The topless parade. Pride or shame?

"Do you get the irony in that quote?" #230
Why would I have posted it if I didn't?
"It was meant to be sarcastic"
I'd say "satirical".
"and it militates against your argument because" #230
Perhaps it does so to your misperception of my intended point.

My intended point is:
"equality is never negative." #224
is not, in the extreme, absolutely correct. That is my argument. In what way is it militated against?

I consider it valid as a general rule.
That doesn't mean there aren't exceptions.
And the word "never" in the assertion is a superlative. How can there be exceptions to a superlative?
I'd explain it again but then I would just be repeating myself and you still wouldn't get it. Your quote was contemptuous of the ruling class. It punctuates how the majority tread underfoot the rights of the minority, kinda like how nudity laws are written by the prudish majority because nudity makes them uncomfortable. And here I go explaining it again. Next time choose a quote more flattering to your statist philosophy.
 
"Your quote was contemptuous of the ruling class." sf
No!
It MOST CERTAINLY is NOT!!
Please re-read the quotation.
The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets or steal bread.
Anatole France (1844–1924), French author
"Your quote was contemptuous of the ruling class." sf
No.
France's quotation is commenting on law in general, and on ostensible equality under law in particular.

But I agree that the comment does have a tinge of socialism to it, citing the starving poor sleeping under bridges, reduced to petty thievery for their survival.
But it's a comment about "the law"; which in fact are the first two words in the sentence.

LOL, I'm talking to a dilettante! Look at the examples he chose, all of them laws sequestering activities of the poor, not the rich. He wasn't praising the law, he was criticizing how the law favors the rich and powerful. It would have been better that I had quoted it because it supports my argument, not yours.
 
Nudity is a victimless "crime". It hurts nobody and is censored by law only because people don't want to see it. You want to bring up hygiene? Fine! But what hygiene issue is presented by breasts? It isn't about hygiene it's about being the only species on earth that's offended by its own body. It's a mental disease, diagnosed by God as such from the beginning. It's time the prudes were pushed out of the mainstream and relegated to historical oddities like those hideous full dress bathing suits they used to make women wear.

It's the human body. Get over it.

The animals never have to wear clothing because God in His wisdom clothed them in beautiful furs. Except for my dog who appreciates a pretty dress.

Human bodies whether in glory or ugliness have no God given coverings.

And yet God created us naked and the Bible records the man and woman were unashamed of their nakedness. It only became an issue after they sinned and their minds were darkened by the fall. The Bible in no way supports prudishness as authored by God. Quite the opposite.
 
I highly doubt most women are going to be walking around topless. Lol. This is needless worrying, IMO. It is actually legal for a woman to be topless in some states, yet most do not walk around that way. :D

Most people don't walk around with a gun conspicuously strapped to their hip in my state. What's important is the few that do, can.

Let freedom ring!
 
Topless protesters march through Manhattan in call for equality
Yesterday there was a new feminist protest march. Women decided to fight for equality showing the whole world their breasts. I can't understand how is connected! Women in America have all the same rights as men, plus extra privileges to the weaker sex.
I truly believe that such pride parades make no changes except of the pleasant view for the men. Thank you girls, your pics made my evening!

I don't know why people would be bothered. Pictures for ads use men and women in near naked pictures.

Why should children not see the naked body? Young kids take baths and showers with the parents. They see them get dressed. Many of the them were nursed. Most kids when they learn to use the potty they do so by watching their parents. There are topless and nude beaches and nudity places around.
Those are not the kind of titties I would want to see.
Put those bags away, ladies.

Don't look.
 
I think seeing women's breasts makes men want sex.
I know many men get frustrated just seeing women in low cut tops.
Some men have higher sex drives and levels of testosterone than others, so, it's very hard on them (no pun intended ...) ;)

I really do understand.... why would a woman want to expose herself anyway if NOT to attract men?
I don't think it would be comfortable for me to walk around topless, but, that's just me....

Either way, I think it's best for women to be covered up.
just get us used to it and insist, nice Persons do.
Well, Bonzi, we men do think about sex when seeing a pair of women's breasts. But, we also think about having sex with women that are wearing bras and shirts. Myself, when I see a woman with full pouty lips, I think about kissing her. Men are turned on by the visual. If you don't like that, stay indoors.

A great personality is what keeps a man interested after the sight of her naked body alone starts to lose effect. :p
