...the problem with that attitude is it means other people have to censor themselves just for your comfort.

You have a right to be put off by it but I mean, we don't censor people with facial features we don't like or horrible clothing choices...

In my community there are places they don't have to. Such as nude beaches and nude colonies. So I don't go there, obviously, and they can go there and be topless or full on naked.

Also, I feel public nudity is different from fashion. It's just cultural differences. There are places outside where I live where it is legal too so... there are a lot of options for them.

I think the problem is that breasts are associated with "reproduction," and as such are perceived differently than, say, a facial deformity or a teal-and-pink windbreaker. Is it really "censoring" to cover up one's genitals in public? Would you be okay with men walking around without pants or underwear? (Honest question!)

For the record, I think it should be illegal for men to go shirtless outside of pools, beaches, etc. Most stores, restaurants, and other establishments in my area ban shirtless men from entering, anyway.

Honestly, if we all suddenly went around naked everyone would eventually get used to it.

native peoples living in tropical rainforests who haven't embraced "modernization" go around nude with no problems

I'm perfectly okay with all men walking around in their birthday suits if all women do it too

The key word here is "tropical." They don't need clothing to protect themselves from the elements as people living in harsher climates do.

riiiiiight, so when men are allowed to bare their torso, women aren't allowed because they need protection from the elements? wow, women are sooooo delicate.

Would you be okay with men walking around without pants or underwear?

No (to the underwear question), nor would I be okay with women doing the same thing. But I don't put breasts in that category. I also do not think they are associated in the mind with reproduction as much as they are with men's sexual desires.

How do you feel about public breastfeeding?

Also, why on Earth do you think men shouldn't be allowed to go shirtless? I'm not talking about restaurants and such - if it's a private establishment the owner can set the rules. I'm talking about just in public. Why? There's nothing there for them to cover up.

Men have nipples. Nipples and breasts are associated with reproduction and sex. Some men can lactate. It's not fair for women to cover up their nipples and breasts when men are allowed to flaunt them around.

Funnily enough, though, most people don't think men's nipples are that big of a deal. We see them all the time. Men are allowed to bare them in a lot of situations when women aren't. And I think it's odd that your response to this would be "make them men cover them up!" I have never met a person who had a specific aversion to nipples.

They are associated with sex but that doesn't mean they're defined by sex. Nipples can be erogenous zones, but so can feet, necks, and lips (for example). They are not associated with reproduction but in fact aren't directly involved in the reproductive act - they are involved with nourishing children, which I think is nothing to be ashamed of and nothing to hide.

In fact reproduction itself is a central part of human existence and I don't think we should censor or hide reproduction. I can definitely get on board with not having one's genitals hanging out, but not specifically because of their reproductive connotation. Breasts and nipples are very different things from genitals, anyway.

AYRT

Some people do put breasts in that category (and conflate "reproduction" with "sexual desires," too). For those people, exposed breasts aren't much more acceptable than bared genitals.

I personally think public breastfeeding should be banned.

And to be consistent, if women are banned from being shirtless, men should too, right?

Some people do put breasts in that category (and conflate "reproduction" with "sexual desires," too)

I kinda think this is a problem though. I mean if everyone in your community is literally ok with that then it's one thing but the consequences of that end up being that people have to censor their own bodies for others' comfort.

Why ban public breastfeeding? What is it about nourishing an infant that is so offensive??? D: I mean I do find that kind of upsetting tbh
