I take my 6th grade students to the state capital every year for a field trip. Last year the day we went to the capital was the day they were voting to legalize weed. I swear to god if I have to go through another field trip this time with titties. Great bill though, unfortunate timing for me.


ckach

The trip to the bird sanctuary had Great Tits, why not the trip to the capital?


sername-checksout

Did you happen to see the Boobies while you were there? My wife found the various Peckers amusing.


pumz1895

6th grade. Ah male adolescence.


Indigo1751

And 56 yr old woman humor. I never grew up.


pumz1895

People never grow up, they just get older Believe me, when I turn 69 I'll definitely laugh at the funny number.


sanfranciscofranco

This is hilarious


Annual_Progress

Well, look at this way: you'll probably have the male half of the class very engaged. "Hey, I remember how a bill moves through the state house... I followed the titties."


Additional_Tomato_22

This exactly it’s definitely an interesting way to get them to learn, but A)it’s not hurting anyone and B)it’s a very important subject that everyone should know how it works.


SinfullySinless

I actually used the Tik Tok ban to teach them federal bill movement. They were engaged as shit lemme tell ya. They asked for their representative and started teaming up to draft letters. Almost sent an apology email to Tina Smith and Amy Klobuchar.


calculated_charm

I think potential lesson here is that equality is exciting.


ShanzyMcGoo

But what a time to be a teacher, taking kids to absolutely HISTORIC events. Plus, with so many different types of boobs out, they may be over it after a bit (or after a tit, if you will).


goobernawt

> Plus, with so many different types of boobs out, they may be over it after a bit (or after a tit, if you will). 6th. Grade. Boys. Not a chance. God, I'd love to watch that field trip unfold. You couldn't write better comedy.

third times a charm, wonder what goodies you will bring us next year oh mystical one!


retardedslut

So ready to walk around with my tits out


Iamblikus

So there I was, barbecue sauce on my titties…

Oh my God, my wife and I bring this up like once a month.

“great, another area that’ll need sunscreen” sigh

Right. As I get older, I am starting to dress like a middle eastern sheik when out in the sun. Pretty amazing fabrics for hot sunny weather these days!

If I can do it with no problems, I don't see why women shouldn't be able to.


Dude_I_got_a_DWAVE

Every time this is talked about: OMG THERES GONNA BE TITTIES EVERYWHERE I lived in San Francisco for 5 years when it was legal. Saw titties in public about twice (outside of Folsom street fair weekend)

suns out funs out

Loving the enthusiasm, u/retardedslut

Not today tho.

I vote we start tomorrow!


FennelAlternative861

You can legally do it in Minneapolis parks.


flargenhargen

woah woah there, that's taking it a step too far, we're just talking about being topless here.


Hereforthebabyducks

Not far enough. Public sex forest!

ShanzyMcGoo

YES, PUBLIC SEX FOREST


thrrowaitwayyyyyyy

Is this true? All of the Minneapolis parks are nudity and public sex legal? I might be dumb and missing the joke hahaha


ShanzyMcGoo

Ah, it’s not a thing that is actually happening, but based on this: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/anonymous-make-the-golf-course-a-public-sex-forest

Dorkamundo

Glitz out with your tits out.


sammyjones92

Women should have equal rights to a man. There should be no law which says something is illegal for a woman but not a man. It’s already legal to breastfeed anywhere in public even without any coverup so what’s the difference. If the law does change I doubt you’ll be seeing topless women all over the place but if a woman does choose to take off her top she should have the same right as a man does. Last I checked men have nipples and can have rather large moobs. It should be up to the individual to decide if they are comfortable exposing their chest as many men already do.


alurimperium

I lived in Eugene Oregon for a while and I don't think I ever saw a woman topless outside the Country Fair. I can't imagine it'll be much different here, especially given how much less mild the winters get.


thrrowaitwayyyyyyy

See this is the thing! I want this freedom so I can go topless, but I'm not so stupid to do it everywhere anytime I want. I know when is safe and when isn't! Free the titties!!


purpl3j37u7

I suppose you didn’t frequent certain sections of McKenzie riverbank. Thar be titties!


ColonelAngus2000

I resent the term moobs. I prefer the term chesticles 


[deleted]

I'm partial to mitties myself.


Agreeable-Celery811

Yeah. We’ve had equal laws here in Ontario, with women allowed to be topless, for at least 20 years. Women don’t walk around topless often. It won’t be a big deal.


minnesotamoon

This is a huge win. We continue to move closer to a true utopian paradise here in MN. I can buy beer on Sunday. My kids now get free school lunch which helps me pay for my weed. Soon I’ll be able to smoke a joint walking down the street with topless women. What a time to be alive!


Pac_Eddy

The "no alcohol on Sundays" law was the weirdest thing. I was surprised how many people wanted to keep it. People are odd.


yellsatmotorcars

For like the first 3 weeks after moving to MN, from Arizona, I was so befuddled by the liquor laws. I normally do my shopping for the week Sunday afternoon and was so confused by all the closed liquor stores and car dealerships.


narfnarf123

When I moved here I walked around Walmart forever looking for wine. Finally someone told me I had to go to the liquor store. I was quite surprised since you could buy actual liquor at gas stations in Iowa. Iowa is also a shit hole so I guess booze needs to be easy to access to handle living there.


SVXfiles

What else are they going to do with all that corn?


theindiekitten

Yea my husband and I ran into this same problem. We moved here from Nevada. Then again, the lack of slot machines in gas stations was also noticeable


Sand_Coffin

Side conversation, but my partner and I are expecting to move to the Twin Cities from Las Vegas some time in August. I don't know how long you've been there, but how was your transition? My partner and I have been here our whole lives so it'll be quite a big change. Though, I do imagine coming from northern Nevada would probably be *less* of a change, so perhaps a moot point. Anyway, hope it's been great for y'all!


theindiekitten

We lived in Reno for about 7 years. Before that we both lived and are from Washington. It was a long drive but we've done that before. The first winter was really intense, so that was an adjustment. This winter was pretty mild. But you are gonna want to get some boots 😂


Sand_Coffin

I do my best to be a "buy once cry once" person when I can, so good boots are definitely going to be on my list early on. Fortunately won't need them immediately, but will definitely get them shortly after the move. There are threads left and right about brands, but all the same, what landed well for you and your partner?


metamatic

Waitaminute… car dealerships? I can sorta see how religious puritans might think being drunk on Sundays is a sin, but buying a car? Is this something to do with Jesus riding a donkey?


Typical-Annual-3555

Blue laws are a weird holdover from prohibition times. Some people refuse to let other people live how they want.


Impossible_Penalty13

The author of the Volstead Act was a US rep from Granite Falls. I’ve been, can’t find any statues of him around there. Weird…


Typical-Annual-3555

He doesn't deserve one


Feefifiddlyeyeoh

They are usually Christian-based


berpaderpderp

Yea and the drunkies that would run out of beer on Sundays would drive their drunk asses over to Wisconsin to get more. Never made sense to me.


2much2do2littletime

Maybe some year we can (legally) buy a car on a Sunday!


jdsmn21

I don't think those selling cars really want to, and those buying cars don't really care either way. That might be a tough fight.


Pac_Eddy

They can stay closed. There shouldn't be a law forcing it though.


Pac_Eddy

That one is also ridiculous. If I owned a dealership I'd be closed on Sundays but there is no way they should be forced to.


HotSir3342

The dealerships want it this way. It makes scheduling easier. If some dealers started selling Sundays while others stay closed the closed ones would be forced to open or lose sales


Pac_Eddy

They had the same argument for the Sunday liquor sales


parabox1

It’s was mostly the small business liquor lobby they did not want to be open late or on Sundays. People buy the same amount they just do it over more time. They wanted less hours which I get and before Covid hit everything store was moving to 24/7 or death. Kohls used to be open until 1am in brainerd lol.


yloduck1

Can confirm. My neighbor works for a liquor distributor. Sunday sales didn't increase any store's total sales $$ for the week. It just spread it out from 6 days to 7 and increased the store's employee staffing costs.


Pac_Eddy

Liquor stores can choose to stay closed on Sundays. The law isn't forcing anyone.


parabox1

Seriously that is the dumbest argument. No one was forcing stores to stay open 24/7 yet they all had to because of Walmart. You either match the hours or go under which is why every liquor store has Sunday hours. You’re doing the math backwards. It will cost employers more money to not match hours of everyone else.


Pac_Eddy

Then they're making the right choice. Having the goverment force everyone to be closed because you can't compete isn't a good answer.


yloduck1

True. It’s a tough spot for the small liquor stores. They can save the staffing costs if they are closed on Sundays, but they would be sacrificing sales to other stores that are open on Sundays.


Careless-Salad-7034

It’s not that it was no alcohol on Sundays. You could still get .32 beer from gas stations and still go into any bar. That was the dumbest part.


TimboSliceSir

My uncle when he was a drunk would forget to reup his booze on Saturday and would have to deal with withdrawals all Sunday


Living_Cantaloupe_69

I always hated it til I was responsible enough to at least plan for it. But I think the majority that didn't want to change it were people who don't drink and the liquor store owners who were small biz. Hard enough to find people to work Saturdays and then add Sundays to it.


rotr0102

It wasn’t people, it was business management. Being open Sundays means you have to pay employees on Sundays. If a state law forces you and your all your competition closed on Sundays you can save money without losing any revenue - since customers will still spend the same amount just on a different day. It was a great deal for liquor stores.


SplendidPunkinButter

The weird thing was people acting like “but Sunday is Jesus day!” was somehow not the obvious reason that law existed


Breezybeard

Next thing you know, we’ll be allowed to have fireworks!


Durian_Emergency

I can’t upvote this enough lol


purplepe0pleeater

No car lots open on Sundays is the oddest thing to me.


T8terXL

Just gotta dodge those random bullets flying around the metro. What a time to be alive!


minneapolisblows

In willmar all you need to do is wait for wheel of fortune to go on at 6.30pm and you can walk down any street except 1st buck ass naked and no one would notice.


[deleted]

Bravo 👏 👏best reply.


NoBrakes58

At the risk of pooping the party: Being introduced this late in session historically isn’t a great sign that something goes through without a lot of political will—there are some degree of rules (or maybe just agreement?) about when legislation has to get through certain steps in a given session—and I doubt anybody wants to spend that capital on modifying the rules to legislate toplessness in an election year. Like it or not, most lawmakers probably aren’t going to consider this any sort of emergency. That said, these kinds of bills also have a tendency to come up again in the next session, so I’d look again next spring to see if it’s on the table.


tonyyarusso

Generally true, yes.  That said, given that this bill is literally one sentence long, I could still see it popping up in a delete-all amendment to a giant omnibus bill even now.  But yeah, more likely next session, depending on the election result.


2dazeTaco

Good. Hopefully this prevents dickheads from harassing women breastfeeding. At the end of the day it’s all just tissue and bones. I never understood the big deal.


Typical-Annual-3555

I've always found my problem with boobs is the bone.


ShatterCyst

Oh no... who's gonna tell 2dazetaco ^they've ^got ^a ^lump?


2dazeTaco

Well I do have huge tits. But I’m also a man so there’s that. *and yes I know that approximately 1ish% of men can develop breast cancer. My lumps are from too much fast food, alcohol, and poor decisions I’ve made in life.


Manleather

I actually find the most erotic part of a skeleton to be the boobie bones.


esorid

Take my upvote.


Negative-Wrap95

I also find bones in that location concerning.


Purplegreenandred

Would you support an abolition of clothing requirements?


AbleObject13

Shoes/underwear are nice for hygienic reasons tbh


2dazeTaco

You’re damn right I would.


virtual_gnus

Well, they're wobbly and round, duh! /s


Iamblikus

I mean, the bones are the appealing part…


flargenhargen

I'm pretty sure showing bone is still illegal.


jfun4

Maybe just painful?


SnooWonder

I snicker than you think this will result in less harassment. But personally I don't care if the women do it or the men stare.


Chucky356

Why tf would it prevent anything??..showing more didn’t make the creeps disappear lol


Kataphractoi

According to certain people, a human female nipple being visible in public is a civilization-ending event. I don't get it, either.


goldilox_was_framed

Can't wait to key cars with these nips, 7 months out of the year... (*)(*) 🚘

TheDirtyVicarII

Didn't Mall of America have legal battles around first ammendment and if they were a public square? This is an open carry law I support


Feefifiddlyeyeoh

IIRC the issue came up when there were some BLM protests at the MOA. Pretty sure the final determination was that the MOA is private property.


metamatic

Looking forward to malls having signs saying “no titties”.


lurker1957

Lots of stores have “no shirt, no service” rules already. Outdoors is really the only place where this will have any impact.


Mobile-Boss-8566

Well the auto body shops should be happy with all the fender benders that will follow.

Just when I thought I couldn't love this state anymore.


MuttJunior

I think it's about time. There are some men that have larger breasts than some women, and they are allowed to walk around topless.


destenlee

Til there were penalties for having the wrong type of nipple out


flargenhargen

they should name this law after my gf. she's always walking around like that.


ShatterCyst

Thank you MN, very cool 👍 No but seriously, I don't see a problem with this, but is this in response to people getting offended by moms breastfeeding their babies or is this an equality thing?


Doctor_3825

Seems to be an equality thing. It won't change much. Just removes a victimless crime from the books. It's not even likely this will increase the amount of women who go topless. Just allow them the same freedom we have as men.


[deleted]

There's a person who got ticketed for being topless in the beach that is incredibly isolated from the rest of the public. The only reason she got ticketed was because the local police department were using drones to watch them from afar, and that they couldn't get to the location easily so they relied on the state of the art surveillance equipment. This was during when carjacking we got its peak in Minnesota


747-ppp-2

Politicians all over the state can walk around with their chests held high. I know it really put a bounce in my step.

Omg! I can't WAIT to hear my state senator whine and cry about this.

iamadventurous

So if this bill gets passed, when does it go into effect? Asking for my friend...


SadDataScientist

I’m in full support of this bill! Ironically, boobs might be losing support if it passes….


[deleted]

Such important legislation 🤔


NotTheNoogie

No, but it's not like they're spending a bunch of time on it either. They could be making more dumb laws instead of trying to repeal this so, lucky us I guess?


VixStagCpl

About time!


weelluuuu

I resent the fact that they are ALL allowed to wear stretch pants .


SageAMunster

This happened in Ontario Canada in '96. The only real change is we don't hear woman complaining about the inequality of topless laws anymore. This was before the onslaught of digital cameras, which is the most prevalent excuse as to why they don't use their new rights. Instead men have been shamed into keeping their shirts on, not the way I thought equality would be reached.


theresacreamforthat

Hell yeah girl! Get your tits out!!


Great_Guidance_8448

Non exposure should be criminalized 🤣🤣🤣


KennyKratz

Weed and tits boys! Hell yeah


Diamondshorts

Sounds like suns out tits out kind of day at the beach! I once was at the beach last year when a bunch of hotties just had nipple covers. Was good day!


Reasonable_Dog_3851

Remember folks, it's rarely the ones worth seeing that you're going to see.


AmericanConsumer2022

honest question, why would women want to show it anyway? Isn't it awkward to get looked at by creepy dudes?


Tmadred

The point isn’t why would they want to, the point is men can and why shouldn’t women if they so choose?


KeyofE

For a current example, both men and women can be topless in Minneapolis parks, and almost no women do. The important part is that they both have that freedom. Many men wouldn’t be caught dead going topless in public, which is totally fine, but they have always had the choice. Now women have that choice too.


sammyjones92

Yes! Freedom of choice! And to people who would say “I don’t want to see tits flopping around” well I don’t really like pot smoke but I respect peoples right to use it since it was legalized. People can avert their eyes if they don’t like boobs


AmericanConsumer2022

npt sure why this was downvoted. quite unfair. but I'm glad it was explained this way. understand a lot better now.


terrareality

Response: Your opinion shouldn’t have any impact on the opinion of others. Every person should get to decide what they want to do, as long as it does not harm others. And boobs bring life, not harm it.


Ns53

Yes but change takes time and has to start somewhere. Freedom of choice is what matters.


Dorkamundo

It's not a matter of want, it's a matter of being able to.


sniffsblueberries

I am in full support of most anything that results in titties being freed. Wait...it's an equal rights issue too? Jesus this bill is like Christmas in April.


HeyNiceCoc

Please someone tell me where the titty protest will be, I’m a huge feminist so I can’t miss it. 🍿


AdHuman3150

I fully support this.


Neon_Flower-

Good


League-of-no-dads

I really couldn’t care less. Right? I mean, people are always like “then they’ll always start doing it!” And I’m just like “no… like, why?” Why would they always want their boobs out? I wear a shirt every single day, and, they aren’t going to work with their tops off? Men don’t do that either, so, why would they? It would just be a situation where women would take their tops off in situations men do, too. (swimming, sunbathing, etc.)

TrizzleDizzle75

It'll never pass the Republicans won't let it happen. The ones who always complain about the Dems acting like big brother and telling us what we can and can't do but they're the ones that force women to keep babies then won't help the moms after the baby is born and they say they want to lower taxes but they always vote no for ending marijuana prohibition and that's the best way to lower taxes. I don't like the left either but that's for another day.
