Where do you live where this is government mandated?

I’m a woman so my nipples are criminalized in most of the United States.

That's terrible. I'm glad that this is not the case here in Canada. It does make no sense whatsoever for it to be like this in the US. I agree with your other examples, but this one is clearly unjust and should change.

In many parts of the U.S., it's not actually illegal for women to be topless, they just don't. It is often a requirement for a liquor license, however. For example, where I live in Austin, Texas, state law does not prohibit a woman being topless, and Texas is not generally among the most liberal of states.

Proactively mitigating the abuses that would emerge from a state that doesn't need to encourage more low paying jobs that have a very high rate of sex trafficking? At least the Bud Light at the strip club isn't $12 like that place I went in Las Vegas.

Just wanted to add that it's legal for women to be topless in NYC. There's even a celebration day for it at the end of August.

It's legal statewide and specifically because it would be unfair for men to have the exclusive privilege.

If you’re a woman this might be considered indecent exposure in many parts of the US unless you’re at a beach or in a resort town.

In stores pretty much anywhere.

That's not government mandated.

But the anti-maskers insist on having the right to not wear a mask in stores as well when the business has clearly marked masks are required and staff ask them to leave.

If the anti-maskers respected the rights of others around them as much as they insist on others respecting their rights, this would be nearly a non-issue.

I had assumed it was state laws for ostensible health reasons. But it turns out to have sort of an interesting history and, as you say, apparently isn't legally mandated in any state according to this article: https://people.howstuffworks.com/where-did-shirt-shoes-requi...
