I am not against topless women at all

I don't know if patriarchy has anything to do with it. Men and women should be equally free to go topless, in places where it's allowed.

@Northwest Patriarchy has nothing to do with it.

Blame the God squad!!
It's not unusual in Europe.
TheArbitrator · 36-40, M
@Harriet03 Women are more likely to be religious than men.
Harriet03 · 41-45, F
@TheArbitrator Hardly anyone in Europe.
We've all grown up!!

@Harriet03 Re. God-squadding, funnily enough this hasn't always been the case (for example mediaeval people of all classes not merely bathed and saw each other naked, but in mixed company). The only remnant of the great middle ages' bathing culture left is the sauna in the north.

It all changed not because of the Church particularly (though rigid protestants probably deserve some blame), but because of climate change - the start of the Little Ice Age - which saw more wood being burned just to stay warm than to heat water.

Anyway, digression, but until that point, neither the Church nor anyone else had much of a problem with in-context nipple-baring. It's only since then we've somehow got the idea that it's inherently bad, ingrained.

I blame the Victorians and/or the Enlightenment. Most stuff is their fault!

They pretty much can, there are only 3 states remaining who have women can't go topless laws. Cities who have them tend to loose in court when people push it. Mostly it is that they don't want to go topless.

I've been a proponent of topless gender equality for years. Free the mind, free the nipple, and free the soul.

Not on sw, you'll get your posts flagged as nvdity if you show mipples
ViciDraco · 36-40, M
@Fishy so long as it's equally applied I'm okay with that categorization
DearAmbellina2113 · 41-45, F
Too fat to go topless but Idc who else does it.
ViciDraco · 36-40, M
@DearAmbellina2113 that's a separate issue I think we need to get over. "I don't want to" is perfectly acceptable to me. But "I would if I was X" where X is a subjective cultural view of body type is a thing I'd like to see us evolve beyond.

In New York, women are allowed to be topless anywhere men can be.
SW-User
Actually in my state, women can be topless.
arkod · 36-40, M
Because of my grandma.
Magenta · F
@arkod So lovely. Exactly part of the issue.
ViciDraco · 36-40, M
Do you want other men seeing your daughter topless? Your niece? Your wife?

The patriarchy isn't just men's rampaging hormones. It's also about possessiveness, jealousy, and a general belief that they know what is better for women.

@tiktok it's almost like that came about as a result of puritanical religions
Magenta · F
@ViciDraco Wise. It opens up so many issues.
QueenandCrown · 41-45, F
Because of unevolved mentalities..
SW-User
pretty much
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
because of piracy
TheArbitrator · 36-40, M
They have actually done a poll on this, and most men said, "yes, it's fair for women to walk around topless." It was the women who disagreed.
TheArbitrator · 36-40, M
I disagree with that. Most men would love to see women topless in public. It's the women who don't want to see other women's boobs.
TheArbitrator · 36-40, M
@SW-User Women make up the majority of voters now, so if that's what you guys want, I don't see what's stopping ya.
SW-User
@TheArbitrator yeah yeah, i’m not gonna even try to be logical with you. imma just say, women wanna see some titties
TheArbitrator · 36-40, M
@SW-User Not as much as much as men wanna see some titties.
Mrsbetweenfatandfit · 26-30, F
Make everyone cover their nipples for equality 🙏🏽
ViciDraco · 36-40, M
@Mrsbetweenfatandfit I tend to lean the other way. Let people wear as much or as little as they want so long as things are kept hygienic.
Mrsbetweenfatandfit · 26-30, F
@ViciDraco we all should feel free to express that opinion 🌻
