Uppsala, Sweden (AHN) - A group of Swedish female activists is campaigning for women to be allowed to go topless in the country's swimming pools.

UPI mentions The Local reporting Tuesday the group, calling itself Bara Brost (Bare Breasts or Just Breasts), launched the protest following an incident in August involving two women who were refused to go topless at their local pool in Uppsala.

I think a lot of men worldwide will be praying for the victory ! Not only women topless but SWEDISH women ? That's all that we mere mortal women needed. We might as well pack up and move to the moon now !

Hmm.
"Hygiene issue?" Do they think the breasts will leak or something?

In the beaches of France, Italy, Croatia and Greece that I've visited, women going topless was no big deal. Some did, some didn't.

But I remember some years ago, our older son telling us that when he tried to go swimming at a French public pool, they turned him away because he was wearing boxer-like swimming trunks.
Those were considered unsanitary.
They told him he had to wear Speedo type swimwear, so off he went to purchase it. We got a good laugh out of that.
