Can someone tell me why...

On a sunny day, men have to take their tops off and reveal their hairy udders?

Honestly if I see one more bowling ball gut I'll heave 😭
Women have to keep their tops on and don't die of heat exhaustion!

Or in a football stadium, what on this green blue and brown earth makes them think they look good?

Haha you have a valid point! It’s not pretty and it’s not clever!! Haha you did make me laugh 😆

I’m sure some people are repulsed by fat women in crop tops too. Doesn’t mean they shouldn’t wear them. If you don’t want to look at certain types of body, just don’t look.

But you can’t avoid it! I’d prefer not to see topless men only on a beach when the weather is hot. I don’t want them in supermarkets or other shops. I’d also prefer not to see short, tight cycling shorts and crop tops too, particularly the flesh coloured scrunch bum ones. Sometimes it’s hard to avoid.

I’m sure some people would prefer not to look at you too.

The point is that other people aren’t there to fulfil the aesthetic preferences of strangers. Other people’s lives and bodies don’t revolve around you and what you like looking at. People can wear what they like and if you don’t like it, that’s not their problem.

Can't get worked up about it. I'm not sure we should be telling people with less than perfect bodies that they should cover up though.

CraftyGoblin · 30/06/2024 20:07

It doesn't bother me. It's just bodies. We all live inside one. We have a naked cyclist goes past sometimes. He gets a lot of aggro with people following and making him pull over to say he's a perv etc.

OP, are you this mean about fat women?

ModernHijabi · 30/06/2024 20:25

I don't think anyone should really be going around toeless. Man or woman.

No, as they don't walk around in public completely topless.
