Hmmm......

Athela "Beaner" Frandsen is like many 15-year-old girls – she loves science, computer games and her pet rat, Luna. But just beneath the surface of the quiet-voiced, well-mannered Melbourne teenager exists a passionate women's rights activist who has been battling the court system since the age of 9.

Her struggle began a few weeks before her 10th birthday, when Athela got bad news from her mother, Jan.

"When I was playing at the park as a young girl, I would get hot, so I would just take my shirt off like the other boys my age did to cool down," says Athela. "But one day, my mother informed me that once I turned 10, I would no longer be able to take my shirt off to cool down because the law doesn't allow girls over the age of 10 to do so. I didn't think this was very fair."

Her parents, Melbourne naturists Jan and Marvin Frandsen, agreed.

"It broke my heart to have to explain to her that she was considered different than the boys her age," says Jan. "I didn't want to tell her because she was just about to turn 10, and that's an age when a lot of little girls have a drop in self-esteem."

Frustrated, Jan says she began calling old friends to see if they were interested in joining a lawsuit against Brevard County. Eight other women, ages 38 to 75, said yes, including a school teacher, a co-founder of a Fort Pierce nudist community and an ex-NASA worker who pled guilty to sprinkling white powder in an envelope with her water bill during the nation's anthrax scare. Together, the women have been nicknamed the Topfree 10.

"I just began calling anyone I could think of to see if they'd be interested in coming together to fight the law," says Jan, "Two of the women I knew from church, and the rest were from different walks of life."

Once she garnered support for their cause, Jan approached married Merritt Island attorneys Mark and Lisa Tietig. Mark Tietig emphasizes that the case has less to do with a women wanting to go topless, and more to do with equal rights.

"This case is about changing a law that actually criminalizes and punishes women for doing something men can do," says Mark Tietig. "It's essentially one of the last laws on the books that works that way."

In their lawsuit, initially filed in 1998, the women sued Brevard County for the right to take off their tops "during their work, beach going, gardening, sunbathing, swimming, other outdoor activities, and in other nonsexual contexts as often as their husbands, sons, fathers and other men."

Looks like something from the trailer parks, in my opinion. Doesn't suprise me; it seems like most nudists are the very people who should be keeping their clothing on.

Its been legal for women to go topless in NYS for about 3 years now. The world hasn't come crashing down. There was one group of granola tree huggers that met every week in one of the local parks for a topless picnic, but I think that by this year, even that had died down.

Hey, Gota start somewhere!! Look at 70's porn girls

now look at todays!!

I think all those uptight assholes should maybe spend a month in the mediterranian coast or northern europe during summer. Once you stop oggiling the boobies it becomes normal and you don't think twice about it. Say what you want about "socialist " europe, but it seems to me that the more "socialist" it is the more boobies you see on the beach!! Correlation??

Move to Texas. Topless is legal here, regardless of age. but in her case I'd withdraw the invitation.

I was a kid that you would like
Just a small boy on her bike
Riding topless, yeah, I never cared who saw
My neighbor come outside to say
"Get your shirt," I said "No way
It's the last time I'm not breaking any law"
