Trust Me, the Outcome Would Have Been Far Different Had It Been

...BINGLEY half nekked in the street.

Court upholds woman’s right for topless protest
Florida resident believe nudity laws are applied unfairly to women

An appeals court has ruled that women can demonstrate topless as part of a legitimate political protest, striking down the arrest of a woman who has repeatedly flouted laws banning women from publicly going bare breasted.

...Book was arrested by Daytona Beach police and fined $253 during Bike Week in March 2004. The city said she violated an ordinance banning public nudity that was passed in 2002 to curb indecency at special events.

Shouldn't there be a "depending on what she looks like" clause?

Oh Mike, then you get into the whole "that's discriminatory against non-enticing wimmens/Bingley" thingee. Big lawsuit, time wasted, blahblahblah. So it's just the blanket rule for everyone ~ the Spockian "needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few...or the one.")

So everybody loses.

Are you saying Bingley would have been mobbed by eligible young women?

A mob in the Frankenstein movie/"Beat it with a stick before it gets away!!" sense, yes.

They wouldn't have banned her had she been Jessica Simpson. But this ladies breasts probably sagged to her knees.
