I am not sure where you are from but here in Toronto yes women can go topless in the streets. But like a man they have to cover up when going into a store. Women here fought it either men keep there shirt on or we are aloud to remove ours. But in sports you are right that is not fair.

It would not be so distracting if you were used to it. And in many countries, people are used to it. It's all considered "dirty" or sexual in this country.

I think it would be far too distracting to have a bunch of half-naked females running around! No one would get anything done, cars would be wrecking all over the place, and dudes would be walking around with drool stains all over their shirts like little kids!

In some cultures it is accepted, but not here. We try to hide what we've got and flaunt what we don't have or make bigger what we don't have. And if we got to much we should'nt flaunt it, then we probably do, It's confusing u figure it out. let me know how u figure it.

Because women have these things called. . T!TS.. . It's illicit and socially unacceptable in the public eye for a woman to be topless. It REALLY isn't a problem with me. In addition, I think that this mostly applies in America.. . Go to parts of Africa, and toplessness (if that's a word) is quite common.

Unfortunately, women have historically been used by men to make money. If women were allowed to remove their shirts, what would happen to the huge industries built around women baring their breasts for entertainment purposes? I don't think our lack of freedom comes from being prohibited from removing our shirts. It comes form our being objectified and from a country that allows and endorses male degredation of females. When women can walk the streets safely, we will have no freedom. Who cares whether or not we can remove our shirts?

Very simple, we have breast! The only time it's alright to take off our shirts is when we have another one on under it!
