Something that surprised me as a father in progressive NYC was how often people sighed ,made comments under their breath ECT ECT over nursing a child.3 -
There is a man who swims in the harbour outside of my apartment in Lanzarote completely naked. Sometimes he stands on the rocks, hands on his hips, and surveys the scenery. Maybe I should buy him a speedo.5

Surprised by a Speedo...
I was riding my bike at the park and went by a man and women walking in business style clothing...next lap around the park, the man was in a red Speedo only
...ok5 -

I have one that I wear under my wetsuit. Makes for good wetsuit underwear. Anything else bunches up too much.
That means that I put the speedo on first, then my wetsuit. So I must endure the embarrassment of the speedo for a short period. I try to ignore the looks, but they do sting a bit...3 -
I used to swim competitively for a bit and play water polo. I associate Spedo briefs with racing/competition...so I think they look kind of out of place if you're just hanging out on the beach or poolside...I don't think they're a great fashion statement.
I still lap swim sometimes, and I wear jammers for that. Even when I was racing and had an awesome sub 10% 16/17 year old body, I always felt awkward in my Spedo and would put my shorts on over when I was done with a race.3 -

The looks sting or the speedo?1 -

Wait, are we eating them now? Kinky.. and cannibalistic.
In New York State a woman can legally be without a shirt anywhere a man can. Write your legislators.
Without a shirt... or topless? Those are two different things for folks who don't wear bras.
I just want the right to go topless like any man might be allowed to. If I have to see your bare chest, you should have to put up with mine. Breastfeeding or not.
Really? You would? I wouldn’t, couldn’t!🙈 What about gravity? I’d rather go against it, doesn’t hurt and looks better, maybe... 😂 If you really want to go topless, start your own march to “free the nips” or come to Canada, there’s quite a few places where you’re free to tan to your hearts content, no more tan lines. Actually, that doesn’t sound too bad now that I think of it?🤔
I want the option of choice as opposed to (like many other things) being told what I can and can't do with my body simply because it might offend someone, even though that's preposterous. They're boobs, it's not like I'm swinging a metaphorical penis everywhere and making lewd gestures with them. If men can show nipples, women should be offered that choice as well.
Whether a person wants to utilize said choice, well... that would be up to them.2 -

Colorado, Oklahoma, & Kansas (and maybe a couple more states) just passed legislation that allows women to go topless in the same places that a man is allowed to go topless.1 -

Tell my homestate (MO) and here (MS) to get with the program, yo. Hooray for those other states, though.. kinda surprised about Oklahoma.. they get touted as being kinda.. uptight.0
