Chainsaw Friyay is upon us and even though it was a short four day week for most of us, the glorious weekend could not come fast enough. I mean, it will be warm out and though maybe not warm enough to go to say, a water park, there's still potential to enjoy some sun. This, of course, brings us straight into the Daily Discussion Topic which was incredibly heated (get it?) Should women be allowed to go topless at a waterpark? A poll on Reddit considered titty time and how it should exist in regards to water parks and beaches. After all, men are allowed to go shirtless and women usually wear bikinis that essentially leave nothing to the imagination so why not? The hot debate obviously is that it is inappropriate for kids but who decided that was the case? Of 3000 people who were polled for the post, 75% said that it was okay. Marris agrees with the poll, as do Angi and myself and he pointed out that it is us who hypersexualize everything and therefore create the concept of it being wrong. It's fine in Europe, it's okay in Mexico and Angi indulges in that by going topless on the beaches in both of those places. More so, it's weird if you don't do it there so on the flip of the spectrum, the judgement there is for the need to cover up. While neither Angi or Marris understand the taboo, it does really come down to perception and requirement, which could and should be optional. As I stated prior, most of what is being worn barely covers up everything as is so why not just free the nipple? With this all established, we took to the Request Line to get some roadie thoughts though there was a serious lack of women which made our scientific part of the spectrum feel flawed. Dan said women should be able to do what they want because men can wear shirts or not, why shouldn't they. It's only immoral because we deem it as such but who are we to decide what is and isn't right in the context of a body. (1 Yes) Allison said as long as the establishment is over 18. She has 4 kids and she wants to protect them and not expose them to breasts. Her personal stance is she'd feel gross and feels exposure to children needs to be controlled as breasts are already sexualized as part of our culture. (1 Yes, 1 No) Big Mike said if you're going to ban going topless, might as well ban porn. Angi rightfully added that they're not showing porn at the water park. (2 Yes, 1 No) Brian said no but the issue lies in the immaturity of the U.S. It comes down to being the fault of those with no self control or ability to control their impulses. Europe overall just feels more mature in these regards and so it works there and not here. (2 Yes, 2 No) Head Roadie Bob made a great point that after 6 months, no one would care just like when weed was legalized. Maybe if we did 1 boob at a time to test the waters. (3 Yes, 2 No) Giovanni agreed that if you are brave enough to whip them out, you should be brave enough to face the stares because you will get them. Not everyone will have perfect breasts and you also have to consider mothers, grandmothers. Exposure has a numbing effect which harkens back to Bob's point but more so, some guys on the beach have bigger tits than girls so the point feels moot. (4 Yes, 2 No) If you are looking for more roadie thoughts or have your own, hit up our Facebook group (Angi Taylor Show) and drop us a comment.
