You're right. The law has changed!!! Women can now appear in public bare-topped!!!
When it first changed, I wondered if many women WOULD go 'topless'. Few did - mostly young women - maybe 17 yrs old or so. I only heard of about 4.

A woman protested that while it's perfectly acceptable for men to go without t-shirts and wash their cars in their front driveways, it's considered obscene for a woman to do so. So she did it herself and sued when she was charged with the offense. I think it resulted in a revision of the law there. Personally I wouldn't want my body parts all over a wet car :-) but obviously it was the principal of the thing that was an issue.
