From Fox News:

A Manhattan artist arrested by police when she went on a topless stroll two years ago has accepted a $29,000 settlement from the city, her lawyer says.

Jill Coccaro, 27, was charged briefly with indecent exposure despite a 1992 state appeals court ruling that concluded women had the right to be topless if men were allowed to take off their shirts.

I have to say, I have made several trips to New York City since the 1992 ruling and I have observed that to a person, the women of the city are not exercising their rights.

Ladies this was a monumental legal victory, second only to securing the right to vote. You should exercise your rights to their fullest, at every opportunity. And you do so with my full support.

The author wishes to note that as a member of the oppressive white male patriarchy, his weak attempt at humor may be found offensive by some readers. He also wishes to not that he does not care.
