One is hard pressed to explain to kids why women's boobs are okay in National Geographic but it corrupts their childhood innocence if they see a centerfold's naked breasts in Playboy.

I live in Austin, TX. It's a really great place, IMHO. Anyway, we have a natural spring-fed swimming hole called Barton Springs in the center of town, in Zilker Park. The pool is very clean, deep and more than a tad bit nippy.

It's not unusual to see topless co-eds swimming and sunning there. I have had visitors who commented how the park is nice, clean, nicely maintained; yet would not believe that young and old alike sun and swim topless.

Having been there a few times, you may notice a young woman getting out of the water, or heading down to the pool without her top on. And you know what? After about 15 seconds of getting your eyes full; you simply don't care. It's not a big deal.

Why can a 500 lb hairy man may go around without a shirt in the 100+ degree days without a comment, but should a woman dare do anything without a shirt; she is not only subject to crude remarks, she may also be arrested? To me, this makes very little sense.
