It's way too conspiracy theory paranoid and blatantly not correct. I would lay this entire business more on the (never sensible) "morality of public decency" than on anything commercial. The author also tends to conveniently forget that those with the breasts - the topless models in question - most certain do get paid for their breasts and also that many of the purveyors of porn are now female. Including not only the CEO of Playboy but also many owner/operators of adult film production companies.

I like the "conspiracy theory paranoid" flavor. That's a major part of the reason for posting it.

So that money isn't going from "male to male" anymore. Not all the time anyway - and a female somewhere down the line does get paid for it. The model. Often other females as well. Last time I checked strippers got paid for taking off their tops in public.

The essence of the argument is still true- it generally is controlled by men; a male dominated culture, etc.

The sentinment makes perfect sense though. If the girls want to take their shirts off I've no problem with it at all. It's stupid to criminalize it.

Yeah.
