MIKolbe Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 [quote]Organiser Ty MacDowell, 20, said the protest in Portland, Maine, was aimed at showing the double standards in the state of Maine. Men are allowed to walk down the street shirtless but, although not illegal, women are too afraid to go topless. Police gave the two dozen women an escort as they bared their breasts for a stroll through Maine's biggest city. Hundreds of onlookers, mostly men, turned out to watch the topless demo. MacDowell said she was upset that many of the men were taking photos on their mobile phones at the spectacle. She said: "[b]I'm really upset by the men ... watching it like it's a parade[/b]."

Nihil Obstat Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Women. can't live with 'em, can't stare at 'em when they go topless. That's not my quote though, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Typically protests where you move about are a form of parade, and in the public view, there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. So while I understand being upset to be looked upon as objects, I don't feel much sympathy over it; if you bare your body, you can expect to be looked at in your protest.
