Woman should be allowed to be topless in public.

Thank you for your response. You: "For starters. I'm sure you and I could agree that woman deserve specific rights related to child birth and other medical issues that men don't face. " Why yes, Of course. Men can't bear children. Let's transition this ever so slightly. A person makes a debate titled "Men should bear children, It should not only be limited to women, It is a double standard. " That is how you sound during this debate. As I said before, It cannot be helped. This particular situation is no double standard. I will explain what a proper double standard is later on in my response. You: " Let me remind you that most states have toplessness with woman legalized. " Slavery was legalized. Does that make it right? Abortion is legalized in some places. Does that make it right? You: "The only moral issue is the horrific treatment that women receive when trying to exercise their right and the blatant victim shaming that ensues. That's why I think it's actually a practical question. Practically speaking, There is no reason to have this restriction. " All of this boils down to one simple fact. The toplessness of woman causes huge attention, Mostly negative. You and I both know why. I don't think the average woman would think: "I really want to let my breasts out so they can be visible. I must remove my top to exercise my "right". Women who are proud of their breasts has no need to show it. Women who have class about themselves has no need to show it. Men who are proud of their penis size has no need to show it in broad daylight. Men who are uncomfortable with their body might keep a shirt on while going swimming. This also goes into the question of people's choices, Whether they do what they want to do. As I've stated previously, I do not care if a woman displays her breasts publicly. It is her body. I just do not see it as the brightest idea, For many reasons. A double standard would be men getting paid more than women for the same work. A double standard would be a man having sex with many women, And no one blinks an eye. He gets praised. Yet if a woman has sex with a lot of men, She's seen as a whore. The idea that women should not be topless is not a double standard, Again this cannot be helped. I must refrain from changing my mind about this because this is not a double standard when it has been the norm for a very long time. Perhaps punishing victims is bad practice, But the harasser is not all at fault here. If the woman does not want to be harassed, Then she shouldn't have her breasts out. Again, I am not making excuses for the man nor am I going to bat for the woman. You: "I'm a little bummed out now. " I'm sorry you feel that way. I don't understand how I've done a non sequitur. Everything I've stated has something to do with the topic at hand. I'm also sorry that you feel that I am sexist. To reassure you, I am far from that. I am not a chauvinist and I love and respect women. You created this debate topic, And I accepted it as "Con" meaning I disagree with women being topless, So I would understand if you think I am sexist. There's no way around that I suppose. I'm sure you would have accused any other person who took up this debate to be sexist. No matter. You: "Beyond simply winning this debate, I would suggest that you reflect a little more closely on your views and try to see the inconsistencies. " I'm glad that you think you've won. You are supposed to think that way about yourself. I'm glad for you. I'd reckon that I was pretty consistent from my very first round. I also laid down all of your inconsistencies in this round. I am all for equality. You have a misconception, But I can understand how you feel coming from the fact that I have an opposing opinion on this topic of the debate. I don't see women as property whatsoever. I've never degraded women throughout this whole debate. I even explained certain instances where exposing breasts would be allowed. Perhaps a nude beach, Or a party with adults. Conclusion: Women should not be topless in public, Especially if young children are around. It is inappropriate. The only appropriate time to be topless would be in the shower, At home, If they are sleep, Things of that nature. Side note, If I come off terse or nonchalant, Then it is because this topic is very cut and dry. Thank you for debating with me. Await your response. - L.
