Were you aware it is legal in 12 states for women to go top-free in public? To start, this is a small number, and second, many cities can and do override this with their own laws. Haha Not the same, I understand.) Women getting the equal right to go top-free wherever men can is a cause that is become more and more important in my experience. I think what disturbs me most is the pointless arrests and physical abuse that women go through for going top-free even when it's totally legal. Doesn't http://www.ocotillolot.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=freenudistpicture.net/2017/01/ have more important matters to worry about? (Seemingly not.) Phoenix Feeley has faced authorities and angry mothers in Coney Island for exercising her right to go top-free I lately met a kindred soul against this discrimination: Phoenix Feeley, and I asked Phoenix if I could interview her about her present challenge for top-free equality. Phoenix has been actively fighting for top-freedom since 2004 when she was falsely arrested in Nyc for being top-free in public. She endured physical mistreatment by the officers, spent 27 hours in jail and to top it all away, had to undergo a mental assessment. It is been legal in NY since 1992. The city apologized with a resolution of $29,000 when she sued. Since then she is been marching in top-free rallies in NYC, and today the courageous Phoenix is fighting charges in a state where it'sn't legal (yet), New Jersey. In 2008 Phoenix sunbathed without a top on the shore of Spring Lake as a form of civil disobedience. The police arrested her and inflicted physical abuse once more. An overweight guy had the gall to clap as she was getting detained, and Phoenix promptly responded, "Your boobs are bigger than mine!" She was given two charges of disorderly conduct, one for obstruction of justice, a charge of nudity and a charge of dressing/undressing, along with a $2,000 fine. "Limitations on the exposure of the female breast are supported by the important governmental curiosity about safeguarding the public's moral sensibilities." That's right, moral sensibilities! http://cpann.net/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=freenudistpicture.net/tag/topless/page/7/ is only trying to shield everyone from women's immoral breasts. As of this point the costs have been cut down to the nudity and dress/undress charges and the wonderful cut in half. "I will not pay injustice," she said, "You need to go all the way with it." And she's prepared to do that. Regrettably the Supreme Court only hears 10% of cases, and a previous top-free case further complicates matters. She fought for the right to go completely nude, but wouldn't testify for herself and lost. Regardless, Phoenix says if she can't get into the Supreme Court, she'll appeal to the Federal Court, and even go to prison if she's to! Are they wondering what the big deal is with showing breasts in America? So are http://awsat-a.org/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=freenudistpicture.net/2020/04/page/13/ . As we wrapped up our meeting, I asked Phoenix why top freedom is so particularly crucial that you her. She responded that she views it as a symbol of women's subordinate legal rights, which is one wall of discrimination that must be broken down. I concur! Some of you may have attended Dingbats for Freedom last month, Phoenix's magnificent top-free party and fundraiser geared toward helping her with all the legal fees. If you did not make it, you can still contribute and support her brave fight for women's right to go top-free wherever men can!
