Breast feeding in public fine so this should be too. But I worry about perverts and the "they had it coming with the way they dress" people
So I'm more worried about what other people might do to them not the women themselves. Some people are just animals

If man can go topless women can go topless if one of the sexes is not allowed, both shall be forbidden. Easy questing easy answer.
Also im disgusted by man walking topless no matter their body type, so I wouldn't mind to just make it both illegal altogether.

For sure they should. We need to grow tf up and stop making everything about sex. It's like "oh, we retain our modesty and dignity, but here

ChaoticNeutralNecromancer
I think when it's really hot outside or when going to the beach, yes. walking topless for no reason, man or woman, is impudent.
leroy666
Oh no; nor Impudent.
stormegedendarklordofall
If they are sexual about it, no. If they act like a normal person, yes. If the area has laws against men going without a shirt, no.
bamboolemur
How about if a guy acted all sexual about having his shirt off?
Then he should be charged with sexual harassment.
If I want to walk around at the beach and flex my abs, I should be able to! That doesn't count as harassment.
If your doing it in a sexual nature, no you should not. But otherwise, go ahead.
1) How do you determine what type of ab flexing is sexual? 2) In instances when you have deemed it sexual, how does it hurt/harass others?
oprahslovechild
Who desides what is sexual?
Whomever writes the version of the law that is pasted. Or whomever wrote the definition used by said law.
sunlight
Men could be sexual about their moobs and we let them walk around with them out
What would YOU do if a man was acting sexual about is boobs.
Probably laugh. Just like I would if a woman did.
And how would you react then if the person being harassed called the police?
I wasn't talking about being harassed. I was talking about someone being overly sexual about their bare chest. If some dummy is out there
thegrimcoder
I agree, and I would argue the picture above has sexual undertones.
BenderBenderBender
Is it the duckface?
Definitely
astrogeek
I don't see it. They are standing topless. It's not sexual but maybe in the eye of the beholder…
Topless, arching backs, duck lips for one of the ladies, if they were standing around just chating, not sexual, but they are showing off.
liesuponlies
Many girls just pose for their photos with duck lips and frankly duck lips aren't very sexy
What does that mean?
eion85
Define "sexual", and men can't be sexual with just their shirts off?
Well, men can be. And if they go to far they get arrested. What I mean by is if they are intentionally topless just to draw attention.
That seems like a really hard law to enforce fairly given current cultural attitudes.
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
How so? I mean, you can't just be out tweaking your nipples at people, but other than that guys have carte blanche
I can't find a single case of a shirtless man being arrested for such an act.
My point being unless you're harrasing someone you won't be bothered as a male, so why are females different?
PuppyDontCare
So if a woman has a really short skirt to draw sexual attention is that wrong too?
No, but if you are rubbing up against a guy and he says stop then that's wrong.
Well yeah, so clothes are not the issue. They'd be in trouble for rubbing not for wearing/not wearing clothes.
TheImageDumpersCC
Why not, it doesn't hurt anyway, I wouldn't do it, but I also won't wear shorts so you know.

doesnt it? really? come back when you are shaking from shock and anger and sadness over having been looked at like a steak on a buffet.
You don't have to do it moron, if it makes you uncomfortable (as it would for me) don't do it. Simple.
its not what i wear that makes me uncomftorable, its how people treat me. so fuck no, its their actions who will have to change, not mine.
No it's not if you dont like something dont do it it's that easy no one is forcing you grow the fuck up. Women like you make us all look bad
again, i have no problem with what i myself do, however i have a massive problem with how others act, because they behave as hungry animals.
OldEricCool
If the logic is that female breasts are not necessarily sexual, then would public toplessness extend to girls of all ages? If the answer 1/2
ZeroHedge
Very nuanced discussion. I believe if you could Socrates up an ideal society, then toplessness wouldn't matter regarding age or sex. But 1/2
Now that we live in a society where the stigma does exist for underage women, it would be difficult to implement. 2/2
ChrisMendez123
Interesting point
hblb229
What I think is weird is that people give me a hard time for letting my 5 year old not wear a shirt when she doesn't want to when playing.
Like, wtf is wrong with you people!?!
ah, and from the 70s up until the 00s, this was completely normal in Norway, by women of all ages. And no, the women were not sexualized.
izoli413365
Norway knows best, or maybe places like Pakistan have it right where ppl throw acid on women who dare refuse men, then get persecuted for it
JonathanHoag
At least where I'm from (SE USA) it is acceptable for prepubescent girls to be topless, because breasts are sexual and little girls are not.
Also I realized that when I was a kid it was really common to see men without shirts but it's really uncommon now and I wonder why.
So if we're going to say that breasts are not sexual then we're just extending topless freedom to all ages.
moosehugger
Breasts will be sexual here, its too ingrained in our society atm. These laws are about equal rights, even rights most people may not use.
TheTitan94
Here's my take on the whole ingrained thing. If my gf touches my nipples I get nothing. If I touch hers she gets off. Waaaaay off.
So I don't think it's society as much as human anatomy just makes nipples on a woman seem alot more sensitive
rayvn
That's just natural variation tho...my nipples (female) do nothing at all for me, I've been with a couple guys who say theirs feel amazing
MeezerStandardTime
In countries where women bare their breasts, the children go topless too. Here people would take pictures and post on adult websites...
spetcnaz
I have yet to see a country where women openly walk topless on the streets.
People don't normally walk around topless on the street. Men, women and children would go topless at beaches and pools. Why not?
grobesviech
Beaches in Spain have a lot of topless women and girls
Those are special areas, and not the norm. People who enjoy seeing bare breasts go to those beaches for that reason.
Those are "special places" where people don't to wear much clothing, yes.... we aren't talking about supermarkets.
is no, then clearly they must be considered sexual, even to those in support of public toplessness. I'm curious to see what people think.2/2
hahah dude you do realize most young girls do walk around "topless", right?
zoool
Dude that is a REALLY good point. Nice +1
Alicecold
I am curious what age you believe it'll be not ok? There is not really much difference between boobs and boobs and not boobs, really.
GoIIum
I'd be okay with living in a world where being topless is accepted for all ages and sexes but I think it might be difficult to jump there 1/
Clothes are, in many circumstances a social construct.There are, after all, only two basic models( more or less). Get over body consciousness. Wear em if you wish; or not!
from where we are now with female beasts being so sexualized in most cultures. An intermediate step could be to restrict by age first.
Dustbina
Male abs and pecs are also quite sexualized, despite how much people ignore the fact. Surely this can be applied to adolescent boys etc too
crookednixon
True, but so are female thighs. And those CAN be shown in public, so I think degrees matter here.
NotACanadian
Kids don't usually get abs and pecs.
I knew several boys with very adult bodies from ages 13-16, who were pretty ripped too.
leekyfaucet
They don't usually get tits either
I don't know, girls usually get them pretty young.
imgurdmf
sure but 90% of the places i live near will refuse service do to no shirt just like they do to males.
Refusing service to a topless woman would be the result of the patriarchy. Don't you know how victim mentality works? Duh

there's nothing they can do. /2
I admit that as a woman without kids, I've never thought of this. Thanks for posting.
No problem. I only realized it when I had kids. It's legal here, and made me feel much more secure when I had to breastfeed in public.

I've seen a few on public beaches. Not often tho
It's definitely not socially acceptable yet; which is why I usually go to the nude beach (I live in Toronto).

RanaldMcDanald
In Texas it's legal to be nude in public as long as you don't show any reproductive organs.
So you can show butt hole?
You cannot show butt hole. That falls under genitals. Breasts do not.
Unless you shit out babies then it's legal.

Vermont is closer. In Vermont you can be nude in public, but it is illegal to take your clothes off in public.

Yes, but they cant complain when people look. Just like men dont complain when people look at there bellys hangin out
yes you can, bc staring at people is rude, and something you can go up and confront someone over. you cant justify your glare by the fact 1/
that you like what you see, that just makes matters worse. people are not buffets for the eyes, they are not objects. so yes, 2/
you can complain when others treat you as if you are.

I think when it's really hot outside or when going to the beach, yes. walking topless for no reason, man or woman, is impudent.
leroy666
Oh no; nor Impudent.
stormegedendarklordofall
If they are sexual about it, no. If they act like a normal person, yes. If the area has laws against men going without a shirt, no.
bamboolemur
How about if a guy acted all sexual about having his shirt off?
stormegedendarklordofall
Then he should be charged with sexual harassment.
bamboolemur
If I want to walk around at the beach and flex my abs, I should be able to! That doesn't count as harassment.
stormegedendarklordofall
If your doing it in a sexual nature, no you should not. But otherwise, go ahead.
bamboolemur
1) How do you determine what type of ab flexing is sexual? 2) In instances when you have deemed it sexual, how does it hurt/harass others?
oprahslovechild
Who desides what is sexual?
stormegedendarklordofall
Whomever writes the version of the law that is pasted. Or whomever wrote the definition used by said law.
sunlight
Men could be sexual about their moobs and we let them walk around with them out
stormegedendarklordofall
What would YOU do if a man was acting sexual about is boobs.
sunlight
Probably laugh. Just like I would if a woman did.
stormegedendarklordofall
And how would you react then if the person being harassed called the police?
sunlight
I wasn't talking about being harassed. I was talking about someone being overly sexual about their bare chest. If some dummy is out there
thegrimcoder
I agree, and I would argue the picture above has sexual undertones.
BenderBenderBender
Is it the duckface?
stormegedendarklordofall
Definitely
astrogeek
I don't see it. They are standing topless. It's not sexual but maybe in the eye of the beholder…
thegrimcoder
Topless, arching backs, duck lips for one of the ladies, if they were standing around just chating, not sexual, but they are showing off.
liesuponlies
Many girls just pose for their photos with duck lips and frankly duck lips aren't very sexy
leroy666
What does that mean?
eion85
Define "sexual", and men can't be sexual with just their shirts off?
stormegedendarklordofall
Well, men can be. And if they go to far they get arrested. What I mean by is if they are intentionally topless just to draw attention.
eion85
That seems like a really hard law to enforce fairly given current cultural attitudes.
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
How so? I mean, you can't just be out tweaking your nipples at people, but other than that guys have carte blanche
eion85
I can't find a single case of a shirtless man being arrested for such an act.
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
My point being unless you're harrasing someone you won't be bothered as a male, so why are females different?
PuppyDontCare
So if a woman has a really short skirt to draw sexual attention is that wrong too?
stormegedendarklordofall
No, but if you are rubbing up against a guy and he says stop then that's wrong.
PuppyDontCare
Well yeah, so clothes are not the issue. They'd be in trouble for rubbing not for wearing/not wearing clothes.
TheImageDumpersCC
Why not, it doesn't hurt anyway, I wouldn't do it, but I also won't wear shorts so you know.

TheImageDumpersCC
You don't have to do it moron, if it makes you uncomfortable (as it would for me) don't do it. Simple.
TheGirlWhoWantsATiger
its not what i wear that makes me uncomftorable, its how people treat me. so fuck no, its their actions who will have to change, not mine.
TheImageDumpersCC
No it's not if you dont like something dont do it it's that easy no one is forcing you grow the fuck up. Women like you make us all look bad
TheGirlWhoWantsATiger
again, i have no problem with what i myself do, however i have a massive problem with how others act, because they behave as hungry animals.
OldEricCool
If the logic is that female breasts are not necessarily sexual, then would public toplessness extend to girls of all ages? If the answer 1/2
ZeroHedge
Very nuanced discussion. I believe if you could Socrates up an ideal society, then toplessness wouldn't matter regarding age or sex. But 1/2
ZeroHedge
Now that we live in a society where the stigma does exist for underage women, it would be difficult to implement. 2/2
ChrisMendez123
Interesting point
hblb229
What I think is weird is that people give me a hard time for letting my 5 year old not wear a shirt when she doesn't want to when playing.
hblb229
Like, wtf is wrong with you people!?!
TheGirlWhoWantsATiger
ah, and from the 70s up until the 00s, this was completely normal in Norway, by women of all ages. And no, the women were not sexualized.
izoli413365
Norway knows best, or maybe places like Pakistan have it right where ppl throw acid on women who dare refuse men, then get persecuted for it
JonathanHoag
At least where I'm from (SE USA) it is acceptable for prepubescent girls to be topless, because breasts are sexual and little girls are not.
JonathanHoag
Also I realized that when I was a kid it was really common to see men without shirts but it's really uncommon now and I wonder why.
JonathanHoag
So if we're going to say that breasts are not sexual then we're just extending topless freedom to all ages.
moosehugger
Breasts will be sexual here, its too ingrained in our society atm. These laws are about equal rights, even rights most people may not use.
TheTitan94
Here's my take on the whole ingrained thing. If my gf touches my nipples I get nothing. If I touch hers she gets off. Waaaaay off.
TheTitan94
So I don't think it's society as much as human anatomy just makes nipples on a woman seem alot more sensitive
rayvn
That's just natural variation tho...my nipples (female) do nothing at all for me, I've been with a couple guys who say theirs feel amazing
MeezerStandardTime
In countries where women bare their breasts, the children go topless too. Here people would take pictures and post on adult websites...
spetcnaz
I have yet to see a country where women openly walk topless on the streets.
MeezerStandardTime
People don't normally walk around topless on the street. Men, women and children would go topless at beaches and pools. Why not?
grobesviech
Beaches in Spain have a lot of topless women and girls
spetcnaz
Those are special areas, and not the norm. People who enjoy seeing bare breasts go to those beaches for that reason.
MeezerStandardTime
Those are "special places" where people don't to wear much clothing, yes.... we aren't talking about supermarkets.
OldEricCool
is no, then clearly they must be considered sexual, even to those in support of public toplessness. I'm curious to see what people think.2/2
TheGirlWhoWantsATiger
hahah dude you do realize most young girls do walk around "topless", right?
zoool
Dude that is a REALLY good point. Nice +1
Alicecold
I am curious what age you believe it'll be not ok? There is not really much difference between boobs and boobs and not boobs, really.
GoIIum
I'd be okay with living in a world where being topless is accepted for all ages and sexes but I think it might be difficult to jump there 1/
leroy666
Clothes are, in many circumstances a social construct.There are, after all, only two basic models( more or less). Get over body consciousness. Wear em if you wish; or not!
GoIIum
from where we are now with female beasts being so sexualized in most cultures. An intermediate step could be to restrict by age first.
Dustbina
Male abs and pecs are also quite sexualized, despite how much people ignore the fact. Surely this can be applied to adolescent boys etc too
crookednixon
True, but so are female thighs. And those CAN be shown in public, so I think degrees matter here.
NotACanadian
Kids don't usually get abs and pecs.
Dustbina
I knew several boys with very adult bodies from ages 13-16, who were pretty ripped too.
leekyfaucet
They don't usually get tits either
NotACanadian
I don't know, girls usually get them pretty young.
imgurdmf
sure but 90% of the places i live near will refuse service do to no shirt just like they do to males.
Crockpotseal
Refusing service to a topless woman would be the result of the patriarchy. Don't you know how victim mentality works? Duh

In Texas it's legal to be nude in public as long as you don't show any reproductive organs.
