I've been distracted by female attire before, though, and if it were distracting to the point of making any kind of dent in productivity, it would be appropriate to do something. But that's the thing; there is a line somewhere, but without actually seeing the attire of the woman in question it's really difficult to tell if that line's been crossed.

I've never gotten any complaints, but I don't walk around with a massive erection. Of course gender roles aren't identical in our society so I'm not sure any comparison would be apt.

Pushing the envelope doesn't get you anyplace good.

That's just it, though. There are certainly circumstances where not wearing a bra is just fine.
Imagine a woman with a B cup was wearing something like
this without a bra. Even if she had 1/2 inch nipples and it was 50 degrees in the office, it still wouldn't be inappropriate. Just like in the thread on the other forum; a thick wool sweater.
The case doesn't seem black and white to me. Mrklixx was absolutely right, this thread needs pics.
