Barechestedness

My barechestedness ran counter to some unwritten subdivision behavioral code and had earned me some hard, disgusted stares from my neighbors.

Barechestedness among men displaying formidable tattoos is not, however, proscribed.

“In terms of what may be considered ‘unpalatable,’ it is my professional opinion that the public would generally find it unpalatable to ask police (who tend to be mostly male) to focus their attention on females’ breasts/chests in an effort to evenly enforce an ordinance that prohibits barechestedness,” [Debby] Herbenick writes.

Is it because they admire his decisiveness, courage, and barechestedness?
