Woman Charged For Going Topless In Front Of Stepchildren

What an obtuse idea, that health, safety and comfort at work mindsets are, thus, embarrassed by breasts.
You know my uncle was a nudist. I dunno if he was a feminist per se, but he was a carpenter. I don’t think he would have injured himself had he seen a breast. But that’s mere speculation on my part, I suppose.

Hi...
There was a nudist beach within half a mile of our home. I often caught mullet with a drag net along that beach, and sometimes bathers would rush out to help me pull in the net. I need to reassure you that their presence never did cause me to injure myself on the nets, although one bather hurt himself when a lead line rasped across his exposed genitals. He tried to blame me for this nasty injury but I had previously called out warnings and waved him away from the net, so he couldn't succeed in any claim. :)

No, your uncle was fairly safe if/when working with nudes etc, but people who are using sharp and impact tools should be safely and securely clothed for their safety, more than your uncles'.

This woman was an idiot imo. Of course so are such laws. I don't mind topless folks myself. But they really should get a brain and use it before working on jobs where they might hurt themselves. Over here we call it 'Health and Safety at Work' or H&S@W for short. We also call it common-sense.

:D

Lol!
There’s a nude beach near me. I often saw kids there. No one was scarred beyond belief, IIRC.
The lady in question, sure maybe an idiot. But who hasn’t accidentally seen their parents naked at least once in their life? Who cares? Nonsensical laws.

The local Council closed that nudist beach that I mentioned, because men were laying down and covered, and then would jump up and expose themselves to passing walkers, which was scaring people who had not noticed the signs about nude bathing. The world is full of nutters, sadly.

True. As already mentioned I think the woman was stupid, not because she was topless but because of work she was doing when topless. And you're right about those laws.....

When we read about States that ban the teaching of evolution in schools, or sex education, etc etc, most here just think that primitives must be running them. And the alcohol ban on under 21's is another. Over here I think that the law still allows a 14 year old to have, say, wine, when at a restuarant, and 18 year olds can buy alcohol.

It's time to give it up, admit Skwim is right, & see that installing
drywall doesn't require clothing for safety....except for shoes.
No hooters will be harmed in the process.
People shouldn't be branded for life as sex offenders for non
sexual things like letting the girls out to breathe, or taking a
whiz behind a bush in one's yard.

"SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah woman charged with a crime after her stepchildren saw her topless in her own home is fighting the case that could force her to register as a sex offender, pointing to a court ruling that overturned a topless ban in Colorado and helped fuel a movement.

So5vyjcD
Tilli Buchanan’s attorneys argue that Utah’s law on lewdness involving a child is unfair because it treats men and women differently for baring their chests. They are asking a judge to overturn her misdemeanor charges and declare that part of the law unconstitutional.

Prosecutors counter that nudity is commonly understood to include women’s breasts in American society and that courts have upheld laws based on morality.

“It was in the privacy of my own home,” Buchanan said after a court hearing Tuesday where a judge said she plans to rule in the coming months. “My husband was right next to me in the same exact manner that I was, and he’s not being prosecuted.”

Buchanan, 27, said she and her husband had taken off their shirts to keep their clothes from getting dusty while they hung drywall in their garage in a Salt Lake City suburb in late 2017 or early 2018.

When her husband’s three children, ages 9 through 13, walked in, she “explained she considers herself a feminist and wanted to make a point that everybody should be fine with walking around their house or elsewhere with skin showing,” her lawyers said in court documents.

Buchanan was charged with three counts of misdemeanor lewdness involving a child in February. It came after child welfare officials began an investigation involving the kids that wasn’t related to Buchanan."

It is called biology.

Dumb thing to do.

Me walking around my house naked and alone is different than doing it when other people are around.

She should just get a warning in my view. I see nothing malicious or predator like in her action.

Utah's laws on how we treat each other is biology??
Dumb thing to do.
And why is that?

That it is, just like walking around one's house singing and alone is different than doing it when other people are around

Why?

There! Now we all know that you go around whizzing in your yard.

And hooters, depending upon shape, volume and flexibility, could indeed be in grave danger from snags, nicks, thumps and bangs.

Of course such laws are stupid; over here some women wear such low clothing as for breasts to be almost totally exposed........ I take great interest in these modern fashions, you know.

On the side, imagine being bare chested when stocking a boiler, or feeding a multi-rip saw. :eek:

I was watching a cage-fight on telly two nights ago, and the fighters are led on to the arena by young women with unusual fruitful busts bursting out of undersize bras. But your US feminists don't think they should have these jobs. If women can mow the lawn, erect dry-walls, swim, sunbathe etc in the nude or topless, I wonder why feminism would stop skimpy clad women on sports duties..,.... it's all very confusing for an aged perv. :D

No biology shows that male and female are different. Hence why laws are different. Her chest isn't like a male's chest.

And why is that?

As some types drywall contains poison and toxins.

That it is, just like walking around one's house singing and alone is different than doing it when other people are around

Tits and balls are not like singing.


As Utah can not ignore the law when it pleases. A warning acknowledges a violation with no malice or sexual intent involved.

If you click on the "read more" link, this is revealed:

Buchanan was charged with three counts of misdemeanor lewdness involving a child in February. It came after child welfare officials began an investigation involving the kids that wasn’t related to Buchanan.

The children’s mother reported the topless incident because she was “alarmed,” authorities said. Police say Buchanan removed her shirt and bra in front of the children while “under the influence of alcohol” and said that if a man could take off his shirt, a woman should be able to as well.​

In the first part of the story, it says she removed her shirt while the children were not around. The police say she removed her shirt and bra in front of the children.

Hanging drywall while you've been drinking is stupid. If the children walked in unaware, she should have just continued hanging the drywall and just left it at that instead of giving the spiel about being topless.

What was the investigation involving the kids that wasn't related to Buchanan all about? Is this hubbub over her getting caught topless serving as a distraction away from the original investigation?

Perhaps British drywall is much more dangerous than Ameristanian.

I'm sure you've done extensive field research.

And a man's chest isn't like that of a female, so do you suggest that men need always keep covered?

In as much as I've yet to see a warning that all male sheet rockers must wear shirts because of possible poisoning and excessive contact to toxins I hardly thing it applicable only to females.
Tits and balls are not like singing.
Pretty darn perceptive of you, :rolleyes: but so what? And what do balls have to do with the issue?

"Police say".....I'm not inclined to trust what follows that.
This is based upon personal experience.

But common.
Alcohol has been an enormous problem for me (as an employer) in the trades.

And what did she eat for breakfast? Huh? Point being, what moral or legal significance resides in being under the influence when removing one's shirt and bra in front of the children? Bringing up her alcohol consumption is nothing but a cheap attempt to smear her character. Pretty petty if you ask me.

What do tits and balls have to do with the issue? It's rather the crux, I'd say. It's the weird American puritanical hangup about nudity, ANY nudity, being INHERENTLY sexual, and including women's breasts, and the exposure of them, no matter the circumstance, as inherently sexualised. Hence you've still got a sizable number of Americans (and quite a few other Anglophone Westerners) who treat public breastfeeding like exposure to hardcore porn. I.e. breasts =balls in terms of offensive exposure to a lot of people.

There is that, and in spades. Puritanical Christians, and most of the Christians who followed, have really screwed with America's moral mindset. Well, a lot of Americans anyway. But there are those of us who have survived their straitlaced approach to mental health and see value in the movement to Free the Nipple.

How do you get your computer to put a line through words?
I use telepathy.
But you can also click on that little box (in the row of options over
the post you're editing) with a + sign in it, & select "S Strike-through".

I find that it really enhances my ability to communicate & annoy.
