Swedish City Legalises Topless Bathing at Public Pools

Sweden’s third largest city has legalized topless bathing…at public swimming pools. The City of Malmö decision after initially being asked to vote on a motion that would force women to cover up after a feminist group started appearing at pools topless. Instead they voted in an amended version that said that “everybody should wear bathing suits,” leaving the door open for topless bathing as long as the woman was wearing a bottom part of a bikini.
A council spokesman told The Local that “We don’t define what bathing suits men should wear so it doesn’t make much sense to do it for women. And besides, it’s not unusual for men to have large breasts that resemble women’s breasts.”
The leader of the feminist group behind the law said that “It’s a question of equality. I think it’s a problem that women are sexualized in this way. If women are forced to wear a top, shouldn’t men also have to?”

+1 Sweden. They got it right.

you people seem to be forgetting something rather important
those who use public swiming pools tend to be rather older and larger than your minds are imagining.
good luck, you'll need it.

Also,
Would you like to see Yore Ma at the pool topless?
I think not. And neither would we.

Apparently the obesity rate in Sweden is around 9.7%.

So, that's like.. 8 million of these. And just under a million Mary Harney's.

The odds are in favour, imo.

are you willing to take that chance?
actually, after that pic I am, one ticket to Malmo please

Bingo. You don't move to Sweden if you're offended by naked skin.

Sweden and Denmark are the least religious countries in the world and I'd like to keep it that way.

Because it means moar boobage! ftw

Swedish women rarely sun bath topless anyway so this law will make little difference.

FYI go to the beaches if you wanna see the hotties.

Prof.Badass

Well it's only fair isn't it. It is blatant discrimination to allow men to walk around topless but to force women to wear tops.

Strange thing is, it seems to be mostly women who are against this equality. Why though? It's not like we want to force all women to walk around topless, just that those who want to should be given the choice.

I think that's great. Breasts are perfectly natural, don't see any problem with having them uncovered. Wish they'd bring a similar law here- on hot days, I'd have the ol' top off myself, no problem. But Ireland is too prudish and backward for anything like that to happen.

I don't get the big hang-up about nudity in general.

They can think what they like. Sure aren't they, rather than being the voice of morality, the ones making notable additions to statistics when it comes to violent and sexual crime in Sweden (esp in places like Malmo which have high Muslim populaiton)?

Then you don't know what you are talking about.

It's good that they do this, all this covering up of bodies etc, leads to insecurities and such. We all have bodies, don't get how poeple can be offended by showing some skin!
People become afraid to not cover up becuase they are not one of the tiny amount with perfect bodies, just not on!

Yes because we all want to see fat ugly women strip off. :rolleyes:

Are you serious? They're Lutheran Evangelist. Their religion affects their whole lives (in a non-religious way). They're even more repressed than us.

Personally, I'd love to see the less attractive women strip off and walk around, if only to annoy people like you. :rolleyes:

On issues like alcohol and drugs, yes, on sexuality, No. (Generalising obviously!)
