American Mirror; A Missouri judge ruled Monday that Springfield city officials don’t have to “Free the Nipple” if they don’t want to.
Chief Judge for the Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Lavinski Smith, penned a legal opinion that upheld a Springfield ordinance that bans women from going topless in public, writing that the ordinance “substantially related to its important governmental interests in promoting public decency and proscribing public nudity to protect morals, public order, health, and safety,” the Arkansas Times reports.
While “three appeals court judges made the ruling,” KY3 reports, “the full 11 judge appeals court could still review the case.” more here
Yay!!
Ew.
You know it’s going to be fatties who are going to expose themselves.
Kind of like most nudists.
It’s NEVER the ones you want to see.
The mentally deranged and hideous looking exhibitionists are eyesores while clad and an absolute assault on our vision while not. Thankfully Missouri must have found a judge who still clings to sanity.
Purple haired anarchists lost today.
…just curious if the pro-nip side would have insisted on a line of burkas with stategic cut-outs being made available, too…
“We think that one and other ones like it are based on old stereotypes that are just not based in fact,” Rothert said, adding that the law prohibited both men and women from going topless before it was changed in the 1930s, when people viewed men and women as fundamentally different.
“But time has shown us that’s not true,” he said. “Men and women are equal … and we really hope to bring equality and justice across the board to Springfield.”
Sorry Idiot, men and women are still fundamentally different. Time hasn’t changed that.
Springfield is awash in fags, meth-heads, and morons.
So, “freeing the nipple” appeals to whom, exactly?
More titillation (heh, heh) for the perverts who are aroused by pedophilia, miscegenation, fagism, S&M, “free” nipples, and public depravity.
Another attempt at “defining deviancy down.”
izlamo delenda est …
Missouri: There will be no baring of boobs here.”
California: ” yeah shit wherever you like.”
No wonder there’s a vast gulf between the left & the right.
In reply to Anonymous at 12:37 am – Toronto, Ontario Canada has allowed since the mid-80’s, women to go bare-breasted should they so desire in the summertime. As my brothers commented at the time (and have been proven right) “Why is it all the old, ugly, fat skanks who bare their saggy breasts? Why do young, slim, beautiful women cover themselves up?” I replied that young, slim, beautiful women know their value and have respect for same.
Lazlo’s Yiddishe-Mama used to say: “If it’s not for sale, don’t hang the signs out”
Everyone will be expecting a parade of Hooters Girls while in reality it’ll be some homely women with breasts so ugly and misshapen that nursing babies would spit them out.
Nips that jiggle when they walk, dangling somewhere between their belt and their knees, never appealed to me any way.
