I hope that she wins. Sometimes money is the only way to get through to some people.

Daytona Beach To Close Loophole In Anti-Nudity Law

Seems to me that the city is being a bunch of sore losers.

Woman says she'll protest nudity law

Here's an update to the story.

If a law doesn't address the mischief you intend it to deal with, it's perfectly reasonable to change the law. That's how laws are made and amended.

The mischief in question is the attempt to get the law to treat men and women equally.

I know, Mark, but because males and females are anatomically different, I see nothing wrong with laws treating them differently on anatomical issues. Women exposing their breasts is an issue of decency, not equality, in my book.

Breasts !!!

So...

what is indecent about women's breasts, then ???

[MoonShadow]

Good question, nudebushwalker. Just what is indecent about women's breasts?

Interesting .... exposed women's breasts are indecent. Now, what kind of culture would even think to make women's breasts indecent? And we wonder why people have hang-ups about their bodies when it is thought that exposed breasts on women are indecent?

Accordingly, I suppose that it is indecent also that any part of the breasts are exposed so that would mean that today's fashions, today's swimwear for women are indecent also. Is that true, Stu?

[nudebushwalker]

Breasts aren't considered "indecent" down here...

Women have been going topless in ever increasing numbers on Oz' beaches since the 1960's, to the point that these days the majority of women will be topless on the majority of beaches here...

If breasts were considered indecent down here this would never have reached this current situation..

Such hangups about women's anatomical differences seem to be concentrated among certain clusters of people in the USA, parts of Britain, and much of the Middle East these days; [ while other countries - including Australia and NZ - do have such neurotics, mysogynists and 'moral minority' types, they are fortunately in a minority in most parts of the world ].

Nothing. There is nothing inherently indecent about any part of the human body. It is the circumstances of their exposure that can be considered indecent.

Women have been going topless in ever increasing numbers on Oz' beaches since the 1960's, to the point that these days the majority of women will be topless on the majority of beaches here...

So in the beach context female toplessness is now acceptable. Fine. But I bet it's still not acceptable in a shopping mall. BTW - in some parts of Europe, toplessness is becoming far less common on beaches.

Some of the more extreme fashions are verging on indecency, in my opinion. It does depend upon how much, and what part, of the breast is exposed - and, of course, that old chestnut the context. What may be acceptable for a young woman going to a discotheque may seem quite indecent on a female primary school teacher.

[Daveinct]

A woman's breasts are not indecent, it's the thoughts of some observers that are indecent. Then there are those whose lives are so empty and meaningless that they have to resort to trolling on the internet to gain some sort of satisfaction.

[MoonShadow]

LOL, Dave, how very true!
