I think my biggest concern with anti-nipple laws related to breastfeeding women. Toplessness has been legal in Canada for almost 20 years now, but almost no women go topless (yes, it's too cold 6 months out of the year). Outrage was started when a woman was arrested at a park for nursing her baby while her preschooler played. Her nipple was exposed for a quick second, and she was charged with indecent exposure. After that, there were mass protests, and of course, the religious right were clutching their pearls "Will someone please think about the children!". There were fears of topless women everywhere! But yeah, 20 years later, the only thing that has changed is that women can feed their babies without creepy cops harrassing them.
Frankly, I say who cares if women want to walk around topless all day!? What is the actual problem with that? This taboo about nude human bodies is outdated and silly and needs to be disposed of.
The creepiest thing about the people freaking out over breast-feeding is the fact that they're basically sexualizing it. They associate women's breasts/nipples exclusively with sex, therefore breastfeeding in public is seen as some kind of inappropriate exhibitionism that is damaging to children. It's insane.
Brought up in christianity, i can certainly attest to the insane purity culture around womens bodies. Even now, I struggle to talk to even the doctor about my 'unmentionables'. It's bloody ridiculous. People can literally die due to the shame around our bodies that makes us too embarrassed to see the doctor, all due to religious horseshit.
If we just stop being prude, we'll get used to it and it won't be that big of a deal. I liked that Stormship Troopers had a coed shower and they didn't make it weird or sexual.
My 13 year old daughter is constantly upset that she can't go topless. I never talked to her about my feelings on the matter. She just turned to me one day and said "It's not fair that dad gets to walk around without a shirt and I can't. It's HOT out!"
I have a 2 year old daughter. If by the time she hits puberty, the female nipples aren't considered taboo, I'm not sure if I'd let her go outside topless like my son because I'm afraid of dirty pedos who might look at her. Am I exaggerating?
@@JohnmhatheistI get it, but in full honesty, a ped is gonna look whether there's clothes or not. There would be a benefit to a societal normalization of nudity, but it'd be difficult, mostly for fears just like yours. People are scared of people, often for good reason.
@@Johnmhatheist Exactly. There should be no restriction on the choice of an adult to be nude. Except, of course, in situations where it becomes a hygeine issue. Nudity at my job would be a terrible idea, as it's FDA regulated.
Prohibiting liquor on voting days was probably not just to prevent people from making decisions while intoxicated, but most likely a direct response to the practice of using gifts of drinks as a not so subtle bribe to vote for your desired candidate. There are stories about even people like George Washington buying large amounts of liquor to ensure success in elections.
In Asheville, N.C., annually, there is a march "Free The Nipple" demonstration. At Bonnaroo festival, women go topless and there are children around. No big deal there.
With the summers getting hotter and hotter, I wish I could go shirtless. Certain body parts being seen as inherently sexual and inappropriate is just silly.
As recently as the '80's in Texas, for some reason, buying ice cream and diapers on Sunday was apparently blasphemous. I still struggle to find the biblical basis for these items, though being unable to buy school supplies on Sundays in the lone star state does, unfortunately, make sense.
the law that prohibited to hunt bigfoot exist because some people actually go somewhere specifically to hunt bigfoot. It turns out that to have a bunch of people with guns hunting for human-shaped object to hunt is dangerous, so the law is made for protection not for bigfoot but humans which might be mistaken by those who want to hunt bigfoot as bigfoot.
Seth I was listening to a Rabbi today that I do respect however today he , in a sermon, brought up the Jewish law that men & women cannot pray together in synagogue. I guess we women are so evil that we will give the men nasty thoughts while they are supposed to be praying. Of course the man is not to blame just the woman. I had hoped this old belief was over !! Guess not!! There is not a religion on earth that is a good place for women to be!! We women are always the underdog 😢
I live in Switzerland and most shops are required to be closed on sunday (exceptions for those shops near train station and gas stations as they are supposed to be able to provide basic daily necessaties). Although the origine of it is definitelly religious, most people see it as a worker protection nowadays. As it keeps the weekend free, as long as you're not working in an essential job, like transportation or hospital and the like. Same for the selling of organs. It's illigal here, mostly to protect people from exploitation. So while I agree that some of those blue laws are stupid and harmful as they restrict your freedom, I also think there are some restriction who are important as they serve as protection.
Please call it communist part (Stalin diet 1953 and GDR existed 1949 to 1990) but apart from this you are right. I'm Christian and from this region, nudity is normal and has nothing to do with once belief. You will find me nicely covered when the sun is out but this is just because I burn easily but for swimming in a nice lake ... Less body shaming and less excuse for man "not being able to control their urges". Fairly recently we (women) gained the right to go topless in any public pool as men were allowed to show their nibbles in public too. 😄
@annarichter484 Marxist-Leninism was the variant of communist theory created by Stalin, and it remained influential in Russia and China for decades after his death. So it makes sense to refer to that ideology as Stalinism.
@@miskatonic_alumni After Stalin's death a period of de-Stalinization took place in the USSR in the 1950s and 60s. His ideas were never implemented in East Germany.

I think it is interesting that in the USA, we made any reference to bodily functions our "profane" words; whereas in other cultures, dehumanizing others are the words that would be most offensive. There is something to be said about he Greek influence on our culture, especially from the Victorian Era when Greek ideals became standards of noble rank, thus leading to a disdain for human qualities and the elevation of "god-like" perfection.
The name Tuesday derives from the Old English Tiwesdæg and literally means "Tiw's Day".[1] Tiw is the Old English form of the Proto-Germanic god *Tîwaz, or Týr in Old Norse. *Tîwaz derives from the Proto-Indo-European base *dei-, *deyā-, *dīdyā-, meaning 'to shine', whence comes also such words as "deity".[2] The name Friday comes from the Old English frīġedæġ, meaning the "day of Frig", a result of an old convention associating the Nordic goddess Frigg with the Roman goddess Venus, with whom the day is associated in many cultures. The same holds for Frīatag in Old High German, Freitag in Modern German, and vrijdag in Dutch.
I would need to double-check to be 100% sure but as I recall the anti Bigfoot hunting law existed because it was attracting people who were trying to do that and it was becoming a problem
I spent 4 years at Minneapolis College of Art and Design drawing naked people. A friend of mine once quipped, 'The animals really do pull off being naked much better than people'. : )
In Alaska, we can't discount drinks for a specific time of the day, but we can run weekly specials. So while some places might have $5 margaritas from 4-7pm, Alaska just makes you have $5 margaritas all day long for a week. I'm good with that
Appreciating the acknowledgement up-front that if Christians actually bothered to look at their own bleepin' texts, Shabbat/the Sabbath is actually on Saturday. I see so many people for whom that seems to fly right over their heads, even though it's pretty glaring. (If I recall - and to be fair, maybe I'm misremembering - I think Christian church became a Sunday affair not because Sunday was actually considered the Sabbath/otherwise holy, but because so many of the earliest Christians were also Jewish. This meant that they would have been in shul on Saturdays, so doing church on Sundays was a scheduling thing.)
Actually, here in Germany last summer some women "faught" for the right to go topless in public baths. And some cities actually gave in, if only some days of the week, and not for the weekend. Note that seeing topless women and even completely nude people bathing "publicly" in the summertime is not that unusual here. Even half a century ago there were "unofficial" zones, usually at nice little lakes in the forrest but still close to streets at which cars could be parked, where the police didn't step in. And those were well known to all who loved to jump into the water and come out again WITHOUT any wet fabric on the skin. Which you either had to change or at least were in a slight risk to undercool your the kidneys (not that high a risk but typically painful IF it happens). While in the 1970s such nude bathing locations were rare, depending on where you lived even in the vicinity of larger cities you had to drive 20...30 km to get to one, they became more usual over the decades. Sometimes, at a 50...100 meter long stretch of beach on a little lake people simply split into two groups, one wearing the typical bathing cloths, the other wearing ... nothing. It were at these place that with time, even at the "bathing cloth" area some women went bear breasted. And if they changed cloths they also stripped completely nude for a few moments, instead of doing a fancy dance behind a towel to avoid anybody around could catch a glimpse of their "top secret body regions". And why should they? Given only few meters away dozen of women sat or lay or stood or went in and out of the water presenting exactly the same body regions freely to everybody who cared to look. Even the stupidest (male) first visitor knew after less than five minutes that all women look the same "there". More or less. At the tip of their breasts and in between their legs. Coming back to today. There are a few women now who - in the midst of summer time - take the "let them free" movement very seriously and not only leave away the bra under the t-shirt but go completely topless in the public. Actually, in my last holiday in Spain, I spotted one in a crowded pedestrian area. One in about two weeks. Showing her breasts completely uncovered. And YES, including her nipples! Both of them. (I counted.) And guess what happened, considering there were surely some atheists around who think we humans are nothing but bunch of chemicals and there is no objective morality? I mean what did they do, those people who live to go around all day killing and v.....ting at pleasure? As they don't fear eternal hellfire for misbehavior. What did they do? Jump up and run to that woman, put her down on the ground and ... Not quite that, but ... In fact the woman walked by and ... exactly NOTHING else happened.
11:16 in Massachusetts, restaurants have happy hour, but NOT with alcohol. They will often discount food items or give out an appetizer or some such thing, but cannot discount alcohol.
@TheThinkingAtheist As far as I know, the no rice throwing at weddings was done mostly because the pidgeons do not eat all the rice and the rice attracts rats, which are a problem.
Just make it mandatory that every business operate six days of per week only (unless it's inherently necessary to run continuously) if the goal is to give people a break.
When it comes to public nudity laws, the problem is that what we find "logical" doesn't change what we find "practical." So sure, in theory there is no "reason" that one gender should be more restricted in public than another, or even that we any of us should wear clothes at all. However, lack of such restrictions seems to flaunt what we expect of human behavior. All of this falls under the category of humans pathologizing their own behavior, specifically sexuality.
There used to be one of those down the street from me back in the 90s. But then Maryland required counties to control liquor distribution at specific dispensaries.
The comedian W.C.Fields used to have code words to substitute the profanity that he wasn't allowed to say on film. For example- he would replace goddammit, mother fucker with " godfrey daneils...mother of pearl.
There's at least a few small towns in my area (Southwest Missouri) that have city ordinances banning alcohol sales on Sunday. Royal pain in the ass when I used to live in one of those small towns, ridiculous. The solution was, go to the gas station just outside of city limits 😉
If you think the weekdays are pagan, you should hear about the months! 😁 I can't remember them all, but the ones I can think of off the top of my head are Janus, Mars, Juno, Augustus (I think?)... Shit I can't remember the rest lol.
So if you forgot to buy your beer on Saturday you were out of luck. There were also laws concerning how close an alcoholic liquid dispensary could be from a church or school. There are still dry towns in new York but not so you would notice. The idea about not working on Sundays is long gone especially with farmers that have to have cows milked. Crops planted and harvested. Majny stores were and are closed on Sunday. The big chain stores were always open seven days a week and so many other stores had to follow along. I still Ike the dea of an easy going Sunday without lawn mowers going and traffic not the bare knuckle operation it has become in most cities.
Ever wonder why after eve bit the "forbidden fruit" from the tree id knowledge of Good and Evil the first thing her and adam did was realize they were naked and cover themselves 🤣🤣🤣🤔🤔🤔
Constantine did not differ much between Christ and Mithra. Sunday was dedicated to Mithra and when Constantine converted to Christ, he made it a rule to have Sunday a day of Worship, same as Mithra.
I can understand the “don’t tease skunks” law. If you see a skunk leave it alone. If you’re in a suburban area and you cause a skunk to spray you’re creating a problem for the whole neighborhood. I found the whole breast argument to be a little disingenuous. Sure, go ahead and get pedantic, but it seems fairly obvious to me that placing a topless woman in public is bound to generate arousal in ways that are very different from the same woman being fully clothed. It’s something that’s ingrained in the male sexual instinct. If anything, the law protects more women than it harms by curtailing these sexual encounters in public.
Ehh, I'm fine with not seeing nipples in public. Though before anyone reacts, note that this is more a quality and quantity issue than a public decency one. Some people are scary when they're shirtless. On a slightly more serious note, someone down here in Australia asked that we not see people wearing thongs at the supermarket. The sensationalists and overreactors claimed he wanted swimwear banned at the beach and staged protests. I facepalmed so hard.
I have a different opinion on the "free the nipple" thing. IMO, I'd prefer not seeing ANYONE's "nipples", whether man or woman. Wear a shirt! If you're at the beach, then okay, for whoever. But not on the street. Let's be honest. Very few people have nipples worth seeing. {shrug} As for clothing that is "provocative", I don't care.
@@DavidSmith-vr1nb Nursing mothers are totally fine. It's their baby having a needed meal. My comment above is only my opinion. I don't even like seeing guys with shirts off.
@@nonya.bizness LOL "nippleobia"! I like it! It's not that I don't like the nipple, but you open that Pandora's box and you may wish it hadn't been! That's all I'm sayin'.
Female breasts and male chest just are different. The former is a sexual organ. Touch a woman on her breasts and you will be prosecuted for sexual harassment or assault. The same does not apply to men. That is the laws protect women instead of targeting them. Either female breasts are sexual or not. You cannot pick and choose and they are when if works for women. Walking bare chested outside a beach is not socially acceptable even for men. Also in the beach women in the US show far more revealing clothes than men who have those ridiculous knee length shorts.

The comedian W.C.Fields used to have code words to substitute the profanity that he wasn't allowed to say on film. For example- he would replace goddammit, mother fucker with " godfrey daneils...mother of pearl.
The ban on organ sales ensures that transplants go to the person in the most need, not to the highest bidder.
Modesty doesn't mean to cover up. It means to not show off fashionable or showy clothes, jewelry, or hairstyle, applicable to both sexes.
There's at least a few small towns in my area (Southwest Missouri) that have city ordinances banning alcohol sales on Sunday. Royal pain in the ass when I used to live in one of those small towns, ridiculous. The solution was, go to the gas station just outside of city limits 😉
Or just not be an alcoholic?
@@JonO387 Unreasonable.
@JonO387 Making a lot of assumptions there bud 🤣
You know what they say about assuming...
04:14 Consent is still the legal criteria, not stimulus or provocation.
I think Indiana's Governor Holcomb Just signed a bill approving happy hour in Indiana again.
I think the ban on silly string might be due to its highly flammable. It has caught fire when it hits the candles on birthday cakes.
Tuesday was Tyr's day. Tyr was a Norse deity. Friday was Frey or Freya's day. Another Norse deity
I've always believed that breastfeeding in public should be mandatory.
If you think the weekdays are pagan, you should hear about the months! 😁
I can't remember them all, but the ones I can think of off the top of my head are Janus, Mars, Juno, Augustus (I think?)...
Shit I can't remember the rest lol.
I wonder who pastor leonard voted for in 2020?
So if you forgot to buy your beer on Saturday you were out of luck. There were also laws concerning how close an alcoholic liquid dispensary could be from a church or school. There are still dry towns in new York but not so you would notice. The idea about not working on Sundays is long gone especially with farmers that have to have cows milked. Crops planted and harvested. Majny stores were and are closed on Sunday. The big chain stores were always open seven days a week and so many other stores had to follow along. I still Ike the dea of an easy going Sunday without lawn mowers going and traffic not the bare knuckle operation it has become in most cities.
In NYC, it's illegal to shoot rabbits from the back of the fifth avenue trolley.
😂😂😂 That's weirdly specific.
Ever wonder why after eve bit the "forbidden fruit" from the tree id knowledge of Good and Evil the first thing her and adam did was realize they were naked and cover themselves 🤣🤣🤣🤔🤔🤔
Never understood why they call it a bib le belt. It should be a bib le noose, but hey. Ya know
Vehicle insurance is gona go up.😅😮😢😊
A one Seth. Loved it.
Tuesday = Martis (Latin) = Mars Day
Feliz martes
Constantine did not differ much between Christ and Mithra. Sunday was dedicated to Mithra and when Constantine converted to Christ, he made it a rule to have Sunday a day of Worship, same as Mithra.
Unless we're going to have legalized nudity in general, I don't see the justification for free the nipple.
You can't say "free the nipple" but then blur the image.
But youtube can take down the video
@@muadeeb I wonder if they would still take it down if it was a man’s chest photoshopped on top the woman’s.

seth, I introduce you to the burqa.
AZ has the same club law.
All the Qur'an actually says about modesty is that women should cover their beasts when they go outside!
What if they don't have a beast?
@@philipinchina ;o)
I can understand the “don’t tease skunks” law. If you see a skunk leave it alone. If you’re in a suburban area and you cause a skunk to spray you’re creating a problem for the whole neighborhood.
I found the whole breast argument to be a little disingenuous. Sure, go ahead and get pedantic, but it seems fairly obvious to me that placing a topless woman in public is bound to generate arousal in ways that are very different from the same woman being fully clothed. It’s something that’s ingrained in the male sexual instinct. If anything, the law protects more women than it harms by curtailing these sexual encounters in public.
Idiot laws! Yeah I see the need.
Ehh, I'm fine with not seeing nipples in public. Though before anyone reacts, note that this is more a quality and quantity issue than a public decency one. Some people are scary when they're shirtless.
On a slightly more serious note, someone down here in Australia asked that we not see people wearing thongs at the supermarket. The sensationalists and overreactors claimed he wanted swimwear banned at the beach and staged protests. I facepalmed so hard.
Something so sexy about a pretty girl in roller skates..... takes me back
Pervert
I have a different opinion on the "free the nipple" thing. IMO, I'd prefer not seeing ANYONE's "nipples", whether man or woman. Wear a shirt! If you're at the beach, then okay, for whoever. But not on the street. Let's be honest. Very few people have nipples worth seeing. {shrug}
As for clothing that is "provocative", I don't care.
What about nursing mothers? It's not like you see it directly for long, and you can always look away.
@@DavidSmith-vr1nb Nursing mothers are totally fine. It's their baby having a needed meal. My comment above is only my opinion. I don't even like seeing guys with shirts off.
@@nonya.bizness LOL "nippleobia"! I like it!
It's not that I don't like the nipple, but you open that Pandora's box and you may wish it hadn't been! That's all I'm sayin'.
"...spelled S U N." Much of Christianity is found in the earlier religions like Sol Invictus and Helios.
Female breasts and male chest just are different. The former is a sexual organ. Touch a woman on her breasts and you will be prosecuted for sexual harassment or assault. The same does not apply to men. That is the laws protect women instead of targeting them.
Either female breasts are sexual or not. You cannot pick and choose and they are when if works for women.
Walking bare chested outside a beach is not socially acceptable even for men. Also in the beach women in the US show far more revealing clothes than men who have those ridiculous knee length shorts.
Who had to pause and Google ,” Honey Dust”?…… …. …. Yaaa…. Me either 🫣
