Men.. Which would you choose in regard to equality as it relates to laws on going topless?

Asked by Jenniehowell (2214points) August 31st, 2013

Which would be better in regard to equality as it relates to people being topless? Would it be better if we allow all people (women and men) to be topless whenever they wish on our public streets and publicly visible in their private yards? Or should we expect that everyone stay equally covered and never reveal the boobs, back and belly on display together for public consumption? Should men who register a bra size have to wear bikini tops at locations where swimming occurs or should the women be permitted to go sans bikini top?

In the summertime I often see men out jogging, riding bikes, mowing lawns etc. with their shirts off. Some of those men are fit while most others are not. In general, as a lesbian I’m all too often kinda barfed out by it all regardless of the shape a guy is in. I don’t know why we allow for men to run around hairy, sweating & topless manboobs out for the world to see while women receive scrutiny for doing the same. It is what it is but seeing such thing while driving home today I began to wonder… which would be the most fair solution?

I have heard it said that when it comes to nudists, nude beaches etc., those we’d like to see nude are never the ones who are actually there. Instead, we get to see those who perhaps should be covered. In regard to men with their shirts off in public sweating it out for the world to see… this viewpoint definitely fits if you ask me and all too often it fits with regard to women as well.
