SANTA FE, N.M.
Women members of Santa Fe’s city council are telling their male colleagues “no” when it comes to regulating how little people can wear in the City Different.
The Santa Fe City Finance Committee voted down the latest ordinance drafted by several male members of the council after receiving complaints about this year’s World Naked Bike Ride.
The proposed ordinance would require people to cover up their genital and buttocks areas and females to cover their breast areas. The proposed ordinance defines nudity as:
Nudity means the showing of the human male or female genitals, pubic area, or buttocks with less than a fully opaque covering, the showing of the female breast with less than a fully opaque covering of any part of the nipple, or the showing of the covered male genitals in a discernibly turgid state.
The current law only requires coverage of the primary genitalia.
The three attending Finance Committee members are also the three female members of the council.
Councilor Patti Bushee said she voted it down because it could create discrimination based on gender and could wrap the city up in expensive lawsuits.
“It’s just unfair to mandate in a law that men can take their shirts off and women can’t,” said Bushee. “I don’t think this was that big of a problem that we even needed to get into this.”
Even though the Finance Committee voted down the ordinance, the full council could still approve it. The council could hold a public hearing and then vote on the issue as early as September.
If the women of the council remain united in their opposition to the ordinance, it would take one more council member to join them to defeat the ordinance.
Look at these immoral sinners! Just because they wanted to come together to enjoy the sun on their skin, the fresh air, to experience the uninhibited brotherhood-of-man, by some estimations they are destined for hell.
