But in NYC, you really don't want to do that. With all the fucked up, grab-happy people slithering around the cityscape, maybe a shirt is not such a bad idea.
In New York state, men and women have equal rights. Therefore, there is not a single law that specifies that something can be done by men, but cannot be done by women.
@Niko Bellic: Yeah, maybe this lady should get a different lawyer for future legal problems because it sounds like she won him in a Cracker Jacks box, based on the statements he's making.
In some states, the statute is written to say pubic hair which though I know of no one who has tried, but theoretically a shaven person would be within the law and I can think of one place, where it's only illegal to ride a motorcycle without a shirt.
So when I see Carrie Prejean astride one of the chrome eagles of the Chrysler Building, arms aloft, shirt open, waiting for Satan's Wind to take her ta-tas on the wing, I shouldn't call the cops? Because I know a few who would like to see that.
[C]ase law protects mere nude physical activity — like calisthenics and ball-playing — from lewdness charges.
Someone needs to explain this to the transit cop on the F train. I just wanted to loosen the old hammies. It's not my fault the lady behind me got offended by the "full-on turkey neck" (as the judge described it).
"the lawyer says that the only things ladies cannot legally do topless are sunbathing"
I think the 1992 acquittal of the Rochester "Topfree Seven" set the legal precedent that topless sunbathing IS protected in New York State: [en.wikipedia.org]
@notsayin: In fact, the point is that women are allowed to bare their chests in all situations and places in which men are allowed too. It's about protecting women from discrimination.
"I'm not ashamed of my body," Brown told Cosmo. "I work hard enough to keep it in shape. When you go to the beach, you automatically seek out the best bodies, female and male. Why should it be different in a magazine?"
That swinging 70's bisexual chic hung over into the 80's, I suppose.
