Hundreds of members of a UFO cult, including men and women, gathered at California's Venice Beach to protest for women's constitutional rights by taking part in the fourth annual 'Go Topless Day'.

The event, although is traditionally held on the Sunday closest to Women's Equality Day on August 26, will be hosted in numerous US cities and will be repeated in two Canadian cities next weekend.

While some female rebels bore it all, some kept modestly by wearing latex stickers or pasties over their nipples.

Men were clad in bikini tops and bras to protest against the hypocrisy that allows them to be bare-chested in public.

Protesters carried signs that read 'Men and women have nipples. Why should women hide theirs?' and 'Equal topless rights for all or none', while others donned fancy dress.

"The Constitution says women are equal to men in every sense of the word," the Daily Mail quoted Raelian Lara Terstenjak, one of the protestors, as telling Huffington Post.

"But if we don't have the Constitution supporting equal rights in all forms, what good is it?" she added.
