This summer, women can walk around topless in NYC

Ladies, you are planning to travel to New York soon? To lighten your suitcase, the American city has got you by allowing you to leave your bras in their drawers: it is now possible to walk around topless in the city. In fact, this right existed since 1992, but in practice, the forces of order zealous repressed topless.


As we enter the month of Pride, the city authorities may have wanted to avoid any skirmish reminding some 34,000 police officers that this attitude was not a crime. On the contrary, they the urge to protect these ladies too curious passersby: "Even if to show topless attracts much attention, in this case agents will disperse the crowd and take enforcement action."

social Constructivism


If the measure is aimed at women and men equal before the heat weapons, it has primarily a claim for equal rights between the sexes. Why a guy could he indeed show unashamedly his chest, his hair and his abs (or beer belly, it depends) while a woman can not show off her boobs freely? Social constructivism when you hold us ... As it may seem understandable that these gentlemen and ladies, from the caves, protected their genitals of incidents irreversible, it is not the same with the chest. Women in traditional tribes in Africa and Amazonia remain, even today, often topless.

Gender Equality


But the propriety wanted is hiding anything above or betrays hair (both can also join). In so prohibiting Mrs. exposing his chest. Because if that were the case, the message could be a triple meaning: the appearance maternity course (and the Oedipus complex of some unresolved), rebellion and provocation (think Marianne Delacroix, proud and intrepid guide the people to freedom) or gender to win (or win).

"My body, my choice"


Conquer that gender equality is just worn by the American feminist Moira Johnston message. It has for many years campaigned for the right to walk topless in the streets of New York, an important right that "if blacks could not remove their T-shirts while the whites are."
