Speaking of not being allowed to enter a polling place wearing curtain clothes: "Since Tuesday, she has become known as the “Topless Voter.” The woman, who ripped off her T-shirt after objections that it was too political to wear inside the Exeter polls, said she has no regrets. “I said, ‘Well then, can I vote naked?’ He turned to me and said, ‘If you want to.’ So I took off my shirt,” she said. She said she kept on her mask because removing it would have been “unhealthy.”" https://www.unionleader.com/news/politics/voters/topless-voter-has-no-regrets-after-removing-shirt-at-exeter-polls/article_934c30e0-6f8f-593c-8619-73e3e449ae6d.html https://www.unionleader.com/news/politics/voters/topless-vot...

Depressing how uncivilized and obnoxious people can be. We may want to reevaluate why we used to tech our children shame. It’s about mutual respect. Without that, we continue a downward spiral.

  Because God forbid a women be topless... So disrespectful. We need to start shaming people who comment online again, remove all anonymity so we can publicly shame them for saying something stupid like a women voting topless should be shamed.

    In this particular case it is. You can’t wear political clothing in a polling place. This law applies to everyone. To indignantly take your shirt off is disrespectful to the people there. It would be the same if it were a man taking his shirt off. The fact you instantly made it into some sort of anti-feminist or sexist screed sounds paranoid. Are we really this suspicious of each other? Do you honestly think “no shirt, no shoes, no service” makes for a worse society?

"The woman said she has always been supportive of efforts like New Hampshire’s “Free the Nipple” campaign, though she doesn’t actively participate in such movements." Aha! Even more electioneering - where does it end with this woman? :)
