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.

A few women I've asked are happy with it being illegal - they say they just don't want to see it. I don't think I've ever met a man who wants it to stay illegal, because for the most part they do want to see it

    As a guy I kinda laugh to myself about those guys who walk around without a shirt on down the street

    Yeah. There's the dudes who have spent a lot of time at the gym, and really want the opportunity to let everyone know that. Then there's the schlubby dudes who are just feeling too hot and DGAF what anyone else thinks. Not sure who's more worthy of respect, there
