men & females

It does feel kinda weird, right?

Religion is truly the ruin of every civilization

I was just about to say, lol
Them spicy ankle pics

Not even that. It's a myth. Most skirts were short enough to show the ankles because nobody wanted a muddy skirt.

The ankles? Looks nervously in the rough direction of the middle east You mean her face?

Yeah, i'd say it was only true "at one time, for some people." e.g the upper class in 1800s britain and america.

I think the historical norm can be derived as follows:

Long ago, say medieval times, people probably took off their clothes more often and nudity was more common. People bathed in rivers in public in those days, they needed to work in water sometimes (hence would show knees from hoisting up clothes) and probably chose to take their thick clothes off during sunny harvest days.

Historic accounts actually say that women would go shirtless, i.e boobs literally out, to relieve from heat during outdoor labour - this was the case in some parts of japan in the very early 1900s and some parts of Britain in 1800s. In Japan towns women went fishing together, in britain it would have been farming groups if i remember correctly.

The exception to this historical reality is localised to industrial-era elite, who preferred to button up tightly and show absolutely no skin (except for face). I suppose it might also be the case for men living in countries where burqas and headscarves are the norm for women, but those countries are still the same way today.

I've got an even bigger secret: Men are too

I lived in Haiti for three years. Breasts weren't considered private. After 2 months, I didn't even notice them. Interestingly, once I came back to Canada, they reverted back to being sexualized.
