All true but one final point, gotopless day is coming.

Yeah, that was just wishful thinking on my part.

Moira was interviewed in a long segment on the "Dr. Drew" show last night! Interesting, I did not know, she has been an exotic dancer for six years.

Excerpts:
MJ ... there basically is like a double standard between men and women in our culture regarding exposing our bodies. A few times, I have experienced now going out with a male counterpart, whether it be a friend or somebody I`m dating. And people actually ask the person that I`m with who is a male if they can take my picture rather than asking me, personally.
MJ: ... I do think that covering the breast does make them more mysterious and more sexual. And what I`m doing demonstrating since May is that a woman can walk around and be safe and not be sexually assaulted on the streets of New York City. That`s what my experience is... I would like women to feel empowered and take agency about their own bodies and go topless whenever they feel comfortable in their own social context in their own communities. There`s a bunch of different contexts where women might feel comfortable going topless, exercising, doing yoga, driving, gardening, in a dance studio, swimming pools, beaches, saunas, spas.
...
MJ: Well, breasts can be sexual and they can also be non- sexual, and I think that`s based -- based on what the woman wants. It`s up to her. You know, every woman can choose for her breasts to be sexual or commercialized. And I`m perfectly, you know, an advocate of that. I`m also an advocate of a woman being able to bear her breasts in situations that are not sexual and not commercial...I`m an exotic dancer...About six years...I am confident about my body and I was confident before I started the job, but yes, of course, it reinforces the notion that I`m comfortable with people seeing my body in spaces such as public spaces.
PINSKY: But Moira, honestly, I`m not so comfortable, Lisa`s daughter or my daughter would be walking around like that.
MJ: That`s another important point. I`m kind of pointing to a flaw as well, because after working in the adult entertainment industry, I understand and know very well that men like to see women`s breast and like to see other women`s breasts in public as well. However, how many of them would feel comfortable with their girlfriend, wife, daughter, mother, or sister doing the same?
BLOOM: None.
PINSKY: None. Yes.
MJ: That`s how many.
