If a woman wears clothing a man can’t then it construes as a problem. Men showing hairy cleavage would cause a ruckus.

I posted a comprehensive list earlier.

The sole exception is a skirt, but it has the same hairy-leg problem as shorts. If a man can’t wear shorts exposing hairy legs by convention, why a woman?

Confession: I’ve been thrown out of a gym for wearing exactly the same structured clothing as a woman, “come back and wear something family friendly.” This means in practice that while women can wear bicycle shorts, men can’t.

In some states (Tennessee) gogo dancers of either sex cannot expose their nipples. While men in the audience can take their shirt off, women can’t. In a gay bar this means the male dancers can wear religion-exposing shorts but have to have pasties while the audience doesn’t.
