I feel like it has to be much more complicated than this. Sure they influenced the culture but a lot of polytheistic cultures seemed to also have coverings
Comment on When did breasts become a thing that needed to be concealed in public and why?

Once the Abrahamic Religions (Christianity, Judaism, and Islam) became huge. It’s all about “Women are evil sluts who do nothing but sin and tempt the good and pious men”, it’s pretty evident in modern societies that have large populations of people that follow these religions.

The correct answer has three upvotes, and Victorian era rises to the top. Women have been covering their breasts for purposes of modesty for ~3,000, not 150 years. Well, at least you have 4 upvotes now.
