In Texas, rules for topless bars are under the jurisdiction of the
Alcohol Control Board (or whatever it is called).  They passed
a rule that topless dancers must wear pasties (the reasoning, according
to a friend of mine who used to dance topless was "hygenic".  "To keep
nipple hairs from falling into the customer's drinks".  But I digress).

Sometime after this rule was passed, male topless bars became popular.
Female dancers complained that the male dancers didn't have to wear
pasties, and that this was discriminatory under the Texas Equal Rights
Amendment (to the State constitution).  Never one to discriminate, the
ACB passed a rule that made wearing pasties mandatory for both male and
female topless dancers!
