Going bare-breasted, woman makes statement about women's bodies
Philly.com ^ | 6/5/13 | Ronnie Polaneczky

WANTED TO WRITE something snarky about Moira Johnston because what she's doing kind of begs for snarkiness.

But after hanging with her in Rittenhouse Square - where her bare breasts caught the morning sun, elicited picture-taking and drew a blasting honk from a Roadway Express truck - Johnston won me over to her cause.

Which is this: Women should be allowed to go topless anywhere that men are allowed to.

Maybe it was the flowered pasties that covered Johnston's nipples. Or the glorious breeze. Or the guy who grinned at Johnston's chest and said, "God bless ya, babe!"

Mostly, though, it was Johnston's demeanor that made her exposed boobs seem like no big deal.

She wore paisley-patterned harem pants and flats, carried a big old shoulder bag and yoga mat and had the teeniest bit of pudge on her hips. With her no-fuss hair and big sunglasses, she came across as the cute girl next door, not the aggressive sexual tease that naysayers presume her toplessness telegraphs.

The poll at the site has the "yes" winning by a wide margin.

You can vote on this. No. Really.

And no, I will not take the grin off my face.

If I ever saw something like that I hope I’d have the presence of mind to say something like “Good God...put them away...you’ll scare the children and the livestock”.

Boy, I sure am glad that she doesn’t feel like objectifying her body.

You can see her frontal pics using google image search. Meh. Thirty year old former stripper, whose breasts are starting to droop.

“...Women should be allowed to go topless anywhere that men are allowed to...”

And gosh darnit, they should be allowed to pee standing up!

This antic was done in the 70’s, and it soon blew over...

Good for her; all women should go around bare-breasted.

In fact, all women should wear only g-strings at all times. It would significantly improve the planet.

They can already do that... but I'd recommend taking off their socks and shoes first. ;)

You Freepers realize that this means curtains for the former Pervert-in-Chief ... who is certain to suffer cardiac arrest from high blood pressure caused by overexposure to female flesh

She should have taken up this cause 10 years ago before pancake syndrome set in.

Well, why do men get to go shirtless and we women have to cover up?

It’s not like I want to anyway, but guys, it not erotic for us to look your boobs, especially when they outsize ours....most of the time it’s just gross.

So, every one cover up, how about that!

That's really the cause here. These liberals think they're doing something auspicious for a cause, when in reality, a majority of society is laughing at them.

Besides, can you imagine what would happen if this was permitted around the world? You'd have murders of women in middle Eastern countries on a daily basis for violating Sharia.

woman makes statement about women's bodies

Namely, that she has one, as if it is somehow suprising. And that she only does this in an environment she feels safe in. Try it in the back streets of Chicago or anywhere in Saudi Arabia.
