Well said...thank you Sean. I appreciate your courage.
I imagine there will be so much smoke from the bra burning
ceremony, it will be difficult for anyone to speak.
I look forward to the male advocates of feminism to respond
to your questions with their customary enthusiasm for equality.

What law would a gawker be breaking? If a topless female is
revealing nothing in need of concealment then whey would this be
different than staring at, say, her arm? I fail to see how a person
staring is a threat unless you are suggesting that a man staring at a
woman's revealed breasts may indicate his willingness to verbally or
physically assault her. If that is the case, perhaps this is another
practical reason to say it's not a good idea to (un)dress this way.

Will all women's views of their rights be represented, or only a
feminist perspective on rights (and wrongs)? If both, then am I to
presume petitions will be on hand to both oppose and support the
ordinance's representation of "women's rights"? I suspect not, but I
may be presuming too much. Will there be speakers? If so, will
women of either persuasion on this issue be encouraged to speak?
