In our puritanical culture (both West and East, it seems to me), I think such a statement as one in this thread is unlikely to make progress, and more likely to regress. Saying that men are allowed to go bare chested, why not women? - I think that will lead to movement that says, "yeah, why are men allowed to go bare breasted. We shall change
that!"
Anyone who leans pro-nudity is hardly (that's what she said) going to give you a sincere argument. I can't think of anything OP has conveyed that strikes me as outside of how I wish the world was set up. We've had 3000 years (or more) to work through this pubescent approach to our own naked bodies, and we still seem to be around square 1.5. People who are anti-nudity are, IMO, going to (ahem) penetrate the argument by advocating for change in what you say is being allowed now - i.e. cloth men's bare chest before we even consider for a second unclothing women's chest region. And that wouldn't be all that hard to change. I already feel like the "no shoes, no shirt, no service" policy is why I don't go into Starbucks displaying my upper region. (Well that and because my man boobs might scare the kids.)
