Exactly right. Feminism isn't about the right to show our tits. It angers me when this idiotic "issue" shows up again.

You can tell the bullshit level by the number of men suddenly becoming ardent voices for "women's rights" --when public display of breasts is the issue.

(And Maralyn Chambers' observation that kissing a breast is an X rating while cutting one off is an R is spot on. By the way. The issue is violence against women. Or to be more specific: male impulse control problems)
