Why were women not allowed to play in shakespearese plays?

Women were not permitted to appear on the public stage in England before the year 1660, in any kind of performance including Shakespeare's plays. The reason was that people considered it indecent for a group of men to stare at a woman who was showing herself off for them. It suggested a prostitute advertising her product. If they allowed women to appear on stage like that, then unscrupulous theatre owners would exploit them by having them appear unclothed on stage or simulating acts of sexuality in order to titillate the men in the audience. History shows that they were right about that.
