On Tuesday, attorneys for a Utah woman who “considers herself a feminist” and was charged in February with with three counts of misdemeanor lewdness after going bare-breasted in front of her stepchildren, asked a judge to dismiss the charges and change a Utah law, as The Salt Lake Tribune reported.  If Tilli Buchanan, who was bare-breasted in front of children ranging from nine to 13 years old, is convicted of the charge, she could be required to register as a sex offender for 10 years.

Buchanan’s attorneys contend that the Utah law under which Buchanan is charged is unjust because it views men and women who go bare-chested differently, as Buchanan’s husband had joined her to strip down after installing insulation in their garage and he was not charged with a crime.
