Not Canadian
Return to DiscussionsI am not Canadian, but I do support the cause. There are places where everyone should wear a shirt and pants. But, anywhere a man can go shirtless, women deserves that equal right. I am not saying they should, I am not even saying men should, all should have equal choices.
One thing I noticed, I am not the only non-Canadian on this FORUM. One third of the members are not Canadian (8 of 23 not/15 of 23 are). Evidently, it should be "Topfree World".
My reading of the legislation in Victoria, Australia, suggests there are no restrictions here, but the legal ability to be topfree is rarely taken up. A woman may occasionally remove her top at the beach to tan (in my experience, generally in a very quiet spot although it may be more prevalent at trendier beaches I don't get to) but is unlikely to do anything than lay on her towel or perhaps reach into her bag. Any more movement than that and the top goes back on.
There was only one exception (apart from CO locations) that sticks in my mind. I had taken my teenage niece to the local suburban beach, her in a bikini and me in my swim brief. We were throwing a tennis ball to each other in the water. Another girl walked past alone (similar age to my niece) with only bottoms on and entered the water close to us, almost as if she was looking for company. My niece made a subtle comment about her showing too much, but I was tempted to throw the ball in her direction to see if she wanted to join in with us. In the moment I chickened out from that thought. Perhaps my niece's comment was the deciding factor although I was tempted to challenge that thought through the invitation to the girl. After a short time she moved away. I was completely unaware of any legislation at the time, but in hindsight it seems she was doing nothing wrong legally, even if she was outside the cultural norm. I wish I had been a little bolder then.
