Topless Measure Voted Down

Amid all the midterm election issues in the United States last week, there was a vote that struck a blow for gender equality.

Voters in Pittsfield, Massachusetts shot down a measure that would have given the same rights to females as males when it comes to topless.

Around seventy percent of the voters rejected a measure that would have allowed women to walk around town topless.

The nonbinding question urged the district's state representative to introduce legislation amending the state's nudity definition.

Under the proposal, females of any age would be allowed to be unclothed from the waist up in public anywhere males are allowed to be similarly undressed.

Organizations such as GoTopless.org have urged cities to pass measure to allow women to exercise their freedom to go topless just as men.

Currently such cities as Boulder, Colorado, South Beach, Miami Beach, Florida, and Portland, Oregon are allowing women to exercise their topless rights.

In addition, we can't forget such events as Mardi Gras and Fantasy Fest. We will keep you abreast of further developments.
