At what point in time and where was it decided that men can be shirtless but women can't? And trust me, there are many men in this country that are in more serious need of upper chest support than some women. Both men and women have nipples, why is it that since women have more rounded breasts they ought to be covered up, and it's considered "nudity" if they aren't?

In females, breasts are a secondary sex characteristic.

You can stop wondering now.

Before the 1930s it was illegal in this country for men to be shirtless as well.

I think within the next generation we will be ready in America to start talking about public nudity and what is acceptable. I think by 2050 we will at least have female shirtlessness legalized if not full nudity for both sexes.

Because if women walked around without shirts on, men would get "excited" if you know what I mean.

Because nothing would ever get done. I'd never be able to drive anywhere.

Breasts aren't used directly in sex, their primary purpose is to nourish newborns. Of course they are an object of sexual arousal for men, but women can become equally aroused from a shirtless man with an appealing physical figure.

As if there aren't women who get "excited" when they see a man in good shape with no shirt on.

It goes back a long way, I know that much. If you read Agricola and Germania by Tacitus you will see passages where females bared their breasts as a way of exhorting male warriors. By inference it was not normally accepted for females to bare breasts.

Of course there have been more enlightened societies such as Bali or the Nukaks of Colombia where it was acceptable. Pop singer Rihanna has been leading a human rights struggle for the right of females to bare their breasts.

The reactionaries at Instagram deleted her account due to posting of topless photos.

You forgot that women can become extremely aroused by having their breasts stimulated.

I don't know if a woman gets "excited" in the same "area" as men do, given a shirtless man...She may like what she visually sees, that he is built the way she likes...
