I remember in NYC a few years back people were making a fuss that if men can go topless women should be free to do so too. Not sure what came of that. I wouldn't be surprised if being topless wasn't a crime in many areas.

I'm guessing because breasts are not genitalia. Most indecency laws specifically say "genitalia". I've always heard it is perfectly legal for a woman to go topless here in Austin because of the way the law is written.

Grab a woman's breasts without her consent and tell her its cool because its not genitalia.

I'm not familiar with this supposed tradition of chicks flashing their tits at Mardi Gras.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Tax dollars pay their salaries. No titty flashes means smaller crowds obviously. Less tax revenue. they don't want a rep for being hardasses towards titty flashers.

Pretty sure it's not illegal to show your chest, if a guy can a girl can IMO. I would assume NO is one of the places it is legal.

I have seen Mardi Gras LEO's (?) on TV, and they said that a quick bewb flash would be ignored as long as she wasn't causing a crowd to gather. If a crowd gathers and impedes the flow of pedestrians, it becomes a disturbance, and the flashing female may be cited. On the other hand, as soon as a dude whips it out, he is cited immediately.

If a guy flashed his nutsack, he'd get beat down and thrown in jail for indecent exposure.

women aren't allowed to drop their pants either. if you watch COPS, you'll see that even boob flashing is frowned upon by the law enforcement officers, but you don't get (instantly) arrested unless you're dropping your pants, male or female.

You don't have to drop trow to show off your nutsack.
