PORTLAND – About two dozen women marched topless from Longfellow Square to Tommy's Park this afternoon in an effort to erase what they see as a double standard on male and female nudity. click image to enlarge

A group of women and men who had shed their tops march down a Congress Street sidewalk from Longfellow Square to Tommy's Park. They were promoting the freedom of women to be topless in public. The group attracted many amateur and professional photographers.



The women, preceded and followed by several hundred boisterous and mostly male onlookers, many of them carrying cameras, stayed on the sidewalk because they hadn't obtained a demonstration permit to walk in the street. About a thousand people gathered as the march passed through Monument Square, a mix of demonstrators, supporters, onlookers and those just out enjoying a warm and sunny early-spring day.

After the marchers reached Tommy's Park in the Old Port, some turned around and walked back to Longfellow Square, but most stayed and mingled in the park. Some happily posed for pictures.

"Ty McDowell, who organized the march, said she was "enraged" by the turnout of men attracted to the demonstration."

Without having seen the photos, can I say that those protestors marching topless are those who physiques indicate they definitely should NOT be topless in public??

These are crazy liberal women. A weird variant on Islam. “We want to walk around topless, but we will have you beheaded for looking at us!!!”

Obama has emboldened the crazies and those that want freedom for themselves, but freedoms taken away from everyone else.
