  • THERE HAS BEEN A TOPLESS PROTEST IN ARGENTINA REGARDING THE

  • ISSUE OF WHETHER OR NOT IT IS ACCEPTABLE OR LEGAL TO

  • SUNBATHE TOPLESS IN WHEN SRS.

  • APPARENTLY A JUDGE IS ARTIE RULED THAT IT IS NOT CRIMINAL

  • BEHAVIOR IF SOMEONE DECIDES TO SUNBATHE TOPLESS.

  • IT IS NOT

  • THAT BIG OF A DEAL WITH ALL MOVE ON WITH OUR LIVES, BUT

  • APPARENTLY THERE WERE BEACHGOERS AT THIS ONE PARTICULAR BEACH WHO

  • WERE UNCOMFORTABLE WHEN A FEW FEMALES WERE SUNBATHING TOPLESS.

  • THEY CALLED THE COPS.

  • THERE WAS AN OVERREACTION TO IT.

  • POLICE ACTUALLY CITED AND NATIONAL CRIMINAL COLD

  • ARTICLE PROHIBITING OF SCENE DISPLACED TO JUSTIFY ASKING

  • THE WOMEN TO LEAVE THE BEACH, ALTHOUGH AT LEAST ONE JUDGE

  • RULED AFTER THE INCIDENT THEY GOING TOPLESS WAS NOT A CRIME.

  • SUNBATHING TOPLESS IS APPARENTLY NOT AS COMMON IN ARGENTINA AS IT

  • IS IN LET'S SAY SPAIN SO SOME PEOPLE WERE MAYBE CAUGHT OFF

  • GUARD AND IT DIDN'T MAKE THEM FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE BUT AGAIN IT

  • WAS NOT OF SCENE TO A WOMAN TO BEAR HER BREAST.

  • THAT IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING OF EVER HEARD.

  • ANYWAY, THE TRIO REFUSED TO PUT ON THEIR BIKINI TOPS WHEN

  • APPROACHED BY OFFICERS AT THIS BEACH THE ATLANTIC COASTAL

  • RESORT AND WHEN SRS.

  • ONE EVEN WITH HER TOP OFF WHEN BEING WARNED ABOUT THEIR

  • BEHAVIOR.

  • FINALLY AT ONE POINT THE COPS THREATENED TO ARREST THEM,

  • HANDCUFF THEM AND ARREST THEM AND THAT IS WHEN THEY

  • FINALLY COMPLIANT BUT THIS ACTUALLY LED TO A LOT OF

  • OUTRAGE IN THE COUNTRY AND SO WOMEN ARE NOW PROTESTING

  • AND THAT INCLUDES PEOPLE WHO ARE PROTESTING TOPLESS AND

  • PEOPLE ARE COMPLETELY CLOSED BUT I THINK WHAT IS INTERESTING

  • ABOUT THIS IS AT ONE STAGE ABOUT 20

  • POLICE OFFICERS AND SIX PATROL CARS ARRIVED WHICH IS ABSURD.

  • THAT KIND OF POLICE REACTION WOULD MAKE IT SEEM AS

  • THOUGH THIS WAS AN INSANE CRIME AND WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING

  • ABOUT IT IMMEDIATELY.

  • BUT APPARENTLY, THERE IS A HUGE ISSUE IN ARGENTINA

  • INVOLVING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN.

  • RECENTLY, A 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL WAS KILLED.

  • SHE WAS DRUGGED AND MURDERED AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE

  • STATISTICS, A WOMAN'S WOMAN IS MURDERED IN ARGENTINA EVERY

  • 30 HOURS.

  • IT IS A BIG PROBLEM THAT WOMEN IN THE COUNTRY

  • FEEL IS GOING UNCHECKED AND THERE IS NOT ENOUGH OF A

  • RESPONSE AND TO SEE A POLICE REACTION OR POLICE REACTION

  • TO SOMETHING AS FRIVOLOUS AS WOMEN SOME BATHING TOPLESS

  • SHOWS A SHARP CONTRAST BETWEEN THE PRIORITIES.

  • THERE IS A HUGE ISSUE OF GENDER INEQUALITY IN ARGENTINA.

  • I WAS ON THE SHOW I BELIEVE WHEN WE REPORTED UP OF THIS STORY OF

  • THE 16-YEAR-OLD AND IT CAUSED A BLACK WEDNESDAY WHICH WAS

  • THE PROTEST THAT WENT THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

  • THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE STANDING WITHIN IN 2016

  • ALONE, 275 GENDER RELATED MURDERS HAPPEN IN THE FIRST

  • FIVE MONTHS IN ARGENTINA.

  • IT IS A PROMINENT ISSUE AND THIS

  • IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE, ALTHOUGH TO GLANCE, YOU ARE LIKE THEY JUST

  • WANTED TO SHOW THEIR BREASTS, IT'S JUST A MINOR ISSUE.

  • BUT IT IS ANOTHER REPRESENTATION OF THE OVERWHELMING ISSUE

  • WHICH IS WOMEN ARE NOT TREATED FAIRLY IN ARGENTINA.

  • IT IS A CULTURAL ISSUE.

  • WHAT IT REMINDS ME OF US WE ARE LOOKING AT SUCH THINGS AS

  • THE WOMEN'S MARGIN YOU GET THOSE WHO WILL RESPONSE WHAT

  • RIGHTS DO NOT HAVE?

  • HAVE WE NOT MOVED ON FROM THIS?

  • THE PIERCE MORGANS OF THE WORLD WHO COME OUT AND SAY THINGS

  • LIKE THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE PROTESTING AS IF

  • THE ONLY REASON WOMEN ACROSS THE WORLD ARE PROTESTING IS

  • BECAUSE OF DONALD TRUMP THAT HE WOULD LOVE TO THINK THAT,

  • HE WAS THE REASON BEHIND IT BECAUSE HE STANDS FOR A MEDIEVAL

  • OUTLOOK ON WOMEN BEING GAGGED THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE STAND FOR.

  • IT IS AN IDEOLOGY THAT STILL PLAGUES A LOT OF NATIONS

  • LIKE ARGENTINA.

  • THERE MIGHT BE LAWS PUT IN PLACE TO ADJUST OUT THERE NOW LOST PUT

  • IN PLACE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS CALLED FOR WHAT IS.

  • IT IS A

  • GENDER -RELATED MURDER WITH MEANING THE PUNISHMENT IS MORE

  • SEVERE AND THEY CAN TRY TO STRIP THIS BACK AND HELP THIS ISSUE

  • BUT IT IS IDEOLOGY THAT IS PROMINENT THERE.

  • EVEN THOUGH IT'S WRITTEN IN LAW WHEN WOMEN CAN GO TOPLESS

  • IT STILL MEANS THAT TOO MANY PEOPLE UNDERMINE WOMEN IN

  • THAT COUNTRY DUCK

  • ISN'T THAT WHERE THE TWO AUSTRALIAN TOURISTS WOMEN

  • THAT WERE KILLED, THEY WENT BACK TO THE GUYS AND THEY BLAMED

  • THE WOMEN FOR GOING BACK TO THE HOUSE WITH THE GUYS AND

  • PARTYING WITH THEM?

  • I DON'T KNOW IF I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE STORY.

  • IT WAS SOMEBODY IN MY COMEDY COMMUNITY ACTUALLY KNEW

  • SOMEONE CONNECTED TO THAT.

  • YOU KNOW WHAT, IT'S FUNNY THAT WE TARGET ARGENTINA BUT

  • THIS IS A WORLD ISSUE.

  • WOMEN ARE DEALING WITH INEQUALITY AND MUCH HE IS KNOW

  • AS A LATINA WOMAN, I HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO THIS IN MIAMI, YOU

  • CAN GO TOPLESS ON THE BEACH AND THEIR PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER DUCK

  • IN MIAMI YOU CAN WEAR STRING AND YOU ARE GOOD THAT BUT I LIKE

  • THAT YOU BROUGHT THAT UP BECAUSE IT JUST SHOWS HOW NORMS

  • PLAY SUCH A HUGE ROLE IN WHAT DOES AND DOESN'T MAKE US

  • UNCOMFORTABLE.

  • IN SPAIN, EVERYONE IS SUNBATHING TOPLESS.

  • WHEN I WENT TO BARCELONA A FEW YEARS AGO, I WAS LIKE AWESOME.

  • I TOOK OFF MY TOP AND NO ONE MADE ME FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE

  • AND IT FELT SO NORMAL AND FINE BUT IF YOU WERE TO DO THAT

  • EVEN AT A NUDIST BEACH HERE IN CALIFORNIA YOU WOULD STILL

  • FEEL LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE IT'S LIKE A SPECIALLY

  • DESIGNATED PLACE WHERE IT IS OKAY TO BEAR THE HUMAN BODY.

  • IT'S ONLY ALLOWED WHEN THEY ARE PAYING FOR IN A MAGAZINE.

  • IT'S TRUE, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ENDED UP TURNING UP TO THE MARCH

  • AND WORK ON WOMEN AND THEN THEY WERE TOLD TO LEAVE BECAUSE

  • IT IS SUCH AN INTERESTING CONCEPT THAT I FEEL LIKE

  • MEN FEEL THAT THEY ARE EMASCULATED BECAUSE THEY

  • CAN LOOK AT THE WOMEN'S BREAST, NOW THEY'RE FORCED TO LOOK

  • AT WOMEN'S PRESS AND THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

  • IT IS A RIDICULOUS IDEOLOGY.

  • IS STILL PLAGUING A LOT OF PLACES BECAUSE WOMEN DOING THIS

  • SEE IT AS AN ACT OF DEFIANCE AND THAT IS POWERFUL.

  • THERE TRYING TO GET A COUPLE OF YARDS WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE

  • EVEN IF A LOT OF ESSAY, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THEM FELT

  • COMFORTABLE BECAUSE EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T FIND A WAY TO MOVE THEM,

  • THEIR ARTIE BEING DISRUPTIVE, THEY'VE ARTIE CAUSED A PROBLEM

  • BY GOING UP TO THEM AND SAYING YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THIS

  • YEAR AND THAT IS RESTAURANTS GET FRUSTRATING BECAUSE SMALL ISSUES

  • LIKE THIS WILL END UP, HAS A DOMINO EFFECT, IT WILL MOVE

  • FORWARD TO WOMEN TRYING TO FEEL DO LITTLE THINGS THAT BEING

  • UNDERMINED.

  • IT IS A WORLDWIDE ISSUE TO FOCUS ON IT BUT IT

  • IS IRONIC THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO IN RESPONSE TO THE WOMEN'S

  • MARGIN LIKE YOU ARE NOT PROTESTING SAUDI ARABIA,

  • LOOK AT WHAT THEY DO TO WOMEN AS AT THE WOMEN'S MARCH AS A

  • WHOLE HAD A SPECIFIC CAUSE.

  • NO, IT WAS SAID TO ENLIGHTEN THE WORLD THAT THERE A LOT OF

  • PROBLEMS GOING ON IN THERE A LOT OF ISSUES THAT STILL

  • UNDERMINE WOMEN.

  • SOME WOMEN PROCESS IN THE MIDDLE EAST ARE

  • BY THE WAY, MAYBE IT MAKES SENSE TO PROTEST AT A FEAR

  • THAT WOMEN'S RIGHTS WOULD ROLL BACK TO THE CRAZINESS THAT

  • YOU EXPERIENCE.

  • YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

  • I HAD SOMEONE ON FACEBOOK MAKE THE SAME ARGUMENT.

  • YOU ARE ALLOWED TO BE AN AMERICAN WHO IS CONCERNED

  • ABOUT AMERICA REGRESSING.

  • THERE WERE WOMEN WHO THERE AND MEN OF ALL BACKGROUNDS WHO HAD

  • VARIOUS ISSUES THAT THEY FELT NEEDED TO BE VOICED AND THAT

  • IS WHAT THAT PROTEST WAS ABOUT.

  • IT WAS NOT JUST ABOUT WOMEN'S

  • RIGHTS, IT WAS ABOUT A HOST OF ISSUES THAT AMERICANS ARE

  • FEARFUL NOW THAT WE HAVE ENTERED A DIFFERENT AGENT AMERICA.

  • THAT IS SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND.

  • BY THE WAY, THE POLITICAL ACTIVISM THAT WE ARE SEEING

  • HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, IN ARGENTINA, AND FRANCE, I

  • LOVE IT.

  • PEOPLE ARE STANDING UP AND SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER.

  • I HOPE THAT PEOPLE CONTINUE TO DO IT IN A PEACEFUL WAY AND

  • WE ACTUALLY GET THINGS DONE.

  • NOW MORE THAN EVER, FEELING PEOPLE ARE ENGAGED IN POLITICS.

  • ABSOLUTELY.

  • THAT'S A SILVER LINING TO ALL THE NEGATIVE STUFF THAT IS

  • HAPPENING AROUND THE WORLD ARE

  • THERE WAS A FANTASTIC PROTESTING GLASGOW SCOTLAND

  • AGAINST DONALD TRUMP.

  • SOME OF THE BEST SIGNS YOU'VE EVER SEEN.

  • THE SCOTTISH HAVE A WAY WITH WORDS, USING OUR OWN SLANG

  • TO INSULT DONALD TRUMP AND I WAS ACTUALLY ON TWITTER

  • TRANSITING THEM FOR AMERICANS.

  • I GET ALL THE TIME THAT PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS ASKING ME

  • WITH REGARD TO THE MARCH, WHAT WERE YOU GUYS MARCHING FOR?

  • YOU CAN FIT IN HUNDRED AND 40 CHARACTERS.

  • KNOW, THIS IS JUST A SYMPTOM OF A GREATER ISSUE AND WOMEN, SOME

  • PEOPLE THINK THAT PROTESTING TO BE TOPLESS IS SILLY, BUT IT

  • REALLY IS JUST SOMEBODY'S WAY OF SAYING WE ARE TIRED.

  • WERE FRUSTRATED, WE DON'T GET PAID AS MUCH WE ARE ABUSED,
