All we are saying, is give breasts a chance!

 
According to their website:
What is GoTopless.org?

We are a U.S.-based organization founded in 2007 by spiritual leader Rael and we claim that women have the same constitutional right that men have to go bare-chested in public.

"As long as men are allowed to be topless in public, women should have the same constitutional right. Or else, men should have to wear something to hide their chests" Rael, founder of GoTopless.org and spiritual leader of the Raelian Movement (rael.org)
 The Raelians, as you may recall, are a UFO cult who say that life on earth is the result of intelligent design. No not that Intelligent Design, but aliens. They hit the news in 2002 when they claimed to have cloned a human being, a baby girl that they called Eve. They also support genetically modified food and nanotechnology.

That image, BTW, is not of Raelians but of a group of Ukrainian feminists in 2011. I don't know if they are involved in the current troubles or not.
Kiev, Ukraine (CNN) -- "Our God is woman, our mission is protest, our weapons are bare breasts." It's the kind of political slogan that's bound to catch attention, particularly when it's dozens of topless women clutching campaign posters who are chanting it.
These are the women of Femen, Ukraine's topless female protest movement. Young women who believe that the best way to make their voice heard is through sheer bare-chested brazenness.
Femen's leader, 26-year-old Anna Gutsol, explains: "Our goal is active Ukrainian women who want to be involved in society and politics.
"We thought we'd create an organization where young girls could come and help others like them and help society. And the format we picked was this extremely sexy, bright way of presenting ourselves." Source:Jamiiforums
Damien's notes:
  1. I know you gay guys are disappointed that Go Topless Day does not encourage guys to go shirtless, but then guys don't need encouragement or a special day, right? That's the whole point.
  2. I am not sure that the Raelians really should be talking about intelligent design. Perhaps next time some reactionary school board in the States tries to shoehorn "Intelligent Design" into the science curriculum, opponents should invite crowds of Raelians to testify for the proposal. It is hard to see how even Fox News could make them look reasonable.
  3. And I guess with the Raelians and the Femen, this is a sort of two-for--the-price-of-one post. You're welcome.
