If men can be topless, than women should be able to be topless, also. If men can show their hair, then women should be able to, also.

If people feel it is attractive for women to cover up their bodies/breasts in public, then that should be a *choice* and not one that is forced on women. I feel that women covering the body in the name of fashion/decency is unattractive not because of appearance but because of the underlying belief that the sexes do not deserve the same rights and privileges...a belief that I find extremely unattractive.

Now that's a feminist statement I can get behind.

Oh, out of curiousity, what's your opinion on women shaving their heads? Because I think what you're saying applies to that as well.

Even putting aside the fact that I have a huge fetish for it, it just seriously confuses me as to why women are expected to shave every part of their body yet when they shave their heads it's some horrifying abomination against god and nature that should be shunned upon. Where's the consistency in that?

But of course guys can do it, and when they do it are they compared to cancer patients or nazi skinheads? Um no. I guess their excuse is that they're too vain to just let people notice that they're going bald naturally, what a bunch of hypocritical douchebags.
