Men To Be Cited For Women Baring Breasts

Inequality This story in the Houston Chronicle details Houston's efforts to cut down on Mardi Gras revelry this year by citing any woman who bares her breasts and any man who holds a topless woman on his shoulders for disorderly conduct. Apparently, the police believe women's bare breasts are responsible for starting riots. My question: why cite the men? It's the women who are baring their breasts.

Don't you know? It is men who cause women to show their breasts, just like it is men who cause women to have abortions, rape, murder, pillage, plunder, abuse, engage in fraud, cheat on exams, cheat on spouses, have kids, spray-paint "we rape" on dorms, become terrorists, stay at home, go to work, wear dresses...I can go on....

You sexist patriarchial opressor! Why it's the prurient interest of males that causes this; since women have no power they are FORCED by men to do this to begin with, to enslave themselves to males sexually for protection from a cruel and opressive society!

Why, if there were TRUE justice, no woman would recieve a ticket, and ALL men present would recieve a ticket for any offenses, because ALL men oppress ALL women in this way!

And suggesting that women in any way should be responsible and accountable for their actions?!?!?! You MALE-CHAUVINIST PIG! HOW DARE YOU?

I think I've summed up the pheminist response nicely.

I believe it was Ashley Montagu who said that "All good things in men come from women and all bad things in women come from men". The man on whose shoulders the woman sits is the Proximate Man. Always blame the Proximate Man and force him to pay for whatever.

Ironically, Ashley Montagu was the American Humanist Association's Humanist Of The Year in 1995. Does the AHA even read its own manifestoes?

The cops are being hen pecked by groups of flat chested women.

Support feminism.
Flat women need love too.

Did you know that in the province of Ontario(Canada), it is completely legal for women to bare their breasts ?

On the Toronto water front (lake Ontario) women go topless all the time, weather permiting.
We have no riots up here.
Do you have riots in your strip clubs?
In your pornographic theaters?
Sounds to me like a clear case of blaming victims for the actions of few brain dead drunk-and-disorderlies, You should be careful of letting the teenagers dictate your laws to you.

    I remember when that was made legal. Tons of women getting all hot and bothered about their "rights" and all that to bare their breasts. Then when the law passed I never heard a peep. I figured it was another round of women demanding the right to do what they would never do if no-one ever told them they couldn't.

I wonder what would happen if all the men in Ontario demanded the right to bare their willies in public.

Now THERE's a thought!
