Topless protest succeeds ... sort of
In Portland, Maine, about two dozen women took off their shirts and bras and marched topless through town on Saturday. Their goal: To make it OK for women to walk around without their shirts on, the same way that men can. It's actually OK to do so under Maine law. Police don't consider it public nudity until genitals are exposed. There were no arrests during the march, the authorities said.
The organizer was furious, though, because several hundred men -- many of them armed with cameras -- were on hand to watch the protest. And by watch, I mostly mean "ogle."
