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.

I would prefer if men didn't do that either.

I think everyone should be allowed to go shirtless. They ain't hurting nobody. Also, I would if I had a fit body to show off.

Everyone should be allowed to, but i also wish they wouldn't. Not a fan of nipples in public.

This is precisely why I choose to travel to countries where, for either cultural or climatic reasons, it is customary to have more skin covered.

“Nipples in Public” is a great punk name from north west Wales, iirc.

Why are people so obsessed with nipples. They are not particularly different from other body parts
