Why can't women be topless if it's perfectly normal for men to be shirtless in public?

Question

Isn't this a gross and unaccepatable case of gender discrimination?

Answer 1

Because bra makes them look more firm than they are in reality.  Gravity works those things down you know :)

Answer 2

Actually, I don't think it is illegal for women to go topless, at least not in many states and/or cities. I know for a fact that it is legal in Maine and NY--there have been court cases that have established it. I think the issue is more a matter of women not wanting the unwanted attention that they might get for being topless in a culture that is uptight about s*x.

In Europe it is normal for women to go topless at the beach or pool. It's a great cultural standard, and one that we prudish Americans should adopt post haste. Post haste, I tell you!

Answer 3

Why not? they already have some pretty skimpy clothing that's acceptable. The same people making a skeptical of that are the ones doing it now so what's the big deal?

Answer 4

Ok, let's just finish off the few remaining men that aren't pervs or preds...and let's tempt them with bouncing titties at Home Depot. Right.

Answer 5

We have more to show. You guys don't stop traffic

Answer 6

well i tend to think a male with out a shirt showing all his cheast hairs are gross.. i like the ones that are tone and have very little hair.. but we don't see many of them .. do we?.as for us women.. have you ever saw one of us that was really old.. that would make you change your mind very quickly.. heck..you would even buy her a shirt just to cover her up..now the cute youngs ones.. which is the ones your hoping to see. would cause a car wreck..

Answer 7

Why bother to answer this, 2 points?.  Women can do as they please.  Society sets the laws, mores and allows into social circles what they wish as seen on YA and the number of thumbs up to the "popular members of the clique".  WTF.

Answer 8

It is not normal unless you are Matthew McConnaghey. If your moobs are bigger than your wife's, put your shirt back on.

Answer 9

Gravity

Answer 10

It's actually way more GROSS when they are topless...

Come to think of it, it doesn't even matter if they are actually wearing a top since they'll do anything to show the repulsiveness...

Answer 11

Many women are too shy to expose their b*****s in public.  Many fear they will not "measure up".  I personally measure very well, but not up do to age, therefore I would have a much larger waistline should I go topless.  The b*****s have long been objects of sexuality and therefore could have a disruptive effect on others causing distraction and accidents in traffic and the workplace for example.  Now another thought is why not just have all of us go nude.  Men, would you like to have it, so to speak, all out there for everyone to compare with no mystery left.  Think of that distraction.  However, it would be up to all the people to vote and choose just how much of what we should legally be allowed to show.  I would continue to tastefully keep my b*****s hidden for reasons stated above.

Answer 12

It is allowed in many countries.

Women just don't take advantage of this as much as men wish they would...

Answer 13

I think you could be a GENIUS.  I vote you for emperor.

Answer 14

Sadly, y'all men can't see b***s in a shirt without driving off the brim of the road, so it's your own fault. You'll just have to learn to deal with us working in bikini tops, I'm afraid, as unfair as it is.

Answer 15

I agree.... provided they are over 18 and under 35.

Answer 16

It would cause too many traffic accidents.  

America is sexually repressed.

Answer 17

It has been my observation that if men are cutting the lawn or other physically taxing, sweaty work, they take their shirts off exposing manboobs that are not a pretty sight, without regard for anybody looking.  Generally, I would simply look away, but I have developed a strategy for extinguishing this behavior.  I yell out the car window, "Nice ****" and honk the horn.  Perhaps if women viewed men as men view women......ah h**l.........
