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.

  You're obviously female, and you're obviously trolling.

  And, by the general tone of your post, you're obviously misogynistic, and obviously have an ax to grind with at least some women in your life. How does it feel to be on the other end of the stereotype cattle prod ?

  It's well accepted that the breasts of female humans (specifically) remain engorged at all times in an effort to emulate the buttocks and appear sexually appealing.

  Yeah, a hundred thousand freaking years ago. Grow the fuck up, caveman.

  Who cares if breasts are made to be sexually attractive or not ? Do you think these tiny bikinis, skin-hugging dresses or fishnet tops aren't meant to be sexually attractive ? And yet are any of these illegal ? Claiming that it's the woman's responsibility to not incite sexual arrousal in men "for their own safety" is the same kind of retarded argument being made in shithole middle-eastern countries to keep women indoors unless accompanied by a man and to force them to wear hijabs.

  Women have been going topless on european beaches for decades. And men and women have been going topless or even fully nude in natural settings, saunas, and even city parks in some countries for just as long and even longer. Have generations of children been traumatised ? Have any of those countries turned into a rape-fest ? In fact, the levels of sexual assault in these countries are way lower than in those shitholes were women's clothes and whereabouts are heavily controlled by law.

  And I don't know about the OP, but in my case, I'm a man. A grown man.
