Confuted. Baseless glass-half-empty fallacy claim. Dismissed.

I don’t get why you’re unwilling (or unable) to offer any kind of explanation for your views.

But why?

You’re asking me why we treat things that are different from each other differently?

Why does it matter if they’re different and why does one necessitate covering while the other doesn’t?

Warb, your logic is dramatically incomplete. Just because two things are different, it doesn’t immediately follow that one should be hidden, nor does it help inform us as to which one should be hidden. For example, why is it that the women’s breasts are the one that is supposed to be hidden, rather than the men’s? Also, there are other differences… for example, our throats are different (men have a adam’s apple). Should one gender therefore need to cover their throats? Also, there are some things that are the same that don’t need to be hidden (elbows), and some things that are the same that do need to be hidden (butts).

There is no reasoning for any of it. It’s entirely historical. In some cultures, women don’t have to hide their breasts at all. In some, they have to hide their ankles. In some cultures it is obscene to not have a beard. All of it is, in hindsight, arbitrary and meaningless, and yet it persists on its own inertia, or due to religion. There is no logic whatsoever sufficient to explain any of it.

Yes. Just because they’re different doesn’t mean they have to be treated differently. How and why they are different is what matters. I’d argue that there’s nothing inherently different about female breasts beyond the fact that they have more fat and are used to nurse infants, and as such shouldn’t be treated any differently than male breasts. Women should be as freely able to walk around topless as men.

Because that’s the way it’s always been and change is too much work!

Oh yeah that’s right I forgot.

It doesn’t surprise me at all that your average Trump supporter can’t be bothered to even notice that the person they’re tweeting doesn’t even have the same last name as the person they think they’re talking to.

What if a woman has small breasts and a man has large breasts?

In some cultures they are forced to marry.

I know of no cultures where females with small breast are forced to marry men with large breasts.
