Feminists

It's definitely discrimination! I'm glad I live in NY, where I can do it. I've gotten everything from people calling the police, and hecklers halfway down the beach ("Let me suck on your titties!" etc) to women coming up saying they wish they were as brave as I was. There was one time I was at the beach in the water, and a family had floated their way down to me. I was chatting with the mom but getting ready to leave. I was like, "Oh boy, she probably thought it was a strapless swimsuit, and now she's gonna freak out when I get out of the water." But she actually apologized to me because of her young daughter staring! It was kind of refreshing to not have her YELL at me!

The Rochester Topfree Seven anniversary 5 years ago was the first time I went shirtless in public, and I was kinda nervous at first, but honestly-like someone else here mentioned-after a little bit, you really don't notice it at all! Same thing when I went to a nudist place for the first time. It's actually quite comfortable and liberating (and no hecklers at the nudist place!)

One thing I really hate is when a woman goes topless, she's often judged by her body, but few guys (that I've seen, anyway) have this happen to them. Like when Moira Johnston (forgive me if I got the last name wrong) went shirtless in NYC, a lot of comments on those articles were things like, "The only thing offensive is that belly of hers." First off, I'd love to have a body like that again. Secondly, if they are going to say things like that, then they better be sure that the look like Chippendale dancers or something before THEY go shirtless!
