Topless Swedish Swimmers

Several Swedish women are making makes by going on public swimming pools topless in protest. From a group known as Bara Brost(Bare Breasts), these women are protesting the gender-bias or sexual discrimination on men's and women's swimwear. The group was formed after the recent incident of 2 Swedish women in Uppsala who were swimming topless in a public swimming pool and were asked to leave. They're trying to make a point of if men can go bare-chested, what can't women also do it. The owner of the swimming facility in Uppsala defended the action by saying that women could be subjected to sexual harassment if they are allowed to go topless.
