Going Topless!

[piggynose]

They must be mad! Surely Berlin doesn't get that hot in the summer!
So we're they right to allow women to go braless?

Nothing to do with heat. I wouldn’t bat an eyelid if a woman sunbathed topless, but I don’t want to see everything hanging out while she’s walking around.

Men too. Put your massive bellies away. No one wants to see that.

"Berlin doesn't get that hot in the summer"

Hence the expression Colditz.

“I agree, Hopkirk. Much of the time I just think 'Oh do put them away woman!'”

I’m wondering where Naomi spends most of her time :-)

I’ve always thought it rather objectionable that people should be expected to cover up just because they aren’t photo models.

Is it not a question of modesty, though? And self-respect?

[Old_Geezer]

Not really. If a bloke can leave his pecs out, why can't the gals leave their mammaries out. Sauce for the goose and all that.

[10ClarionSt]

Men aren't allowed to walk round shirtless in the USA. Not in a lot of states, anyway.

[Old_Geezer]

Yeah, but we aren't on about the backward nations at present. They'll catch up someday.

Breasts are natural and beautiful. I would think women would enjoy the freedom from a restricted garment. No big deal really it is 2023 not 1923.

There are plenty of places in Berlin where you can nude sunbathe etc. I don't see why someone needs to be topless to go swimming.
