my opinion is that breastfeeding and breastmilk pumping should be socially acceptable anywhere and at any time

if men get to take off their shirts because it’s hot out women get to take off their shirts to feed children

Everyone always says this, but is it really acceptable for men to be shirtless in public other than at the beach?

I feel like if a shirtless guy walked down Main Street where I live, people would get upset and maybe call the police.

As a Floridian, I’ve walked around shirtless plenty when it’s gotten hot, often with my removed shirt slung over my shoulder or something similarly unfashionable. I’m not particularly toned or muscular. Nobody’s ever complained or even given me a dirty look that I noticed for it.

Yeah, same.

But like California is not that different from Florida in climate and it’s true I rarely see shirtless men here, now that I think about it. How bizarre.

This is completely the WRONG direction for topless equality to go.

I feel strongly that this is the correct direction for topless equality

how can anyone who has read a historical romance novel not think it a societal failure that we have raised generations of people who will never experience the erotic frisson of seeing one’s beloved in his shirtsleeves for the first time
