One woman commented on this story, "...don't your nipples show? I mean I'm not that large but I'd be paranoid that people could see my nipples." And another woman wrote, "...Unfortunately, the media seems obsessed with who is or isn't wearing one; often reporting these incidents as fashion faux pas celebrity news. Maybe if society were a bit more accepting of personal choice when it comes to dressing breasts there might be less controversy over such basic rights as breastfeeding in public."
Who cares if your nipples show. Until the 1930's men could be arrested on beaches in the US for being shirtless as it was thought women had to be protected from the sight of a man's bare chest. It was a very big deal if a man was shirtless in public. Nowadays no one cares if a man is shirtless. Back in the late 1800's if a woman showed a bare ankle, it was scandalous. Then the sight of a woman's bare calf in public in the 1920's was considered immoral. Now bare ankles and calves are common.
The same would be true with women's bare breasts and nipples. If it was legal for women to topless sunbathe, 50 years from now, no one would care. And people wouldn't care about women breastfeeding in public or if nipples were showing under clothing.
From wikipedia, "In the 16th century, women's fashions featuring fully exposed breasts were common throughout society,for women of all social statuses."
It was no big deal then, so why do people equate the sight of bare breasts as bad now in the US?
The morality police and governments always have to try to control the citizens. And clothing is one of the ways they do it.
So we say, who cares about going braless. We should be fighting for the rights of women to be topfree on beaches instead. Women in the 1600's had the right to be topless in public, they should be able to win back that right.

Everyone has nipples. So what is the big deal about showing them. Everyone has the freedom of choice. It is only natural to have the the warmth of the sun on them and the body.
