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.

    Actually if miniskirts and pushups are any indication, it's mostly going to be a lot of poor high-school girls competing for status in the only way they can without the money for pretty things: Dressing scantly.

    To put it in laymen terms, since bras and tight shirts were already dirt cheap, they weren't a "barrier of entry". So, the loosening of "market regulations" is going to benefit young and naturally symmetric women and those with enough money for a cosmetic surgery while hurting the ability of older and/or poorer women to compete over status and men.
