Not that we can actually remember first writing about it way back in September, but there's a happy ending to the story of Ragnhild and Kristin, two Swedish sunbathers who were fighting for the right to show everyone their boobs. Hang on: if you hate boobs, it's a sad ending. Also -- what the hell are you doing here?
A swimming pool in northern Sweden has said it will allow women to bathe topless, following a campaign by feminists.
A spokesman for the pool, part of Sundsvall's municipal leisure centre, said that employees there had decided they would not act if women tried to bathe semi-naked.
[...]
"This is positive," said group member Ragnhild Karlsson to news agency TT.
We were concerned for a while there, since the argument by the girls and the Bara Bröst network, their protest organization, hinged on the potentially calamitous supposition that if men could go without tops, so should the women -- meaning that in a worst case scenario, every dude in Uppsala's swimming pools would have had to wear... what? Old-timey swimming cos-tewmes? Anyway, bullet dodged, problems solved, and boobs unleashed -- and all in the name of equality. The glorious revolution marches on!
