In order for all bodies to be equal, we have to treat them so.

1. It is interesting that an overweight male with size D manboobs...

...can freely go about without a shirt on, but a woman with A cup breasts cannot.

5. I was channel surfing and stumbled across Sumo

And yeah, if one of those guys pivoted too fast, the referee would have been slapped pretty hard.

So in Japan, in the special case of Sumo, those size Ds make you a famous athlete. No idea what would happen to a woman who removed her top of the arena AC failed and it was miserably muggy to the point where taking your top off was actually a really good idea

4. If we allowed public nudity, it would kill the porn industry...

6. How different we are from the Europeans where, when common sense is pointed out,

they are mature enough to accommodate such change. In the US, it would become a free-for-all with many many men stepping all over themselves to verbally and possibly even physically abuse these women. Yes, we have rare nude beaches that seem to manage quite well with a self-selected "audience," but I don't see that happening at public pools and spas. Far from a prude outlook on this, it is the latter anticipated behavior that gives me pause.

7. This exactly.

I saw the OP and thought, "It must be Spring." This seems to be a perennial topic here. Many will riduculously tout "equality." I will try not to roll my eyes.

8. Many will riduculously tout "equality."

Except it is 100% about equality and women having less body freedom because of the male gaze, and comments like yours.

9. Comments like mine are the problem? They are the reason

a woman would be inundated by harassments if she went topless in most places?

Ok, then.
