Men can take their shirts off for hot days and exercise. Why can't women do the same in 2025? (pawb.social)

Aside from men being horny in the 1800s, and this being a holdover since that time, is there any actual reason why this hasn't changed?

If society was dominated by women, would this be more likely to change?

I was sweating my ass off hiking in the hot sun, and the question has been bothering me all day after my top soaked through with sweat.

I get what you're saying. I also think society is too sensitive about nudity in general. I'm certainly not saying men should be fined for not wearing a shirt, it's just my perspective. At the beach or pool is normal, but not just out on the street. Anyway I was only trying to say I don't think stardards between men and women are so different in this particular case. Well I mean standards are definitely different, but (laws aside) not black and white different.
