Common counter
arguments:
1. Religious, morals
reasons- What is indecent
to one is not indecent to
others and thereby should
not be in law. One's
religion should not oppress
others. This is a civil rights
issue.
2. Increased rape- Rape
predates clothing options
and historical indecent
areas like knees, elbows,
miniskirts, head coverings
and ankles. Criminalizing
3. General disgust- It is
illegal for women to go
topless in most cities, yet
you can buy a magazine of
a woman without her top
on at any 7-11 store. So,
you can sell breasts, but
you cannot wear breasts, in
America. -Violet Rose
4. Concerns for childrenTeaching children that the
breast is not sexual,
women should have
freedom and autonomy
over their bodies as men
do and being exposed to
such can prevent children
from developing harmful,
sexist conclusions about
the human body.
