Why?

Why not?

Only women?

But you could also say they're status markers that reinforce a social hierarchy and undermine equality.
OK. Should we dress our dogs and cats in pants, as well?
Just following orders, eh?
Freedom, equality, and the American way!
No-one's requiring anything, just allowing. In places where it is allowed, a spike in cannibalism is yet to be observed....
That does not explain a specific reason that requires change. Absolute freedom is an ideal never achieved in practice. I don't have the freedom to let my grass grow for weeks or to leave my stinking garbage on the lawn, yet you do not seem concerned with the loss of those freedoms. Neighbors expect me to keep things looking and smelling nice, so its the law. By the same reasoning I am not permitted to stroll around the neighborhood balls out, despite it curtailing my freedom.

Maybe, but clearly they are not allowed on RF, am I right?

I don't mind women going topless, but there seems to be a huge taboo against folks looking at them when they do.

We just need to sort out all our crazy hypocrisies, fashions and taboos.

Sooo...where do they put their pocket protectors?
They don't need pocket protectors.
Why, you ask?
They have another way to carry pencils & pens.
Everyone knows of the "pencil test".

As I understand it, they can be here as long as they stay covered, like any good fundie.

One does have to be careful when sneaking a peek, but it can be done.

I am aware that it is my own issue, but people being out in public in inappropriate footwear bothers me far more than seeing anyone topless would. If people want to go around topless, let 'em. Coversely, if you want to be topless in public, you should be aware that people will look. General rules of public decency hold, it's impolite to stare, but then, many would consider it impolite to be topless in public, so, you know, just be aware that actions have consequences, and beyond that, hey, so long as now one is hurting anyone, I think people should generally be allowed to dress, or undress, as they like.

That was rather my point. Go topless, or wear what you like. But don't cry foul when people look.

I'm at the other end of the spectrum, I often go out wearing extremely attention grabbing stuff. Most people will have a look and check it out, then go back to what they were doing, and that's fine. Occasionally someone will blatantly stare, and sure, it can be a little unnerving, but hey, I'm the guy who willingly went out in public dressed like a hood ornament, so I don't really feel it fair to complain.

In my experience, it's impolite to stare, even in a nudist resort. Worse, staring marks you as uncool.

It is, of course, ok to look.

Indeed. But being impolite is not illegal. My only concern is people wanting to dress unconventionally, but expecting some sort of legal protection from the uncool and impolite.
