Talk:Toplessness

About the word “Topless(ness)”!
Hey there! I will start off by saying: I know that “Bare-chested(ness)” may be the male equivalent of “toplessness”, but that doesn’t mean the word “topless(ness)” should be referring to “a complete female upper-body exposed” only.

Next I will say: The word “Bare-breasted(ness)” can be the female equivalent of “toplessness”. Therefore, the “Topless(ness)” subject should be talking about “both the male’s and female’s upper body exposed” here on Wikipedia. I just don’t like how the 1st sentence started off on this subject in the article page.

Lastly I will say: Even though I’m a man, I would prefer that the word “Topless(ness)” be used to describe my own “male exposed upper-body” - if anyone is to talk about me and my natural upper-body at any point (say) in the future - being as I like it better versus the words “bare-chested(ness)” and “shirtless(ness)”, just to clarify! 🙂

Anyways, Thanks for reading as my message here relates to the topic! 👍 Craig Lungren (talk) 08:52, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Agree completely. IMO this is one of the most embarrassing examples pushing a point-of-view on en:Wikipedia. -- Infrogmation (talk) 22:40, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
