inequality

The dentist didn't kill me or even really hurt me that much. He never does so I don't know why I greet my release from the chair with such a mixture of relief and surprise.

On the way home from work this evening I was struck anew by the discrepancy in clothing shown when the weather warms up. Why is it that men can walk topless around the streets unchallenged, regardless of BMI but if a woman strips down to even her bra she can get arrested? There will never be gender equality until a 20-stone woman can walk down the Kentish Town Road with her mammaries swinging free in the breeze and her shorts resting only half-way up her bottom and think nothing of it...
