Where do you live where this is government mandated?
- elliekelly 6y agoI’m a woman so my nipples are criminalized in most of the United States.
- smnrchrds 6y agoThat's terrible. I'm glad that this is not the case here in Canada. It does make no sense whatsoever for it to be like this in the US. I agree with your other examples, but this one is clearly unjust and should change.

For example, where I live in Austin, Texas, state law does not prohibit a woman being topless, and Texas is not generally among the most liberal of states.

- ogre_codes 6y agoBut the anti-maskers insist on having the right to not wear a mask in stores as well when the business has clearly marked masks are required and staff ask them to leave. If the anti-maskers respected the rights of others around them as much as they insist on others respecting their rights, this would be nearly a non-issue.
- ghaff 6y agoI had assumed it was state laws for ostensible health reasons. But it turns out to have sort of an interesting history and, as you say, apparently isn't legally mandated in any state according to this article: https://people.howstuffworks.com/where-did-shirt-shoes-required-come.htm https://people.howstuffworks.com/where-did-shirt-shoes-requi...
