Not sure I would like to see that sensible policy changed.

I get that, that is your personal preference but as you well know it's not equality.

I have always considered allowing different gendered couples to have sex and get married to be a perk for a straight person like me.

But I'm absolutely sure I like that fact that same gendered couples can openly be with, have sex and/or get married to the gender they prefer and I worked to see the old policy changed to allow them to do that, even though it's didn't apply to me at all. Smile


I see my post is ambiguous as to whether or not the remedy would be to require all the men to don shirts outdoors all the time, or to allow women to go with out.

Sorry about that.

Having all the guys putting on shirts would be a real bummer for me.  Having women going topless at a similar rate would pretty much go unnoticed by me unless they were noticeably hairy.


And I suppose potential female candidates* for renovation on Botched might garner some interest on my part, but I bet it would NOT be appreciated.

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Yes or... they could have freed all the trees. Smile

In which case the maples' quarrel is with the forester and not the oaks. Smile

I agree that it is sexist that women can't show breasts (and nipples) while men do.

Unfortunately, this forum answers to the people who host it, not just the owners and staff.

Until societal norms change, we have to go with the flow.

And I say there just isn't enough nudity here. Great breasts are just too special and too fleeting not to bask in their glory. On the other hand I assume all of you are as naked as I am now while on line.

More so.
