I am curious, a movement in Iceland that gathered a lot of attention outside our country about this idea that women in support of a 17yr old who was attacked for her nipple appearing in a photo (unintentionally) ...
Mostly in Iceland and most of the EU nations that covered this story people supported this movement, and in North America most people reacted with what you would expect.
Canada seems to be this nation less offended unlike the US which loves violence in movies, but is shocked at a nipple in superbowl halftime which appears for less than 1/2000 of a second.
How does Calgary and my Canadian friends view this discussion, about women's breasts being equal to a man's breasts...
I think we have a long way to go if the Red Mile thread has anything to say. Women should be able to go topless if they want, but it's still going to take a massive shift in North American culture before it's completely accepted.

What's happening in that thread?
I was going to post, to google search flames girls and then check out the first link.

Just seems like the next most important thing to the Flames making the playoffs was the topless girls on the Red Mile. Your post kind of proves it as well.

Not the most important, but a very very nice fringe benefit. I do not mind.
I thought from a legal perspective this was already true in Canada or at least in Ontario where there was a ruling that women could go topless if not done in a sexual manner.
I think it's changed in NA. In the 60s and 70s seeing bare breasted women didn't seem to be out of the ordinary for me. People are a lot more up tight today.

Legal in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and BC, I believe. Probably takes someone taking a case to the Supreme Court to make it legal across Canada.
Legal in New York State, at the very least, in terms of States.
I know of two nude beaches in Canada, others may know of more.
And yes, as far as the culture goes, Canada views sex far more liberally than the States. Even some European nations.
When you watch movies, or shows like GoT here, you'll notice their ratings are generally one less than the States, because of sensibilities to nudity and sex.
Personally I'd have no problem with women having the right to be topless. In fact, I only think it's fair. However, it might be less fun. In the long run anyway.
And kinda gross more often than it would be hot. But I guess that's a sexist way of looking at it?

Women should be able to, yes. However it is the response of men that ruins it. I cannot walk around topless because I'm certain that at some point there will be a picture of me doing so on the internet. What's unacceptable is that I am not free to make that decision myself.

I just read your article Thor and I agree there is nothing shameful about the female form. The big issue is not that there is something shameful about it, but that others would use it as a weapon. I am not ashamed of my body and i would love to walk around topless on occasion however there is a very real threat that what is mine and mine alone to share would then become available for public consumption on the internet.
It is not for women to change their mindset, it is for men to change.

Nah. Not unless you think it's sexist for people to be allowed to have preferences over what they do and do not find appealing or attractive.

Sure, I can't argue with that, but if you're in public, then that's a risk you have to weigh. Anything we do or show in public can find its way on the internet, whether it's having one's tits out, having an unusual haircut or tattoo, or wearing pants with some ass-crack showing. All expectations of privacy go out the window once you're in public.
