Swedes stand up for topless rights
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Swedish women are fighting a new sexual revolution - the right to go topless at pools and beaches.
Scandinavian feminists were outraged when two women were asked to cover up their breasts by a lifeguard at a public pool near Stockholm, the Daily Mail's website reported.
On of the women, 22-year-old Ragnhild Karlsson, said "If women are forced to wear a top, shouldn't men also have to?"
The result is a campaign group called Bara Bradiost, which translates as Just Breasts.
A spokeswoman for the group said women should feel comfortable taking their tops off wherever they went.
"We want our breasts to be as normal and desexualised as men's, so that we too can pull off our shirts at football matches."
The Sweden's equal opportunities ombudsman will decide whether or not to take up the case later this month, the website said.
