    Women taking their right to go topless to state's high court.

    Women taking their right to go topless to state's high court. In a case that pits freedom of expression and equality against public decency, three women are challenging a New Hampshire city ordinance prohibiting public nudity and taking it to the state's highest court.

    I see no reason why they shouldn’t win the case.

    I see no reason why that idea is not total idiocy.

    I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'm trying to see their point but I also know there are places men and women can go if they want to be top or bottomless. Freedom of speech is a really hard issue to balance. I think no matter the outcome someone will have their personal freedoms infringed upon.

    Men can go virtually anywhere topless. Women can only go topless in specifically topless-allowing zones. That’s the root of the issue and keeping that dynamic in place is really pretty illogical.

    Right. There are competing interests. One side is going to lose. The only way to split the baby is to have public beaches have a topless zone for women.

    I know California has nude beaches like that. I don't think there are currently many other places where women can go topless, or totally nude.

    If you ignore concepts of public decency which are ingrained in our society- whether we agree with them are not.

    This could be a mini-"bathroom" issue for many Americans.

    Bonus points if they show up in court with their boobies hanging out.

    Why is it indecent for women to go topless but not for men?
