I lived in Southern France as a student. I agreed with the men on the beaches.. topless is great.. but no one will convince me that a man doesn't enjoy the sight of a half naked woman. A quick Google search will show you how many people bring cameras to these beaches.. do you want to find images of your half naked loved ones on some forum? As mentioned, I don't agree with criminals driving society decisions, but taking a picture of someone else on a beach is not illegal. So, my concern is for the safety of younger people. A naked picture of you circulating through school will destroy you. Young people need our protection, the cost of equality shouldn't be at their expense.
