Topless March in Maine

In Maine, women blow their tops over inequality

If it's already LEGAL for women to go topless in Maine, why are these women protesting? I get that these protesters would like it to be socially acceptable for women to go topless, but I'm not sure that protests like these are going to do it. It'd be one thing if they were doing it everyday, so that people in their communities become accustomed to the sight of a bare-chested, but nonsexual woman. But a one time mass rally like this, without follow through, that just becomes a male ogling spectacle. And, why aren't there men marching with these women with no shirts on in solidarity? If there were more men involved in this, and in feminism in general, on a visible level, it probably wouldn't seem like such a freakshow. And, maybe they should be marching for rights for women that aren't already recognized by law?

By the way, I agree with the lady holding up the sign, "Tops for All". I don't need to see men walking around with no shirts on and bathed in their own sweat. It's gross.
