In 1996, Kayla Sosnow was hiking in the mountains with a male friend when they both decided to remove their shirts. Two forest rangers spotted the pair and demanded that Sosnow cover her chest. She refused to do so. Later, she said, "'I knew it was ridiculous that men had the right to go without a shirt and women didn't, so I was going to do something about it, which was just take my shirt off and be comfortable'" (Latteier, 1998, p. 161). Revealing her breasts that day cost her four days in a Florida jail, five months of probation, and over $600 in fines (p. 162). Even before Sosnow's absurd experience in 1996, people had been fighting to eliminate the gender discrimination involved in her case. Many of these people are proponents of â€"topfreedom†which â€"is the notion that women have the right to not wear a top in any situation that men also have that option†(â€"Topfree!,†2003). This article discusses the Topfreedom Movement and some of the arguments for and against its goals. |
