but what if I dont want people to stare?

then wear a fucking bra/shirt. that's part of what they're for. I own several! but also, I don't always want to wear them, or care. do you understand what a "choice" is?

what about incidental contact

yeah, topless dudes on the train can be annoying. im sure topless women on the train would be almost as annoying. and don't care! also, have you heard of a "choice"?

undoing oversexualization is hard, so lets just not

shit, okay, you got me. too bad I need to either decide everyone must go topless, or nobody can, and we can't each choose from day to day. oh well.

I do. I've expressed this plenty above. Sometimes expanding on it bothers people with sensitivites. Discussion can do that.

And that should be the normal way things play out. I assume you are capable of understanding that the ideal is not always the norm.

shit, okay, you got me. I can't deal with opposing opinions so I need to lose my cool and throw a tantrum. oh well.

Noted.
