I beleive the technical term in the literature for that is “shirt cocking”

Only slightly less icky: shirt with speedo briefs. (This was the point in Star Trek: The Next Generation when I realized I didn’t want to live in the 24th Century.)

Not at all - it could also mean “I have sensitive shoulders.” Fair warning: if I ever go to a burn, I’m going shirt cocking, just to mess with the prudes. 
(The Reddit thread doesn’t get it either, apparently it’s “because of associations with creeps” and “cultural mores”, which aren’t great reasons).
But who has shoulders that are more sensitive than their genitals?

Somehow adding a bow tie makes it even creepier.

Depending on the shirt, it can protect you against direct sunlight to that area without restricting you. I’m never actually going to do any of this, I just think it’s an arbitrary dress code that is orthogonal to someone’s willingness to harass women. I’m definitely against harassment, but I’m also against the cultural idea that women’s bodies are beautiful and sexy while men’s bodies are ugly and threatening.
I don’t think shirt cocking is really a form of harassment per se, it’s just creepy because it’s a fashion statement that directs attention to the genitals by simple virtue of omission.

I used to play in a blues band, and every new years eve we would get booked at a local nudist retreat. They paid well, were kind/considerate, and knew how to boogie.
I wore clothes.

Oh no, no no no. The male body is hideous. No one wants to see it.

You probably wore tweed even with the blues band didn’t you?
