And therein lies the problem you are trying so hard to correct.
Anyway, so here we are oogling and posting pics of said boobs, which we are not suppose to think twice about seeing, since they are, after all, "just boobs". Well a lot of women are proud of their boobs and like showing them off because they know they are special. Yet others don't see what all the fuss is about.
You know, us photographers go nuts because we treat all events the same. I mean, a boob is a boob to me whether or not you think it is special or not. So how am i suppose to know which ones are OK to treat with reverence and which ones I should just ignore?
Which is not to condone nor make excuses for the hoards of photographers in NYC today. Really, it is not good for the event nor the cause..

I was not there for the angry retort, as this probably happened later in the day, but I can tell you what I did see. For instance, look at this photo of three woman and a man
http://gothamist.com/upload/2012/08/034.jpeg
What you don't see is that there are a group of men hovering just mere
inches from these women, ogling and taking pictures for what seemed like an eternity. At some point they just stopped taking pictures and stood there. I imagine the three women that left had to be from this group, but that's just an assumption.
For anyone that wasn't there, I just want to point out that the girls below didn't show up until much later in the day. They were not there for the march to and from times square, nor were they there for the eventual gotopless sermons about equal rights, etc. or even much later after that. You got to wonder if they were even planning on attending. It's weird how all the attractive young women decided to come late! As a matter of fact, it was so late I left before they came. When you're surrounded by weird looking transexuals, overweight, old women, etc. there just isn't alot of incentive to hang around.
