A judge has ruled that women may jog naked in the Pine Tree State. Apparently the law concerning public nudeness and lewdness is quite specific in stating that the genitals must show.

Now I’m not now, nor have I ever been (Shirley MacLaine’s weird beliefs notwithstanding) a woman, but I can’t imagine how one could display female genitals while jogging, at least not without slowing down progress considerably. And even if I could imagine it, I don’t want to.

The trial was short:

Female Defendant: Did you see my genitals?

Arresting Officer: Not that I recall

Female Defendant: No further questions, your honor. Defense rests.

Clearly this is a law that discriminates against (most) men. It will have to be rewritten. One wonders just how they’ll handle it. They can’t go after bare chests, because then the women could still jog wearing nothing but bikini tops. Maybe they can look for guidance to the Olympic ice skating competition.
