Colorado city officials have removed a topless ban from city law that inspired a Free the Nipple lawsuit.

The Coloradoan reported that Fort Collins City Council agreed Tuesday to remove language in the public nudity code that barred women and girls over age 10 from exposing their breasts in public.

City officials say the ban is expected to be removed Sept. 17.

Officials say a district court judge and a federal appeals court have ruled against the policy in the past two years.

    I'm a man in my 50s.

    Sure you are.

    If believing that women have value other than as sexual objects, and deserve the same legal rights as men makes me a "pink-haired" activist, then so be it.

    I never claimed women deserved less rights. I actually agree with the ruling. I never asked for less rights. And I do believe that women have "value other than as sexual objects" too. I love my daughter and step-daughter dearly. I advise them all the time to stay far away from any relationship that might cause them dependence financially or otherwise. And all of this has absolutley jack shit to do with my original posting in this thread. You know, the one you ran off the rails on, to wit, my agreement with this:

    By your logic, the smaller a woman's breast is, the less sexually attractive it is.

    Nowhere did I say that the entirety of a woman's worth is her value as a sex object, just that many (who can) exploit their attractiveness to their own advantage.

    Sure you are.

    If being born in 1966, having a 'Y' chromosome in all my cells, as well as a functional penis and testicles doesn't make me "a man in my 50s," then what does?
