Should men be allowed to be shirtless in public?

[JambledUpWords]

Why is this allowed?

 

[Catgirl Tyranid]

Only if they aren't ugly.

 

[Lord of the Large Pants]

No. In fact we should go back to the days when both men and women wore hats and gloves all the time.

Not because I'm a prude, but because it was badass.

 

[Jace on ice]

Not in America, I tire of seeing gunts flapping in the breeze.

 

[Neo-Nazi Rich Evans]

chrischan made this exact point decades ago. as for your question, i do agree, ive always found it weird for guys to walk around shirtless in public. it doesnt even matter if they are fat or fit, just find it weird to see.

 

[Dawdler]

We are allowed to go shirtless

 

[Internet Wizard]

Only if they're lean muscular

 

[Karen of Human Resources]

Because mens chests aren't seen as inherently sexual the way women's are.

To alter this perception, I propose we call on the furry fandom and hentai artists to produce ever more extreme milking fetish art as a psyop.

Banish the nipple!

 

[*Grunts Softly*]

yes its ok

 

[Spiny Rumples]

Depends on the location. In most places, no. Special zones are allowable because people don't think about it.
For example, in beach towns, everyone goes around in thick underwear and nobody bats an eye.
Gym wear is usually pretty revealing but it's practical and the gym members are almost always adults, so presenting one's body to others is acceptable.
Workers on a hot day need to do what they can to get by. Pride is a secondary goal. In 100F weather they wear bright neon vests and no pants because they have to, and we should not look down them from our positions of privilege.

I would prefer it if we tried a social experiment where men were required to go out shirtless.

Sure, we would see more net fat bodies in the beginning, but it would put body image in the forefront of most men's minds where it belongs like it was when the average BMI was much lower. Men will likely on average eat less and go the the gym more. Men that don't keep up will be more likely to stay at home, and women observing men getting slimmer and muscular will realize that they have to work harder too if they want to get a partner, and therefore the women will become more attractive as well.

Lots of people don't know the history of this very thing.

You see, a long time ago everyone wore dresses. Except men called them robes or tunics or whatever. They were dresses. Everyone wore them all the time, even in the shower.

But then one day a man dared to go topless.

Spoiler: Actual photo

This man was Jesus. He was the first man to be seen bare chested. Jesus died so that all men would be able to walk around with their vestigial nipples exposed.

It's in the Bible.

 

[Major]

No. Because I feel exposed without three inches of cotton enveloping me at all times

 

[Kiwisee]

Only fat men and women should be shirtless in public because everyone should have the opportunity to go whale watching without having to travel.

 

[The Ugly One]

Why is this allowed?

They really should be wearing bikini tops. That would look better.

 

[Justa Grata Honoria]

Only if they aren't ugly.

Only if they don't have bitch tits which is 90% of them

@JambledUpWords spoiler that shit I am going to need eyebleach

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

No. In fact we should go back to the days when both men and women wore hats and gloves all the time.

Not because I'm a prude, but because it was badass.

Proper Hats are underrated, fuck JFK for causing them to go out of style

 

[redcent]

Sure, as I am an adult and am too busy going on with my own life to bother caring what other people look like. Besides, it's hot.

All of this on the condition I don't have to deal with shit fits over me or anyone wearing shorts or slacks that aren't out of an MC Hammer music clip, particularly in hot weather. Said shit-fitters should be made to wear five layers of woolly jumpers and enjoy heat-stroke.

 

[More AWS-8Q Than You]

I'm not sure if I'm proud of my fellow farmers for not posting this or ashamed.

To be fair, with the rise of obesity, most people don't have much good to show off.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

I see what you did there
