There’s nothing more American than protesting . We’re a country of rabble rousers who change the world by fighting for our beliefs. With that in mind, GoTopless has been on a crusade for clothing equality between men and women — centered around what we’re allowed to show and forced to conceal in public. Through generations of gender equality struggle there have been leaps forward and disappointing setbacks, and America tends to be particularly puritanical when it comes to bare skin being linked with sexuality .
Back in 1936 ,men fought for the right to go shirtless in public . There were protests by male lifeguards and movie stars so that navels, nipples, and chests would be allowed out and about in public. Eighty years later, women still have to protest and risk being arrested for going shirtless in public spaces.
vast majority of U.S. states constitutionally allow women to be topless alongside men. However, individual cities and counties are creating laws that unconstitutionally prohibit women (not men) from enjoying that right. GoTopless has been marching in cities across America — most recently in Venice Beach — to raise awareness of what the law is and how it’s biased along gender-lines. They recently started a petition at Change.org to get laws in the L.A. County area repealed .

#brandnew #socialpics from #gotoplessday 2016 by gotopless.org This year's worldwide Go Topless Day March in #venicebeach was a great event to attend.. Now in it's 9th year, this protest/celebration (depending on the #topless laws where you live) always falls on the Sunday closest to Women's Equality Day, Aug, 26th.. According to the organizers, gotopless.org, 'the right to go topless for women is based on gender equality as their right to vote once was..' We'd have to say that sounds about right, and also add that it's quite unfortunate.. Besides inflicting on a woman's fundamental right to choose, there have also been negative health effects linked to the use of bras, but that's another story (or should we say song) for another day.. Hopefully someday soon we'll be able to free the #boobies!! #TOPTIP: Use promo code FREETHENIPPLES for a 50% discount for your next party or event @ www.socialpics.net We'd like to thank you, yes you reading this right now, for lending us your eyeballs.. #btw, if our pics are your kind of #party, don't for get to like, comment & follow!! #gotoplessday2016 #teamnobra #freethenipple
