Women going topless in New York City?

Yep that’s the plan tomorrow. And not just New York. If you’re in:VENICE BEACH, CALIFORNIA
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AUSTIN, TEXAS, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
OAHU, HAWAII, DENVER, COLORADO or SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA too!

Tomorrow if you’re female you can go topless (well in pre-determined places that are all listed on www.gotopless.org) ! Men? You’ve got to cover-up and put on a bra in support ……

From http://www.gotopless.org

Who is doing this? A US group called GoTopless.org who believe that women have the same constitutional right to be bare chested in public places as men. Maybe they have a point? Is it fair for man boobs to be out and women’s not?

Probably not, but can I see women walking down a street without their shirts on any time soon? Definitely not. It’s a weird double standard that will, I believe, continue everywhere except the beaches of France. And then it will be to the enjoyment and giggling fascination of men from other countries to enjoy.

But I hear what the organization is saying. Why are they saying it tomorrow? Because on August 26, 1920, following a 72-year struggle, the U.S. Constitution was amended to grant women the right to vote. And in 1970, as an ongoing reminder of women’s equality, Congress declared August 26 “Women’s Equality Day.”

Topless on a beach?

I like the idea though. No more burning bras. We’re just going to make men wear them and we’re going to walk around Central Park – Columbus Circle 59th W. Street (between 8 ave and 5 ave) at noon  with a speech at 1pm if you’re in New York tomorrow.

If you’re in Colorado? The event will take place from 3-6:30PM in the appropriately named Shag Lounge, 830 15th Street, Denver.

California: Group meets at 2pm on Ocean Front Walk at Navy St. March starts at 2.30 PM towards Windward circle for our speech and entertainment at 3.30 PM.

And in Bermuda? Just kidding. That won’t happen…..or maybe it should. Anyway, if you’re feeling particularly proud tomorrow and you’re visiting any of these cities check out their website for more information and put the bra on your man!
