Sweden’s third largest city has legalized topless bathing…at public swimming pools.
The City of Malmö decision after initially being asked to vote on a motion that would force women to cover up after a feminist group started appearing at pools topless. Instead they voted in an amended version that said that “everybody should wear bathing suits,” leaving the door open for topless bathing as long as the woman was wearing a bottom part of a bikini.
A council spokesman told The Local that “We don’t define what bathing suits men should wear so it doesn’t make much sense to do it for women. And besides, it’s not unusual for men to have large breasts that resemble women’s breasts.”
The leader of the feminist group behind the law said that “It’s a question of equality. I think it’s a problem that women are sexualized in this way. If women are forced to wear a top, shouldn’t men also have to?”

How does your comment relate to the story in any way? You sound a bit self serving. Perhaps I am wrong but you are not supposed to market yourself in the first comment of a story.

These fembots are so bass ackwards they can't see the difference between men being topless and women being topless.
For once, though, I agree with their semi-retarded agenda.
You heard 'em ladies! Tops off please.

Wow, I can't say I wouldn't mind but wouldn't those feminists groups want to cover up when all the guys are not swimming and just gawking at their titties? I mean we do it anyways but at least we can somewhat control ourselves a little if you're covered up. But seriously what is the big deal in covering your tits for a short time while at a public place? It's not that we (men) think you're not equal but based on male instincts and behaviour it's just helps us stay in check and not get all horned up and possibly act on those feelings in a poor way.

BREASTS! OMG!! THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS!
Seriously people, what's the real story here? That somewhere allows breasts to be seen in public, or that most western societies are so prudish and controlled that they consider the public viewing of bodies to be a major event?

Hey why only 1 picture?

That's pretty much the mentality behind the burkha. Can't have women expose too much otherwise men lose control, poor things.

Thats some good sideboob there.

This is not a new phenomena. In Ontario you have been able to appear topless in public places for about 10 years now. Occasionally you will catch a glimpse of a topless woman at the beach, or on walking trails along the river, but few really bother going topless

How pathetic. No wonder these countries are heading downwards.
“We don’t define what bathing suits men should wear so it doesn’t make much sense to do it for women. And besides, it’s not unusual for men to have large breasts that resemble women’s breasts.”” How stupid is this guy's logic!? Well for starters women's breasts are a symbol of sexuality unlike man boobs! Seriously retards, just doing whatever suits and satisfies their sexual drives. It's like we're living in a Zoo now!

Women has had the option to go topless at public beaches (and some pools) here in Sweden for decades, it has yet not made anyone get “all horned up” and made them “act on those feelings” somehow. If a man who seems a topless woman manages to lose control of their “instincts”, he is clearly insane.
In fact, the only reason this story is even a story is because the city of Malmö has quite a large populations of refugees from muslim countries. So in that sense, the burkha comment is spot on.

Indeed.
And really, it would not even be an event if it was not for the multi-cultural nature of Malmö.
