Let us ask ourselves, is public nudity an acceptable practice?
The answer is no. Not a wild argument or morsel of contorted logic could overrule the fact that public nudity is a rare societal practice which has never been accepted in flourishing civilization. Nudity subordinates the male mind to its baser instincts, and creates an atmosphere of lechery where there would otherwise be serious civil interaction, stunting functional society.
Consider the fact that this scandalous parade was set in a town where many people are Muslim, Catholic, or Jewish Fundamentalist, most of whom are against displays of nudity and sexual behavior. Large families are common among these people. Leaving many children around to watch Amy Gunderson and her trashy compatriots display their wares in the streets. In a case where young minds were violated, entire peoples were disrespected, and the law of the land horribly violated, the topless marcher and her perverted leftist lawyer emerged as the victors in yet another case of liberal victimization.
Also consider the offensive comment made by Ron Kuby after the fraudulent ruling: “ I think (former mayor Rudy Giuliani) has a different view of bare breasts that mayor Bloomberg.”, he reportedly told a journalist. I can just imagine that unconsciable left-wing fundamentalist licking his chops as he said it. There goes the pagan orthodoxy once more: The conservatives are prudish, that children are sport for adult sexual activity, and that religions are indisputably oppressive. They believe it to be the duty of zealous liberal “enlightenment police” to violate it for everyone’s good. Such thinking is reprehensible, the product of institutionalized ignorance, and Ron Kuby and his smirking plaintiff are indisputably wrong.
On the whole, public nudity proponents comprise two groups: misogynists and wimps. The misogynists believe that women are basically whores and therefore have no need for attire. The wimps are sexually dysfunctional, morally dysfunctional shadows of men who view all conventional behavior as mean and oppressive and feel adamant about defying it.
Think of skeezy designer Yves Saint Laurent posing nude for 70’s “Homme” cologne ad and you’ll get the picture. This kind of guy has no sex drive and no understanding of why clothes are necessary, so he tolerates a nude body as he would a suited one. From a female perspective on why a woman would contribute to public nudity, I can state the obvious: being naked is fun! However, having one’s bare breasts being ogled in public by a random crew is entirely another matter. No self-respecting female would do it without a strong monetary incentive. And if the men don’t ogle, then it’s even more disturbing, because it means there’s something downright wrong with them. Yuck! The bottom line is, public nudity is wrong. It demeans women, distracts men, and corrupts the atmosphere needed for society to function.
The Amy Gunderson case has gone fundamentally awry. After watching a topless parade, a lawful judge was influenced to rule against law and order in favor of his ego. When law is subordinated to base instincts, we know society has drowned.
