Woman says she should have the right to work topless like male co-workers

"It's frickin' double standards, it's sexist"

Based in Sydney, the TikTok influencer was allegedly told by her boss that copying the guys in sweltering temperatures would be too much of a distraction.

In a video recently uploaded to her social media channel, she stressed: "Why are women's nipples offensive to be out on show, but men's aren't? It's a f***ing 40-degree day today and I'm the one that has to wear my shirt while all the boys on the site don't have to wear theirs.

"It's frickin' double standards, it's sexist. I'm actually over it. I just want to be topless like the boys, but no, I will 'distract them.'

"You know girls, just free the t**s. F**k the boys!"

The tradeswoman's rant received a mixed reaction overall, with many of her fans in agreement while others sided with her site manager.

"It ain't the lads you work with that would be complaining, direct the hate towards those running the show," read one message.

"Doing construction in the AZ heat I actually prefer wearing long-sleeved shirts. Keeps you from burning and the sweat soaking up in the shirt keeps you cooler," was a more practical perspective.

"I thought it was only fair if I could get mine off too," she said. "I have no shame in getting my boobs out.

"I don't think it should be 'distracting' because at the end of the day, they're just a natural thing. If you're going to be childish and feel like they're going to be distracting, then you should just grow up."
