Victory for topless bathers

A swimming pool in northern Sweden has said it will allow women to bathe topless, following a campaign by feminists.

A spokesman for the pool, part of Sundsvall's municipal leisure centre, said that employees there had decided they would not act if women tried to bathe semi-naked.

"We're used to naked people. Nobody cares," Per-Erik Ulander told local paper Dagbladet, adding that women could still be asked to cover up if other bathers take offence.

The Bara Bröst network - which translates both as 'bare breasts' and 'just breasts' - last year started its campaign for women to be allowed to swim without tops by stripping off at a pool in Uppsala. The protesters were ejected from the pool. Since then, campaigners have launched protest actions across the country, which have usually resulted in them being asked to leave.

The decision by the pool is the first real victory for the group, which has around 40 members.

"This is positive," said group member Ragnhild Karlsson to news agency TT.

The group faced a setback in November after the Swedish sexual equality ombudsman (Jämo) ruled that it was not discriminatory for women to be banned from bare-breasted bathing. Karlsson rejected the ombudsman's conclusions:

"The only sensible thing is to have the same rule for men as for women. If women can't be without a top, then men shouldn't get away with it either," she said.

Usually I don't like MSF movements but I'm all for this! Out of respect for (some) of my readers, I will not post any pictures of how it looked (I'm sure you can find them with a little googeling). I come from a part of the world where nudity is seemed as something natural and not noteworthy (in some places, like a sauna, we don't go around naked all the time. The arctic temperatures would not be good for your self esteem. At least not if you're a man...).
Sunbathing topless is concidered perfectly normal on the beaches in Europe, so why not at indoor swimmingpools?
Women bodys are sexually arousing because they are covered up- not the other way around! That's why muslim men tends to start drooling over an exposed ancle! They are sexually frustrated to the point that a exposed belly button for them is an invitation for a gang rape!
So give me more bare breasts. They are NOT a sexual organ. But I like them anyway, and given time I would stop staring I'm sure... Well maybe not.
