Men can take their shirts off for hot days and exercise. Why can't women do the same in 2025? (pawb.social)

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.

Ooh that doesn't sound nice, you shouldn't be hurting yourself.

I'm suggesting you learn [train yourself] to be in the presence of women comfortably without even having to worry about getting an erection. It makes it a lot easier to get to know women.

But if you want a men's only gym there's plenty of hole-in-the-wall places called "Iron Pounders" or something like that. At-home weights are also widely available.

Like the equipment is super nice and it's got everything, they did recentlly add cardio machines after not having them for years which prob caused the shift of gender
