When the Berkeley City Council tabled a vote Tuesday night on the adoption of an ordinance that would make public displays of the female breast legal, an activist shed her clothes and stood on top of council members' tables.
Gypsy Taub, a 48-year-old nude activist and video producer, ranted to protest the way two council members, Sophie Hahn and Susan Wengraf, reacted to comments from residents who spoke in favor of the ordinance.
"Every single one of them was in favor of the legislation, in favor of letting women decide for themselves whether to wear a bra or not," Taub wrote in a press release that includes a video of her naked display and tantrum.

Why isn’t liberals only think they can make a point when their clothes are off?

Because liberalism is a mental disorder?

Eeek! is right.
But a lot better than I was expecting.
Usually these nudies are 200 (plus) pounders.

I think ANYONE who refers to them-self as an "activist" should get 90 days in the slammer for the first offense, ten years for repeated offenses.

In other words, another typical Berkeley City Council meeting. Dog bites man. It would be news if someone didn’t show up nude at a meeting in Berkeley.

It could have been much worse. It could have been Rosie Odoughnut protesting in the altogether.

I don’t understand some people’s insistence about getting naked in public. I once knew someone who liked to get naked in public — my niece, when she was about two years old. She outgrew it.

Guys show their breasts but they don’t shave their pits.
Why do girls have to shave their pits and hide their breasts?
In some cultures girls can show their breasts and unshaven pits are considered sexy.
