Sooooo, this is feminism?------Women to parade topless through New York in the name of feminism

Women to parade topless through New York in the name of feminism - Life & Style - NZ Herald News: "Women will parade topless through the streets of New York on Sunday, flashing their breasts in the name of feminist liberation as they celebrate annual GoTopless Day.
The marches are organised by women's rights group GoTopless, which campaigns for women to be able to go shirtless across the world.
Women go topless in one of the previous year's protests. Photo / YouTubeIt is already legal for women to bare their breasts in public in America's biggest city, and police will seal off the route of the parade from Columbus Circle to Bryant Park, organisers said.
Dozens of people are expected to take part when the march begins at 12.30 pm.
Parallel events will take place in Los Angeles' Venice Beach as well as other US and European cities.
"People should not feel that it needs to be a taboo" to go topless, said the head of the group's New York chapter, Rachel Jessee, who is also an actress, model and performer.
"It's a human right, and women should be created equally, but a lot of people view it as something very sexual.""
