totally agree with Josh. I covered up for the most part because I didnt want to deal with the random guy in the street stuff even if he is right

Very well explained!

Everyone should dress the way they want. That doesn't mean people won't make fun of you, but go for it.

the other day - & this is on the currently summery side of the planet - it got really hot again towards the arvo. so all the men (& with the current bamboo-cutting & house-painting going on there're more than normally) stripped from the waist upwards. being the only resident woman atm, i felt discriminated & resentful, which also had to do with the fact that usually, because it's my home & there is a (partially silent) agreement, i'd just go naked, but .... for the bloody tradies i felt restricted.

gender equality has a looooong way to go, if women can't even feel bodily free - as free as men feel - in their own home, let alone on the beach, at the pool, in the street.
