Title: I think they have a point

and should be supported!

Women go topless in protest

About two dozen women drew a crowd of onlookers when they shed their shirts and marched downtown in Maine's largest city to promote what they call equal-opportunity public toplessness.

Organiser Ty MacDowell said the point of the march in Portland was that a topless woman out in public shouldn't attract any more attention than a man who walks around without a shirt.

The Portland Press Herald reports that by the end of the march, more than 500 people had amassed - a mix of marchers, young men snapping photos, oglers and people just out enjoying a sunny, warm day.

Tinx ;)

Surely if they were 'supported' they wouldn't be topless!

Love these quotes attributed to her Tink. :)

"MacDowell said she was upset that many of the men were taking photos on their mobile phones at the spectacle."

She said: "I'm really upset by the men ... watching it like it's a parade."

Is that coffee I smell :)
