"The social role" when it comes to chest nudity

[JMJW]

Yeah I live in the UK. Not any opportunity to be shirtless. I don't swim, we don't have a beach culture and guys who take their shirt off in the summer get looked down upon as chavs. Even if there was opportunity there's simply no reason to.

I'm all for top freedom such as the law in NYC and "free the nipple" in general.

I do not like the double standard one bit. We have two nude beaches here in Oregon where people can be more or less equal, but when not at those places i follow the social norms and cover up.

I should not have to. 100% equality on all things - accept nothing less.
