Female toplessness is legal in a lot of places in the US (although not where I live), and I’d be meeting the letter of the law with a couple of Band-aids. But I have a gut feeling that if I go anywhere that there are people—and particularly anywhere there are children—nobody’s going to be too happy about my Band-aids. The enforcement is social; women just don’t go around topless in the US.

It bothers me because it’s unequal, but it also bothers me in its implications: that my body is inherently sexual, and a man’s body isn’t. It feels like men are being viewed through the first-person lens of “it’s nice to feel the sun on my skin, and I don’t mean anything by it” and women are being viewed through the distinctly third-person lens of “it’s inappropriate for me, a heterosexual man, to see her sexy parts.” It ignores the experiences of people who are turned on by male chests and somehow manage to contain themselves when they see one.

About

The awkward stage where adults wonder why you walk in their territory, and the children mock you for treading on theirs. Welcome to the juxtaposition that is the world of teenage angst. Where all you want to do is hang onto the monkey bars while holding a dapper looking suitcase. I'm a teenager. I live in the limbo that is not yet adult not quite kid. Stuck forever reaching towards everything. This concrete jungle gym, is where I live and this blog is how I deal with it all. The inspiration, the trapping of memories that fade all too quickly, the angst, the longing, it all goes here. you just get to see it. enjoy. Any questions? Just ask don't be afraid i'm really very harmless. users online “O, full of scorpions is my mind” - the scottish play
