Should women be allowed to wear topless swimsuits (unikinis) at public beaches?
Members of the TERA, the Topfree Equal Rights Association, believe so. While we don’t necessarily anticipate the day with any enthusiasm, since we have always thought even attractive women generally look best in 1950’s-style one-piece suits, we believe the day is approaching when in most parts of the U.S. women will be allowed to “go topless” at public beaches. We hope if that day arrives that women will show some discretion. Just because one has a right to do something doesn’t mean one is doing the right thing in exercising that right. Lawyers have the right to advertise, thanks to a U.S. Supreme Court decision, but that doesn’t mean most of the lawyers who exercise that right are right in doing so — or at least in the way they do so.
