I'll Take The Money Over The Honey
SAN DIEGO - Armed with a message -- but no tops -- more than 100 students at UC San Diego gathered Wednesday with this message: "Free the Nipple."
"Yes, I just want everyone to learn to love themselves and love other people, too, so the world can be a better place," said Anni Ma of Free the Nipple UCSD, who helped organize the event on campus.
"We're having a topless movement where everyone is sitting down with their tops off, both men and women, to show that we can normalize the female breast," Ma added. "It felt, actually, really normal, and everyone just did it and it wasn't a big deal, like, that's how I felt."
Ma said it's all about equality.
"It's just not fair that a woman will get harassed and then get put in jail and then have to fight to prove her innocence while her counterpart will have no problem with doing that. It's kind of rough and it's just not fair," said Ma.
They say this is not about sex.
"It doesn't have to be a sexual thing. I can walk around and it can be perfectly normal and by doing this we're allowing everyone a chance to be perfectly normal," said Ma.
Typically, nudity in public spaces violates San Diego municipal codes and the UCSD student code of conduct, but the school told 10News they support the students and their First Amendment rights.
"There's actually like a free speech zone over there which I think is actually kind of weird because I think this whole place should be a free speech zone, like America," said Ma.
Ma would love to see new laws that would free women to go topless, just like men, without it being considered a violation.
