Aside from men being horny in the 1800s, and this being a holdover since that time, is there any actual reason why this hasn’t changed?
If society was dominated by women, would this be more likely to change?
I was sweating my ass off hiking in the hot sun, and the question has been bothering me all day after my top soaked through with sweat.
No.
In the United States, for example, by age 45 women are the majority and remain so. As infants and children cannot vote, women also form most eligible voters.
That stopped being true by 2005
It’s now 60-64
And by that age, most men stop taking their shirts off while running as well or stop running altogether.
