As regular<br \/>\n            readers know, breast discrimination is one of the Dowbrigade&#8217;s <em>causes<br \/>\n            celebres<\/em>, along with psychopharmacology and the <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/dowbrigade\/2004\/02\/19#a2712\">Church of the<br \/>\n            Days Later Savings<\/a>. Frankly, considering most of our lawmakers and<br \/>\n            enforcer are male, the fact that male breasts are not only OK in<br \/>\n            public but are prominently featured in billboards, in print advertising<br \/>\n            and on television while the female variety is verboten is, well,<br \/>\n            gay. After all, the only guys we know who actually squirm and feel<br \/>\n            uncomfortable around well-formed female breasts are, well, gay.<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s call a spade a spade (as well as see how many other groups<br \/>\n        can we offend here). Letting men take off their shirts in public while<br \/>\n        women<br \/>\n        can&#8217;t is a sign of the alarming penetration of the homosexual agenda<br \/>\n        into the upper reaches of the news and media ruling class in America.<br \/>\n        Getting women to bare their breasts in public is a valiant stand in favor<br \/>\n        of traditional values, healthy attraction between a man and a women,<br \/>\n        and a blow against gay marriage. So get with it folks, let this be the<br \/>\n        Summer of Liberation for Unleashing Beautiful Bouncing Breasts (SLUBBB).<\/p>\n<p>Here is the <a href=\"http:\/\/story.news.yahoo.com\/news?tmpl=story&amp;u=\/nm\/oukoe_odd_topless\">AP<br \/>\n          articl<\/a>e about the latest battle in the breast wars, a<br \/>\n        protest march in Daytona Beach, Florida. Of the thousands of breasts<br \/>\n        expected, only about a hundred showed up.&nbsp; Arrests were made.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\n          Daytona Beach officials had warned the protest would violate city ordinances<br \/>\n            against public nudity, disorderly conduct and obstructing sidewalks.<br \/>\n            The nudity ordinance requires a &quot;full and opaque covering&quot; of<br \/>\n            the nipple and aureola of a woman&#8217;s breast, in addition to half of<br \/>\n        the surface of the breast below the aureola.<\/p>\n<p> But after a federal judge refused to stop police from arresting female<br \/>\n          protesters who doffed their tops, only about 50 women made the march.<\/p>\n<p>  And only one, organiser Liz Book, took off her shirt. Book was immediately arrested<br \/>\n  and taken to jail, though a bare-chested man who marched was unmolested.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I don&#8217;t ever want to see another woman arrested because someone showed<br \/>\n  her breasts,&quot; said Book, a 42-year-old Brownie troop leader. &quot;Our<br \/>\n  breasts are not criminal.&quot;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>from the <a href=\"http:\/\/story.news.yahoo.com\/news?tmpl=story&amp;u=\/nm\/oukoe_odd_topless\">AP<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s difficult these days to stay abreast of the culture wars.
