To cover or not to cover

Co • Mon, Jan 12

I've always wondered why can't I take my shirt off when it's sweltering outside or how come That guy over there doesn't wear a bra and is nipping which is totally cool but when I don't it's like all hell breaks loose (there have been times and it's always been when I forget a sports bra for the gym and don't want to wear my sweaty bra the rest of the day)

I understand keeping pants on and underwear because those are sexual organs, but breasts aren't sexual organs. They're the same as a man's. We have mamory glands and guess what? Men do too, but because women have babies and all the hormones that help with the babies, ours are larger, but men can lactate too. They've just got so much testosterone that they're smaller.

I hate that for guys my chest is sexualized. The only reason it's sexual is because it's portrayed as such. I don't think I should have to endure wearing a bra on a day that's literally melting road cones. That's ridiculously uncomfortable. Or maybe I want to go swimming but forgot my top, it sucks that I have to wear a shirt or simply not swim.

It's different for everyone. Some people prefer that the chest of women is sexualized and should be covered but others would like some freedom from the bust rules.

What do you think?
