Did you know it is legal in 12 states for girls to go top-free in public? To start, http://nuke.lucatesta.it/LinkClick.aspx?link=https://purenudism2017.com is a smallish amount, and second, many cities can and do override this with their own laws. (Having only saw http://rockoracle.ru/redir/item.php?url=https://wildnudists.com , I feel like a suffragette counting the states that have given women the right to vote. Haha Not the same, I know.)

Women getting the equal right to go top-free wherever guys can is a cause that is become increasingly more significant in my experience. I believe what disturbs me most is the pointless arrests and physical abuse that women go through for going top-free even when it's totally legal. Doesn't everyone have more important things to worry about? (Seemingly not.)

Phoenix Feeley has faced cops and angry mothers in Coney Island for exercising her right to go top-free

I recently met a kindred soul against this discrimination: Phoenix Feeley, and I inquired Phoenix if I could interview her about her current battle for top-free equality.

Phoenix has been actively fighting for top freedom since 2004 when she was falsely arrested in New York City for being top-free in public. She suffered physical mistreatment by the officers, spent 27 hours in jail and to top it all off, had to undergo a mental evaluation. It's been legal in NY since 1992. The town apologized with a settlement of $29,000 when she sued.

Since then she is been marching in top-free rallies in NYC, and today the courageous Phoenix is fighting charges in a state where it'sn't legal (yet), New Jersey. In 2008 Phoenix sunbathed without a top on the plage of Spring Lake as a sort of civil disobedience. Law enforcement arrested her and inflicted physical maltreatment once again. An fat man had the gall to clap as she was getting arrested, and Phoenix quickly replied, "Your boobs are bigger than mine!" This quote circulated last year when her appeal was rejected by the state appeals court:

"Limitations on the exposure of the female breast are supported by the significant governmental curiosity about safeguarding the people's moral sensibilities."





That is right, moral sensibilities! The government is merely trying to protect everyone from women's wrong breasts.

As of this point the costs are cut down to the nudity and dress/undress charges and the great cut in half. Phoenix has appealed it to the 4th branch of the judicial system, the NJ Supreme Court, where this law can (and hopefully will) finally be changed. "I refuse to pay injustice," she said, "You have to go all the way with it." And she is prepared to do that. Sadly the Supreme Court only hears 10% of cases, and a preceding top-free case further complicates things. She fought for the right to go fully naked, but would not testify for herself and lost. Regardless, Phoenix says if she can not get into the Supreme Court, she'll appeal to the Federal Court, and even go to prison if she has to!

Are any Europeans reading this on their smartphone as they lay topless on their towel at the plage? Are they wondering what the big deal is with revealing breasts in America? So are we.

As we wrapped up our meeting, I requested Phoenix why topfreedom is so especially crucial that you her. She responded that she sees it as a symbol of women's subordinate legal rights, and this is one wall of discrimination that must be broken down. I agree!

Some of you may have attended Fools for Freedom last month, Phoenix's amazing top-free party and fundraiser aimed at helping her with all the legal fees. If you did not make it, you can still donate and support her courageous fight for women's right to go top-free wherever men can!
