Today is Auckland's Boobs on Bikes parade. Apparently, there will be about 30 topless women on bikes. There has been a huge fuss about it in the media. Opponents to the parade suggest it's tasteless and offensive. The 80,000 people who attended last year would probably say otherwise.
Some objections have been; "I don't want my children to see it" and "I don't want to see women's breasts in public". In my opinion...if you don't want to see the breasts, stay away from the city today - it's only for one day people. If you don't want your children to see the parade - keep them away and shouldn't they be at school anyway?
I can't say the idea of riding a bike topless in the middle of winter appeals to me but if women want to do it, I don't have a problem with it.
The women are baring their breasts because they want to, I don't see this as exploitation as some people have suggested. If they were being paid to do it, to put food on the table, I would look at it differently but they are doing it for fun.
Why don't these protesters direct their energy towards doing something about helping the homeless on Auckland's streets or some other worthwhile cause? For goodness sake they are just breasts people - half of us have them and we have all seen them before. If you don't like it...stay away...simple as that.
