Is this taking sex equality too far ???

OK, so i might be vacationing in Malmo next, BUT isn't this taking PC too far ???????

Women in Malmö have been given the right to bathe topless in the swimming pools of Sweden's third largest city.

The final measure of the city's sports and recreation committee's that stated "everybody should wear bathing suits" at the local pool, though it does not specify that women must cover their breasts.

The Bara Bröst network - which translates both as 'bare breasts' and 'just breasts' - last year started its campaign for women to be allowed to swim without tops by stripping off at a pool in Uppsala. The protesters were ejected from the pool. Since then, campaigners have launched protest actions across the country, which have usually resulted in them being asked to leave.

The decision by the pool is the first real victory for the group, which has around 40 members.

The issue had been quite divisive for the city of Malmo, leading to political wranglings between the left and right, which ended with the issue being wiped off the agenda in April.

The city deemed it necessary to vote on after two years of controversy in Sweden over whether women should have to cover their breasts while bathing in community pools.

The Bara Bröst network swept to prominence in late 2007 after two bare-breasted young women were called ashore by a lifeguard at a swimming pool in Uppsala. When they refused to cover up, they were asked to leave the premises.

Speaking to The Local at the time, Ragnhild Karlsson, 22, explained the womens' motives for swimming without bikini tops.

"It's a question of equality. I think it's a problem that women are sexualized in this way. If women are forced to wear a top, shouldn't men also have to?"

Good point MissX, if the rights of the few didn't count, African Americans would still have to sit in the back of the bus, or not be allowed into certain restaurants or schools. Jews would still be banned from golf & yacht clubs, etc.

If the world didn't adapt when minorities pushed for change. We would still be living in world with slaves, where women were not allowed to show ankles, or allowed to have certain jobs or have the right to vote, along with black people, and racial discrimination would be rampant.

Perhaps the word "offend" is wrong.

I have no problems with naked breasts in Private or a selected area where like minded people congregate... In fact i welcome them.

In a public place, where you are catering for the masses, they could cause offence, excitement, chaos, shame, embarrassment.

In a public place, the rights of the many, outweigh the rights of the very few.

This topic is about equal rights..

My opinion is that the laws and rights should be more balanced than equal, coz men and women are never equal they are just balanced

I dont think its good to be nude in the public, and i read lot of comments saying "if others doesnt like then let them dont look" and "let them lock themselves in their houses" and soo on.. was just wondering if she or whoever said, wanted to lock the whole public out there, who doesnt want to see indecency in public, just so as she can walk indecently in public.. ??

In a representational system Brit, your MP speaks for you, if you don't want an MP who's part of the PC Brigade then don't elect him, the fact that there were that many members of the PC Brigade in the parliment means that, yes, the majority DO suppost the issue.

I think breast feeding should be allowed in public, if carried out discreetly..However,you are missing the point I am trying to make.. I said that if a majority agreed , then i would go along ..

It seems a little dramatic to have a referendum, and frankly if they did that in Canada there would be on outcry about the waste of tax payer dollars over so inconsequential an issue. There's nothing in the article to say that the majority were against women bareing their boobs at a public pool (especially since they already have the right to do so at public beaches)all it says was that the group LOBBYING was only 40 people strong, that doesn't mean more women didn't want it. Also, when it went to a vote the government voted in favour, which means since an MP or house representative is supposed to speak for his/her riding, that the majority of Sweden WAS ok with it.

So you're ok with allowing public displays of affection between gays & straights (ie: them making out in public) then you are with bareing a pair of boobies at a public pool (where previously they had only been covered by a thin piece of clothe anyway). What would you say about women being allowed to breast feed in public?

But whats the difference between a gay pride parade, scientologists trying to recruit people (theres a word that start with P that I want to use, but I've only have one cup of coffee today and can't spell it to save my life) and some woman wanting to bare their boobies.

Not really, we're talking about protecting human rights as based in a countries constitution, my guess is that there complaint has a foundation in the Swedish constitution.

I was more addressing your point of the "majority" calling the shots. It's not really true. A minority of people are disabled,yet in many countries we now have firm laws in place to help and protect them. Ditto the rights of single Moms, common-law marriages, gays & any minorities really.

But that's exactly my point Brit. Societies norms and rules change depending on what the people want. There is obviously enough of a calling for it, for governments to consider it. It doesn't always have to be the majority pushing for it, for a rule to change. They take into consideration the amount of people who are for it, and the consequences of it. No matter how many times people say they are offended by something, does not actually make it a harmful act.

Well if there's a call for it, then why not? At the moment there's barely any mass interest in going completely nude, and those that do, seem satisfied with nudist colonys. You don't seem to understand, that what is strange to us now, might not be so strange 100 years from now. Just as what we wear today is completely alien to those 100 years ago and so forth.

Just because a wacho lady expresses her bizarre thoughts to parade nude around her children, have swinger's party and do things contradicting to human instinct, doesn't mean we have to defend and argue for as long as 4 pages!

As Gypsy said, she had been exposed to the same environment by her mom. I doubt if someone still has questions as to why Gypsy thinks that way!

Gypsy is a girl and she used to see her mom's assets which doesn't mean anything to her sexually. Her thoughts cud've been different if she wud've been exposed to seeing her dad's assets. A she said, her brothers were not subjected to same scenes when they grew up!....may i ask why?

I've known from some sources that among animals too, a very large majority of them don't allow "outsiders" to wander around their own mates! A pig i suppose is the only animal to allow it's mate to be screwed publicly by other fellow pigs. Are we down to the levels of a pig??

Cavemen did initially live naked but as they evolved, they felt the need to cover themselves up. This again was a human instinct!

Your thoughts can't change the world. A child is not given a knife to play with and they ain't exposed to sexuality at a tender age, else the outcome is Gypsy and the Swedish people!

At the end of days, mankind's "humane" instincts will be so bizarre that they wud even follow a lizard right into its hole!!

A NUDIST'S pile of abandoned beach clothes sparked a full scale emergency alert after rescuers feared she'd drowned.

Worried tourists spotted the garments and called in the emergency services who scrambled a HELICOPTER and sent in TWENTY-FIVE rescue workers.

They swept the coast for THREE HOURS looking for the woman in Furstenfeldbruck, Germany.

But naked Karen Drechsler had just wandered off to another part of the beach.

When she spotted a chopper circling overhead she was too embarrassed to return for her clothes.

A rescue worker said: "She saw all the police, the coastguard and the helicopter and she thought someone must be in trouble. She didn't imagine they were looking for her.

"She wanted to wait until they'd all gone before she retrieved her clothes. But the longer she waited, the more police arrived."

All Western countries allow women to wear hijab and Muslim dress, there is only a partial ban on wearing religious symbols in government run place in France & Germany.

What happened to the Egyptian lady was an unfortunate isolated incident and until he killed her she was WINNING her case, so the lawyers and judges were on her side, could I take someone to court for using hateful language to me here? Her crime was an unfortunate hate crime by a SINGLE man who wasn't willing to allow others the right to live their lives as they see fit (like you).

If you can empathize you'll be able to imagine that wife-swapping is a self-destruction practice. Those who do it actually surrender to a temporary instinctive behaviour that will lead them to eventually disrespect each other. Very distrurbing and disgusting.

Yes, I think if two people want to "swap wives" in the privacy of their homes, yes, it doesn't harm anyone.

I also believe people should be allowed to practice their religions freely.

I actually don't care too much for my own freedom or myself because if I did then I wouldn't care if people could practice their religions or swap wives because I don't do either.

I haven't decided at all whats good and bad, I look at a situation and I see if it hurts others, I apply reason and empathy.

It's you whose decided that A) wife swapping is bad B) Nudity is bad C) homosexuals are bad D) captial punishment is good etc.

So everything you just accused me of is everything you're doing.

At the end of the day, those people (wife swappers, nudists, homosexuals) that you hate so much would be the first people to stand up for your rights to practice your religion and your beliefs freely, and you would see them shot.

I wife swap always???

The thing about "wife swapping" salman is that it's something couples do because they BOTH agree to do it, so if a man doesn't want to get involved in "wife swapping" then he doesn't have to. If he does want to do that then I'm sure he is happy that his wife is into it.

As for the child, if you raise them without the idea that sex is wrong and immoral, then the child shouldn't mind anymore then a child minds that his/her parents have sex at all.

looool the perfect reply to Gypsy not having a problem with women going topless is that "everyone in Sweden has already seen each others private parts. everybody has had sex with different ppl from the schooling" and that "there is no moral values"??

Gypsy, you know y Sweden has permitted now why not before? because now in sweden mostly ppl have seen each others private parts. everybody has had sex with different ppl from the schooling. nothing is to be hide coz there is no moral values and nobody especially girls are avoiding sex. then after they reached to this point to make it permitted.

if you see someone naked at first for sure you will feel something to do but if you have been seeing naked everybody like father, mother, sister, daughter, son, and street ppl and having sex all the time with everybody so definitely it will be nothing for you.

Not sure how. In Sweden it's socially acceptable for a woman to bear her breasts, there is an organized group calling for it, it doesn't hurt anyone, there's no hygene issue, so it should be allowed.

There is no group calling for sex in public, nobody wants it and its potentially hurtful because there's the issue of biological fluids spreading disease.

I'm pretty sure I'm not being contradictory in the slightest.

No, but adoptions these day aren't just grabbing a random kid from an orphanage. There's records, permits, etc. The chances of this happening are so tiny as to be nearly immpossible (I won't say completely because I'm sure it's happened once or twice before).

I don't think it's a simple as getting aroused when you see a naked body at all. People have lived for generations completely nude, and don't think anything of it. You do not automatically get aroused at naked bodies unless your own mind is conditioned to take you there. It can be unconditioned.

And to the people who said walking around nude leads to strange sex practices. So what if it does? Strange is the term that we give to something that doesn't happen very often. There doesn't mean there's actually any harm in it. And if you note, "doggy style" (sorry didnt know a more pc term), which can be actually considered a form of deviant sex by some religions, is actually our bodies most compatible position for having sex, just like it is for animals who have anatomy in similar positions.

By fluffy123• 29 Jul 2009 07:57
fluffy123

if people start walking around nude it opens up the door to a number of things. one of them is being increased sexual harasses from both sexes. and i don't mean rape or anything. but things like groping and crude things being said. now people say well after a while people will just get use to it. but the fact of the matter is being naked is just part of sex. it's something that is natural. it doesn't have anything to do with society setting standards. when you see a naked body that you like you get aroused. it's as simple as that.

even cave men would wear something on their bodies. even if it was a dead animal they would cover themselves.

Sweden, like many other European countries, are more socially acceptable to women's breasts. They are viewed not ONLY as a sexual object(as they are in most parts of the world, but as breasts...a body part. I've been on beaches where some European women wrap a towel around their waist to cover their lower parts and just take the top off and change clothes in front of others. It was no big deal. I, as an American, am more shocked by that behaviour but understand that its totally acceptable in certain parts of the world.

I believe in the RIGHT to allow toplessness if that country/city wishes to allow it. Its not a sogn of immorality, just different way of thinking.

QL..you said, "There have been nudity and porn movies and playboy magazines for decades yet the rate of rape is still high." What is not understood is that these kinds of things (except the nudity part) is what can CAUSE minds to go into a rapist mode. The portray women in unnatural circumstances and as sex objects ONLY. That creates such a bad image for men, both young and old.

What do you thing about this:

-We believe that human can not live without freedome.

-Freedome is thing which makes us human.

-Freedome without limits causes chaos.

-Chaos destroys communities.

-Freedome limits is others rights

So if you want to do something which some people do not like do one of the following:

1. Go to place where there same people like you

2. Do it so that no one sees you.

3. Do not do it at all.

At the end if you come from an evironment where f**King each other is normal you will see it normal.

But really can you accept your child to be in environment where the men are having relation with each other or do you accept it for your daughter to be environment where women are having s*x with women.

Do you like your girl friend to have an affair with your father?

Do you like boy friend to have an affair with your mother?

You are the one who choose to live in a life full respect or life like a shit where there are nothing good or bad.

Do you think that those who study and work hard to help in their country development are the same as those who do not study and do not work?

A mother which raises her children properly, is she the same as mother who knows nothing about her children? (The same applies for the fathers).

I'll add an element of realism into this then Brit. I have no problem going topless at beaches, and often do. The only reason I don't walk down the street topless, is because it is the path of least resistance not to. When there are people who so blatantly judge people on how much skin they expose, it is a lot easier to just not provoke them. If someone were to walk down a public street topless, I would admire them for their courage to do so.

Gypsy actually speaks for a large amount of people on QL. We sit back and watch because she she can usually say it better than any of us.

There are people who believe in things, simply because they have been told to believe in it. Bare breasts do not actually cause harm, and if you go and think about it, you may realise the truth in it. Social conditioning is running rampant with your belief systems. It's like no one ever told you Santa Claus was made up, so you continue to cling with everything you have to the idea of him.

If i accept as said by Gypsy, Sweden has ruled to go topless in public places. then i should say, in West ppl are living like an animal. whatever they want to they are doing. there is nothing called Society. all family members are living naked in front of every body. do u think they have moral respect of each other. the relation ship in between family members are more worst in west.

I googled immediately and these people who were nude at a pride parade were allowed to go free.

http://tntmen.abuzar.net/tnt/news/f33.html

"a conviction would have been legally impossible without showing “a reasonable apprehension of an identifiable, substantial risk of harm to on-lookers or society.” He said, “The Ontario Court of Appeal ruled in the 1996 toplessness case of Gwen Jacob that it’s not enough for the Crown to merely speculate about harm, nor to rely on the fact that some individuals complain they are offended.” The court stated in that case, “No one who was offended was forced to continue looking at her.”

Nope in many Provinces women have the right to walk down the street topless, go to public pools topless & sun bathe in a public park topless as long as it's not for commercial use. I'm afraid I can't find a link to that actual law, but in many provinces it's legal for men & women to be completely nude as long as they are wearing protective footwear (strange I know).

Topless bathing in specified places is one thing.. it usually means that "like minded people" and a few voyeurs congregate there..

What we're talking about here is topless bathing in a public pool .

Rape isn't about boobs, it's about power. A rapist doesn't care if a woman's got nice tits or no tits. So no I don't think the rape rate will decrease. The only way that will decrease is to look at the root causes of men's need to dominate women.

However, I don't think rape rates will increase either.

By QatariLady• 27 Jul 2009 09:24

There have been nudity and porn movies and playboy magazines for decades yet the rate of rape is still high. The 17-year-old young man doesn't care if everone else is seeing nudity as a normal thing. To him it's a new experience because of his physiological changes regardless of the norm in the society. The rate of rape will increase at least among teens.

Exactly what Gypsy said

"the more we see these things the less sexualized they become"

Women seem to have to bear the brunt of men sexualising every part of our bodies. To the point where Abayas exist. No don't fix the thoughts of sexually repressed men who can't look at women without lusting, instead make the women wear an unflattering black sheet from head to toe and hide her indoors.

It's an insult to all men, to assume men can not look at a woman without sexualising her, because I know that there are many men who can look at women without having any sexual urges. The more one sees nudity, the less they will associate sex with it.

I didn't say it would. However I really just don't see the point in keeping them covered.

Gypsy, why should women "numb" their sexuality? It's not like this will decrease the incidents of rape etc

Are breasts no longer the holy grail of every teenage boy?

Good Fortune always comes knocking at your door...when you are sh*tting in the toilet!! :)

I think the more we see these things the less sexualized they become. I think nothing of seeing a woman walking topless down a beach in Cuba, and after a while my brothers even stopped noticing them (in my experience the women who flaunt them are usually the ones who's boobs you don't want to see). Kids especially don't even notice them.

johnpur - what happened to the barber/orthodontist/dermatologist...bits/bells? Hey, I dont judge (teehee)

britexpat, I agree. This is not sexual equality.

FS, Do u say shameless women just bcoz it bothers useless men?

Come on , even if you are covered and go to certain places it will bother some men.

But to be on the safer side, women can avoid being topless in a public place.

Both men and woemn should be covered.If it is a shame, it is a shame to both the genders.

IMHO , this is the type of action that gives the "sex equality" movement a bad name...

:) Their reasoning is silly, men dont have anything to cover up (on the top). Sexual freedom, yes. Sexual equality?? Why dont they just go to nude beaches. Next we'll have men walking all over with their bits hanging out.

we are not talking about specialized beaches, but a public swimming pool. I personaly believe that this is going too far.

Shameless women....

Gyps... it wont bother you usless you are a Les...which you are not. It does bother many men!!

I've been to lots of places where topless sun bathing and swimming is the norm. Doesn't really bother me to be honest. Breasts are just breasts.

Maybe this goes with what you said in the other thread that women wish to compensate for sexism!.. Can't be managers, they can go topless! Inferiority complex.
