If women have to get their tits out to make a point, so be it.

[Pab Sungenis]

184. I'm getting so sick of people who tar the word "feminism" by associating it

with what is essentially nothing more than a base hatred of men and anything masculine. It's a gender analogue to the Conservative belief that the only way to win an argument is to diminish what you are arguing against instead of making your own case.

Feminism is not about women being better than men. It's about women having the same rights, privileges, freedoms, responsibilities, opportunities, and place in society as men. It's about everyone having an even playing field in every aspect of society. Sadly, we aren't there yet, but it's something worth fighting for.

Women going topless or naked as a form of political expression is hardly new. This is nothing more than an updated version of the infamous bra-burners, protesting against male-imposed views of the appropriateness of breasts and the double-standard about the propriety of showing a certain amount of flesh. Seeing a woman's breasts does absolutely nothing for me sexually or aesthetically. It's a woman's choice how much or how little she wants to expose as far as I'm concerned. And for those who are offended by a topless woman, those who are easily offended should be more often.

And one last thing about your word choice. Is "little boys" just your misandry showing through? Or are you once again just belittling people who disagree with you by calling them immature? I hate how certain people on here are reducing "man" and "boy" to base epithets. It's no different from the p-word, the c-word, the b-word. It's using a reference to one's gender as an insult and it doesn't belong in reasoned debate. But then again, this isn't reasoned debate, it's DU.
