Who is actually against women being topless if they want to be?
It has always puzzled me why it is illegal for women to be topless if they want to be especially in the correct settings like at the beach or pool and or other places where generally it is ok for guys to not wear a shirt.

My pastor said we only cover women's breasts in public be god made the areolas to appear like giant eyes to ward off predators. Since women usually have larger ones this can cause panic and fear in horses

My friend never knew the difference between 'infer' and 'imply' which was never a problem until he opened a club called Disco Implyno.

A page from the first Molesworth book. The text reads:
β€œST CUSTARD'S: BY THE CAMERA CLUB
grabber who is head of the skool captane of everything and winer of he mrs joyful prize for rafia work. His pater is very rich and hav a super rolls enuff said. He is bigger than me so i must be careful.
Our skool dog thinking. He is planning to dash across the pitch and pinch the criket ball then bite the umpire in the leg which was super.
He is not bad but he scored a gole against us in one match.”
The two illustrations are by Ronald Searle. Grabber is every bit as you would expect: haughty, disdainful, holding a football under his arm. The skool dog has the furtive air of one about to pinch the criket ball ect ect chiz chiz
