. When will people just accept this?
What a load of useless horseshit. Seriously, engage the brain before posting next time. Blindly making "BS PINK THINK" styled mating calls isn't intelligent.

Being different doesn't by itself justify different treatment. The issue really should be whether the fact that women have perky breasts (in general) means that it should be objectionable for a woman to bare her breasts in public?

Put another way, is there any material MORAL difference that justifies holding women exposing their breasts objectionable? Does the fact that "many of us" (apparently) find something objectionable constitute an adequate ground to seriously curtail another's freedom? Heck, "many of us" not too long ago held that any literature which was "against God" to be objectionable and those who wrote such things really copped it. Many people used to believe that women were not persons. Clearly, that "many find this objectionable" or "they are just different" are not good reasons for maintaining the current state of affairs.

Don't forget that such laws against women often have a rather dirty history. Laws like these have their origins in ideas such as "women as chattels" and often postulate rubbish ideas that evil women just love to titillate us good men. Lastly, someone's physical characteristics is an entirely morally arbitrary factor, as it is entirely out of their control. So, why let those with a flat chest (ie men) bare their breasts while denying women such freedom?
