Men can take their shirts off for hot days and exercise. Why can't women do the same in 2025? (pawb.social)

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.

Wear a mesh sports bra?

There's fewer women than men up until elderly age.
The only way you can take your shirt off for hot days and exercise without getting too much male attention, is when there's enough female competition that men can't take off theirs.
But that also means in bars, churches, libraries, online dating sites, everywhere.

Do it

Female nipples can get erect when aroused.

[edit]
I see the arguments that male nipples can get erect too,
but female ones are far more visible than that of men.

If male nipples got erect like this:

I would want shirtless men banned too.
