Yes, put me down for 10. These women are clearly in need of support.... :D
That is a very good way of getting attention to an important topic.
That was awesome, these people deserve the freedom to express themselves as WOMEN!
I never thought of a topless woman as 'nudity' anyway. If men can do it, women can as well.
I believe and support any choice for freedom these human beings need!

I agree, I to would happily go topless to support the cause. However at my age the effect could well result in a campaign for men to keep their tops on :-[
"My thoughts, my body, my choice."
Exactly right.

On topic: good for those women! I'm glad they had the guts to do that. They deserve the freedom to make choices for themselves, as does everyone.
I'm assuming these women aren't currently living in Iran? It looks like the project, or at least its distribution, is based out of the UK. Good for them. My immediate concern though was that if they are in Iran, this would get them killed. :-\

Because obviously, exposed women's breast are a serious threat on society.

I thought the same thing.
Kudos to them, though!
On a related note, did you know that in New York City, it's legal for women to go topless in public whenever they like?

Wow, I didn't know that! Neat pictures too, some really artistic shots. The one of the woman boxing is playful and fun, and the ones of the woman nursing her baby are so sweet. :)
That's the thing, when you look at enough of them, your brain stops going "OMG boobies!" and just sees it as being normal. Which is what I guess the photographer was going for :)
I'm all for it. There is nothing shocking about women's breasts, why should women be forced to hide them away from society?
And yeah, if exposure becomes common place then people won't really care about it.

Well that is my 'Learns something new everyday' item of the day.

Nude photo shoots, and I've done a handful, are not 'sexy'. You'd think they would be, an attractive young woman doing what you ask them while naked. But the aim is to produce good photos and that goal just takes over.

This is so true, and happens so quickly. I once went to a strip club for my friend's 21st bday, and when we first walked in I was all wide eyes, but by the end the strippers just kind of faded into the background.

Haha, my husband and I got drunk a couple of years ago and went to a strip club to talk about the sociology of stripping (you know. For fun. Because we're nerds). We were asked if we wanted a "couple's lap dance" and we were like "no, no, that's okay. We're just here to talk!." They probably thought we were nuts, but no one seemed to mind because we kept buying drinks :D

Also probably the reason I barely noticed the strippers by the end of the night. :D
Several of the strippers wanted to give me a lap dance, but I think that's because they suspected that the men in the room would empty their pockets to see a girl giving another girl a lap dance. I didn't think it was fair that I wouldn't get to share in the profits, so I declined.
