Women in Sweden are fighting for the right to go topless.
  • Male breasts are sexualized...

    the spokeswoman for Bara Brost who wants to make the topless female as desexualized as a topless male forgets that the topless male is sexualized.

    Now there's arguably a different power dynamic in the topless male - in that an overtly sexual male need not fear harrasment in the ame way a woman might encounter, and there's also the fact that due to societal hierarchies that even unatttractive and unfir topless males will catch less hell than their female counterparts - but the sexual nature of the male is inherent in his toplessness.

    In short - good or bad - the male has an easier time being half naked than a woman - but he's still naked.
