Well, the day is here.
As I noted yesterday, laws requiring that female (but not male) areolas be covered are arbitrary, discriminatory and repressive. They also violate principles of voluntarism--no victim, no crime.
Go Topless Day is a time for women across the world to protest by baring their breasts, and there's no better place to do that than on an uncensored platform like Steemit.
As promised, below is @steemed-open's contribution to the effort.. You'll find several more similar (but maybe better) pictures of her on @steemed-open's blog.
Happy Go Topless Day!

And for everyone freaking out over this---pssst, they're just boobs. I promise, they don't hurt.
Photos by me.
I actually didn't know about this. I thought it was the same thing as the slut marches in which women march topless in protest against the victim blaming authorities who blame women who wear revealing clothing for getting raped.
This is completely different.
I was really excited about visiting a nudist beach in Greece a few years ago. I had built up my expectations of it and was disappointed when I got there. Instead of the liberating feeling I was expecting, I experienced something very different. I arrived at a family beach, where everybody was fully clothed. Only when I walked over the rocks I found a very small secluded alcove, unseen from the rest of the beach with 2 women lieing on their front butt naked. Instead of feeling liberating, the way the beach was hidden away and anybody lurking around would be suspicious made it feel quite seedy.
I was hugely disappointed in myself for seeing it this way. We continued traveling through Greece and Italy and finally when I got to the south of France I found what I was looking for! All along La Cote D'Azur women were shamelessly (and I mean that in a good day) baring their breasts to the sun, the beach goers and the traffic on the road next to them. I have a vivid memory of a woman standing up bare chested, facing the traffic, to shake off the sand from her towel. Her tits flipped and flapped in every direction and she didn't even put a hand up to cover herself. It was wonderful!! It took me a few minutes to get comfortable but eventually I got topless and even laughed off the English tourists making snarly comments at some of the French topless ladies. They fazed nobody. Nobody cared. It was just beautifully normal to have your 'areolas' out.

Is this objectification or sexual empowerment? @stellabelle. Happy topless day!

That depends on the feminist views you hold.
Personally I see it as neither. It is liberating, not empowering.

Excellent job on the photos...the model as well as you. I think we all may be more entertained by the freaking out than the premise. Will be watching :)

Not just boobs, boobs around the world no less. Texas, Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico... Sadly I did not see any Michigan boobs but perhaps your cross country tour will eventually find your way here.

I agree the law is discriminatory. Males should have to cover if I have to cover.

On a disco party, I did not witness the context, a girl was screaming at a guy who was dancing topless for not wearing a shirt. I only overheard her yelling "and the problem with our society is that women can't take off their shirts!" and I asked over the music "what keeps you from doing it" but then a friend pulled me aside and told me urgently to keep out of it, it was the wrong territory for a reasonable debate on such matters that evening.
I'll go into the city and spread the good news about Go Topless Day.
