Topless Women March in Portland

Here's the story. Don't worry, the photo only shows the march as it passed (back view). I thought the caption under the photo was telling: "...They were promoting the freedom of women to be topless in public. The group attracted many amateur and professional photographers." Great time to become an "amateur photographer"! But the punch line came in a quote from the article:
"Ty McDowell, who organized the march, said she was "enraged" by the turnout of men attracted to the demonstration. The purpose, she said, was for society to have the same reaction to a woman walking around topless as it does to men without shirts on."
Enraged? To get society to have the same reaction to both topless men and women? Well, maybe if topless men and women looked exactly the same, there might be the same reaction, but since boys and girls ARE in fact different, there is naturally a different reaction. This simply illustrates the absurdity in some thinking today.
