Mmmm, I have the slightest inclination to travel to Sweden just to show off my boobs. As long as both men and women are comfortable with it, there should be no problem. Really, "perving" is only an issue for the boob-deprived.
The thing is neither men nor women are comfortable with it here. It wasn't men that complained the loudest and got the ones bathing topless thrown out and started this circus.
And to everyone shouting how great it is, and you get to see boobies, don't get your hopes up. It's only a couple of crazy feminists that are doing it at the moment to show that they've won, but they'll soon put their bathing suits back on. They had a pretty scary article in a Swedish newspaper that pretty much sums up what the results will be of this. And no it's not horrible fat people. This isn't America, we don't have fat people. It's old people. Water gymnastics is apparently very good for your joints when you grow older, and it's very popular, especially with old hags. They had a picture of a group of oldies in much too revealing swimsuits (that is, they did not consist of ten tons of concrete) with the text "Water gymnastics? Perhaps it will be performed topless in the future".
There you have it. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
And on how important things the feminists concentrate on here, it is not the laws that force only one gender to do something, or get thrown into jail, which we still have. No, that would be stupid. In one newspaper they had a series of articles, for I think a full week (one issue a day), about peeing. Yeah, you see, women can not stand up when they pee. They feel that was unjust. I just read the first part, but their they had one notice about a feminist organisation that had made a small tube allowing women to stand up and pee, "it feels very rewarding and free" one said, another claimed to feel released from the schackles that was imposed on her. Another quite long interview with a (male) doctor was about the importance to stand up while peeing, it is supposedly good for your mental as well as physical health, you stand and feel powerful and can squirt a little here, a little there, and since the urinary system is properly stretched out the bladder empties better. Yeah, that's the important stuff. The interviewer was also chocked and said there'd be a mess all over the place, but he proposed to make all toilets higher, so that they would be primarily used for standing up and peeing in. He thought that a splendid idea.
Yeah... That improves equality, and is good for womens rights, they shouldn't have to sit and pee, that's evil. The evil men has forced them too. Yeah. It's unfair.
