Topless anywhere men can

Really, all public nudity should be legal. The state has no rational interest in forcing everyone to wear clothes. Closest thing is sanitation in public sitting areas, but you obviously don't have to ban public nudity to enforce that.

I totally agree with you!😉
I think it will be very interesting to see how Western society evolves in the coming years with regard to this issue.
There are some places where women have already won the right to go topless through court decisions.
It comes down to one or two 'elephant in the room' questions:
How can anyone in a society that imagines itself as totally free, egalitarian, secular, and pluralistic claim the right to demand that other people attach things to their own bodies?
Aren't we each now supposed to have total personal control over our own bodies?
What future can the concept of 'contemporary community standards' have in world wherein communities are no longer legally allowed to segregate themselves but must inevitably diversify?
I recently read a prediction that the day would soon come when one might walk into a convenience store and see a woman covered head to toe in a burqa and a nun in full habit standing in line with a sky clad wiccan, and in a pluralist society that does seem ultimately plausible.

I've been doing this for years

Mowing the lawn topless... Why not? I do it in summer 😊

I think the standards should be the same, but I don't really like when men go around topless either. Unless they're hot, I mean.
But like at the beach, sure, everyone should be allowed to go topless there.

Grocery stores, restaurants, etc. do not allow men to go topless.

Yes, it's unfair that we have double standards, and it should change.

Anyone with a 38DD, should be free to jog topless. There's what's fair, and what makes sense, and sometime they are two different things.

Sure. It's unfair. They're tits. Who cares?
But the reality is a lot of people care. It would result in so much unwanted attention that it wouldn't be worth it. Can't forget that there's countries that will arrest or kill a woman who isn't entirely covered too. Or that there would be women doing it for the sole reason of garnering attention. But given that you're concerned about tan lines it seems like being comfortable mowing the lawn isn't really what it's about. You're about the physical appearance too. And that's what gets in the way.

Setting aside fairness arguments for a moment, something about the double standard has always just confused me. Showing off some cleavage is broadly considered to be acceptable. Show some cleavage on the top, fine. Show some around the sides and/or the bottom, also fine, if a tad unusual. Show a [i]lot[/i] of cleavage from any angle, and that's considered provocative, but still fine. As far as enforcement of rules is concerned, it seems like a woman is fine provided that her nipples and areolas are covered.

To put it another way, the only chest parts a woman really [i]has[/i] to cover are those few parts that women and men have in common. (Yeah, yeah, large manboobs notwithstanding.) What gives?

You can in a lot of places, in many locations it is not illegal and in many others the laws, usually city laws, have been tested and deemed unconstitutional. It is a violation of the equal protection clause.

Agreed. I personally don't ever want to go topless anywhere public, but you have a point. It is a double standard.

I agree that it is a dumb double standard but I do think some tan lines are sexy.

Nantucket just passed an ordinance allowing anyone to be topless on the beaches.

Its legal in Canada or places in canada for women to be toppless not inside places

No shoes? No shirt? Got the cash? C'mon in!

You should be allowed to go topless if you want ,, up here in Canada we have provinces that you can be topless in your yard ,, beaches or other areas ,, Here in BC Canada we have many places you can be totally nude so no tans lines anywhere ,,,

Go to a different beach ...

I’ve gone into store by the beach Without my shirt. I’ve been a nice department store without my shirt on Why my wife tried different shirts on me. If you’re comfortable I see nothing wrong with walking around and just a pair of shorts are bikini bottom if you’re at a pool or beach

I fully suppprt women being able to be toplesss wherever men can be. It is a double standard. Based on our puritanical heritage in this country. Grocery stores around here are of the no shirt no shoes no service variety however.

I agree you should be free to be topless on the beach if you want. Some people will think its too rude or sexual but its your body tbh. But also people will stare as its natural.

Years ago some women protested for that im Canada and it became legal here, but they never excersize their right to do so

U dont really need to when tanning.....just be observant when u are on a beach or in your back yard

Can u imagine men with topless women around

Im pretty sure that in ohio you can be topless in some public areas like beaches,

I completely agree with you. My wife and I love going to the Caribbean whenever possible because it is much easier to do there

Go to a nude beach and don't worry about tan lines. Well except for the lines your boobs cause by casting a shadow on your chest.

I just love that you are looking at this topic with something that is seldom used lately, COMMON SENSE!!

In porltand oregeon there is a long tradition of standing up for nudity we even have a Nude Bike Parade

It is legal in Ontario Canada for women to go topless but culturally not so much.

I agree 100 %
Although sometimes tan lines look very sexy on women. To me anyway 🤷‍♂️

I guess it depends on where you are ? I’ve seen many topless women on beaches.

There are places here in Canada that you’re allowed to go topless.

Go for it, you can at least do it in your own yard!

I’d love to act like a brat and get adored for it but…

Personally, I wouldn't have an issue with it.

I, without question, agree with you.

I can't agree with you more.

Have you ever tried in nude beach?

I’m fine with it.

ha ha guys woud love that

I agree. We will have to deal with the fallout of people throwing a big deal about it for a while. Once it's normalized it won't really be a thing anymore. People think men would completely lose all control, but they've thought that about showing legs and thighs in the past. The short term would have some commotion but if enough people did it then it would be as controversial as wearing shorts.

You have my full support. Not for the reasons you're thinking of either. To many people at breasts as sexual organs rather then life sustaining baby feeding stations.

You have my vote to go topless.

Yup. Anywhere I can take off [i]my[/i] shirt, women should have that option.

No complains from me
