I lived in Haiti for 3 years where the top of a woman was not considered private. Within 2 months, looking at a woman's breast was about as exciting as looking at her elbow. Weirdly, they switched back to being sexual after returning to Canada.
Woman’s breasts aren’t considered private here (Canada) either
By law or by culture?
At least in Ontario. Women have had the same right as men to go topless anywhere a man would. This is since 1996, I think that’s when that Gretchen lass took it to court.
So by law, yes. A culture of women walking around topless is a different thing entirely.
But the article is about law, not culture, right?
The reply a few above is about Haiti, which is more cultural. That's how we got here.
Oh, I see.
