Wow, florida, that must be nice!!!
Yeah, I wouldn't wash the car top half naked in the driveway or anything either. But I don't think its obscene if some woman wanted to.
But thinking logically about it, why is it obscene in the first place?? I mean, naked bodies aren't obscene. What is obscene about being naked?? It seems silly to have laws saying that we must be clothed in public areas at all times. When you think about it, it seems strange. Babies are born naked into the world, and thats not obscene.
Its sort of the same with breastfeeding in public. Some people don't think it 'right' to breastfeed and ask mums breastfeeding to go somewhere 'private' or something.
Its funny how we try to hide the fact that we're mammals.
Oh well. I guess it depends on the culture. At one end of the sprectrum you have have the women in Afganistan etc having to wear the hajib and then some women in one of those 'tribes' in Africa going completely topless all the time. I even remember reading about a group of indigious people in the Amazon and there the women were naked all the time.
Kind regards
Meri
