What is this called, "male privilege" where the guys are okay, just because they are better or whatever? What I d not get is the inherent idea that a woman must cover up because "she might" get someone hot and bothered.

Oh-- I am adding: When I feel my stomach is narrow enough so that I do not "feel" fat, I will definitely be out there in crop tops, and sport bra's loose shirt combos. Life is too short!

I would love to be able to go topless too and I think it's so unfair that women aren't supposed to go topless. When I'm hiking alone or with someone who doesn't mind, I'll hike with my shirt around my neck if it is uncomfortably hot out. Then I have to be ready to yank it back down if anyone else comes along the path. It makes me really mad that men don't have to do that and I do when it is terribly hot out. I can't wear a bra because my boobs are too small, the bras all ride up over them and hurt. So if I want to take my shirt off, I'm topless.
