Yesterday, Saturday, April 3, 2010, in America, two dozen women bare breast rights activists marched down the streets of Portland, Maine for their Constitutional right to bare their breasts as men are allowed to go about with bare chests. These women drew a large crowd. Of supporters? Well, most in the crowd were young men who seemed very appreciative and fortunate to be eye-witnesses to the demonstration, and according to press accounts were "eagerly snapping away with cameras and cell phones." They took many, many pictures as reminders of this moment, when these few dozen ladies of Portland did their part for public equality, and for women to have an equal opportunity for public toplessness.
The Associated Press reports that twenty year old Ty MacDowell, who organized the event and promoted it on Facebook, said that the point of the march was that a topless woman out in public should attract no more attention than a man walking around without a shirt. In that case she failed. But maybe next time? Anyway, there is no law in Portland that prevents a woman from going topless, so there were no arrests, and the police said, no incidents Don't you just love America?
