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.

    Vice versa, they can’t wear skirts for hot days, but gals can.

    The answer is imho, holdovers from more sexist days, and a general attitude of not wanting to be seen as effeminate/photographed by creeps.

    Even though guys have been wearing kilts for many years, in various cultures; and there’s AI slop now anyway that keeps 'em busy instead.

    Iirc it’s also allowed in some countries. Naturism is bigger in them.

      As a man who owns multiple kilts I can confirm there will be some assholes that have something to say.

      On the other hand, those encounters have been outweighed by the compliments and enthusiasm I’ve also gotten.

      All that said, I say just do you. Haters gonna hate, people will judge. Stop caring about those people and live Your life.

      Huge difference between not wearing a skirt because someone might make ofun of you and not being able to be topless because legally you can be registered as a sex offender. gtfo.
