    I’m in Washington State.

    It’s not illegal for women to be topless. Anywhere that it’s acceptable for aan to be topless, legally it is the same for a woman.

    Anyways, I question the argument that western society has sexualized the female breast and that there’s not an inherent attraction there, and idgaf about frued or why even, it’s there. Every person who finds breasts attractive remembers the first time they saw a pair and were just dumbstruck in awe at them, like they were in silhouette with choirs singing.

    My thinking, besides covering up because of cold, is a safety issue, on multiple fronts.

    1. You got boobs on your chest, they can catch branches. scratch scratch, sweat, infection, ded. That’s a bad look.
    2. Motherfucking grabby people. especially back in ye olden where ppl took what they could get and it was a lot easier to get away with shit.
    3. Some men be thirsty, crazy thirsty. Or just crazy. Maybe if Helen had covered the fuck up Troy would still be a thing, we don’t know. And not to go full saudi levels of modesty, but there is some truth there. Yes. Teach your men not to rape, 100% could not agree more. But college cheer squads shouldnt do a 10k nude awkwardly dropping their things that are really hard to pick up. Imagine the millions of dollars of damage from ppl wrecking as they drove by. Imagine the headlines, “City Destroyed! Miles in ruins. 87 dead along the path of destruction. {Local university} cheer squad knew their one weakness, they were weak!”

    The points extreme but that’s also the point, in its vagueness we can all gleen the wisdom that is the sentences intent.

    I can flip it to prove the point. A football cornerback teaching college freshwomen their O-chem in grey sweats is gonna be suuuper distracting, yea? Especially as he has to show everyone how to set up titrations or distillation glassware.

    This isn’t new thinking. Modesty has existed for forever. Women do not need low cut clothing (even if it’s my fav) to be sexy. Sex appeal is within the person. Just think about the various ways a school uniform could be worn. It can made suggestive. How a person carries themselves (I call it grace) will make or break attractiveness, writ large.

    So idk. There’s a lot there. In my opinion and the law of my state, go ahead. It’s yr body, I don’t, nor should anyone, own you.

    I would be concerned for yr safety tho, cuz some folk jus be wack yo and some wack folk mob around w frens. It’s easy to get overwhelmed, for any of us, this ain’t the movies.
