Now, I'm not usually the protesting type, despite my association with the teachers federation and all that... BUT I think I may have finally found a protest that I can... uh, support.

According to media reports Swedish women have begun a campaign to allow them to go topless at beaches, swimming pools and, uh... football matches. The group set up the "Bara Bradiost" network, which literally tanslates as 'just breasts' with one spokesperson saying "We want our breasts to be as normal and desexualised as men's, so that we too can pull off our shirts at football matches."

I for one say 'awesome', and think this is a campaign that I can really support, or uh... leave unsupported... I'm not sure which, but I think this is a campaign that I could really get behind... or in front of, yeah I think I would prefer being 'in front' of this campaign. It still remains to be seen if this campaign fizzles out, or has some bounce to it, but while it is running, perhaps we should just flip on the high beams and shed some light on equal opportunity.

So is this a real serious campaign? Swedish women wanting the rights to go topless? Could men the world over ask for more? Now we just need to organise a campaign to ban overweight English men from removing their shirts, and another to ban grandparents from wearing bikini's and budgie smugglers on public beaches.
