I live in Portland, Oregon. Neither the naked bike rides or the topless women here ever bothered me. But I also have worked in massage and PT for thirteen years. If nudity ever shocked me it certainly doesn't now.

Topless? Well, men are allowed, why not women?

But then, full nudity wouldn't bother me either. I doubt most people would take advantage of the opportunity, but I don't see a problem with those that would.

As they say, if we were meant to be naked, we'd be born that way....

I would limit it to women that are far too young for me to date:p

I would support it, provided one caveat.
Women who go out in public topless should have a signed statement on file that they won't get upset when men treat them like a topless woman in public.

Otherwise, I am totally unconcerned about it. Frankly, when the weather is hot I feel bad for chicks who have to wear more than I do.

Do you really feel it's right to lay the burden of responsible behavior on the women for exercising their equal rights?

And what, exactly, does it mean to be 'treated like a topless woman in public'? How would that be different than how a topless man is treated in public? And is this just another excuse for some men to be rude and nasty?

In Britain it isn't illegal to be topless, I definately have no problem with it, cover something and you want to look inside but in the open you can see the best ones, but really it's no big deal.

I've seen so many nekid Breasts. Cows, Goats, Dogs, so women are nothing special. Today I was so hot that I got rid of my bra and just wore a T shirt. So what? Never had the chutzpah to do the Naked Bike Ride. If a Mormon I know saw me here, Oh, the indignity of it, how scandalous. I'd be in for a good talking to.

So long as I'm not asked to clean the bike seats go for it. xD

Its a low level matter. People should wear whatever clothing and however much clothing is needed to keep everybody playing nice. I don't think it should be a criminal offense to break clothing laws, but there should be standards. Requiring clothes should be commonplace. Women wearing tops is what is expected, and changing the rules requires a good reason.

I think he means that it is OK for the naked person to be looked at. Even, stared at.

I think young ladies should be allowed to go topless, but it should be a crime if older saggier ladies were to do likewise.

There's a basic principle in law to the effect that law is put into place to serve practical objectives. Lacking any such objective, a law is undeserving of enactment. And I suggest that restrictive standards follow such a philosophy. If no practical objective is served by setting a restrictive standard, then the standard is undeserving of being put into practice. So I have to ask, what practical objective is served by restricting women from going topless in public?
