In the news this week was a report of a New York woman losing a court case in New Jersey wherein she sought the right to appear topless in public. Men do not have to wear shirts, was her reasoning, why should women? In this article we learn that this was not her first legal go-round on the matter.
In the same news cycle came a report from San Francisco, where a city supervisor has proposed a measure to require that nudists not sit in public without "clothing or other separate material as a barrier” between the nudist and the public seating. In this article we learn that public nudity has been accepted in San Francisco for a while now.
The question that occurred to us upon reading the first report was, of all the real or imagined injustices that exist in this world, this woman thinks that shirt-inequality is the one worth pursuing?
The question that occurred to us upon reading the second report was, of all the actions that could be taken to deal with public nudity, the city supervisor thinks that putting a blankie on the seat is sufficient?
